Coat of arms

The coat of arms was described as G, two gemelles Or, in chief a lion passant guardant, of the second, impaling, Argent, a pale lozengy S. There being no available illustration, this can be interpreted as a shield containing two coats of arms (impaling) either side of two parallel red (G. or Gules) bars (gemelles). One side was gold (or) and the other silver (argent). On the gold is a walking lion with face towards the viewer (passant guardant) and on the silver, a number of pale black (S. or Sable) lozenge shapes (diamond).[7]
