What the arms mean
  • Shield shapeHeaterThe usual knightly shield of the 13th and 14th centuries. The shape shows period and fashion, not a symbol.
  • ColourAzureLoyalty and truth: the blue of the sky and the sea.
  • DivisionPlainOne tincture, no division: the simplest field.
  • OrdinaryChevron · ArgentThe rafters of a roof: protection and a home's support.
  • ChargeMullet · OrA five-pointed star: divine guidance, and in English tradition the mark of a third son.

These meanings are a later tradition. Medieval heralds mostly chose a charge for how it looked, or as a pun on the family's name.

The number of figures, where they stand and which way they face are choices of design, with no fixed meaning.
