Montfichet Arms Intrepretation

Legg inn av Patricia Junkin » 05 apr 2006 14:01:02

I am an admitted novice at heraldry and am hoping some one can
confirm/correct my assumptions.
On this webpage, I find the Montfichet arms.
http://perso.modulonet.fr/~earlyblazo/index.htm
Am I correct in identifying them as:
"alibi. Or, three chevrons gu. A label of five points sa. "
Thank you in advance,
Pat

Sorry Patricia, but when I click on the link provided, it doesn't show
any representation of arms.

I can visualise your description above, except I don't know why you
have commenced with the word "alibi": what is that intended to connote?

According to Brian Timm's' excellent site, the Montfichet arms are
slightly different, in that the main tinctures (colours) are reversed
and the label may be slightly different two (not unusual when dealing
with early arms, where varying blazons may exist and different members
of the family may have adopted differences in order to distinguish them
from one another):

Gules, three chevrons or, a label azure

(search for "Montfichet"; NB these are illustrated, and appear
identical with the arms of William de Clare)
