ARMS (Shield) INTERPRETATION:
Argent - (Means the Shield is Silver (Argent=Silver))
a griffin segreant - (Means a mythological female half Lion & half Eagle beast
is to be added to the Shield & is to be drawn in the Segreant attitude (Segreant is like Rampant (standing
on 1 hind leg, in profile) but with Wings outstretched)) - Note that this is one of the
very few incidents where a female is implied when not expressly deScribed otherwise by the Scribe.
sable - (Means the Griffin is black (Sable=Black))
CREST (Helmet) INTERPRETATION:
Non - (Means no known Crest was deScribed to be affixed by the Torse (wreath
of cloth with 6 twists, alternating between the primary tinctures) together with the Mantling,
to the Helmet, which is drawn in Profile with the Visor closed, or with no Visor nor Grilles - the kind used by
an Esquire/Commoner/Citizen)

Griffon - (Valour and death-defying bravery; vigilance)
