[OT] Whats your family Coat of arms and motto? :)

[IrishBlood]

Motto's and coat or arms are a resonably big deal in the land of westeros, whats yours? Here's mine in all its glory

The Shield is: Sable, on a bend cottised argent, a rose gules, buttoned or, leaved vert, between two annulets gules.
Translation: The rose symbolizes Beauty and Grace. The annulet is held to be an emblem of Fidelity
The Crest is: The bust of a moor in profile, couped at the shoulders proper and wreated about the temples argent and azure.
The Motto is: "Fide et amore", 'Faith and love'. As in faith in god and love for family/friends/country
Origin: Ireland

Great thread!



That's my family's.

Never been able to find the Motto or anything. My parents would know but keep forgetting to ask I keep meaning to get into Medieval Reenactment, if it ever happens I'm totally painting that on my shield.

goes well with the lannister colours

Since I'm a lowly highland lass the most I have is a clan symbol and motto



Motto: Be mindful

The clan crest used to be this until the merger with the Campbells.

Thanks!
Also I found the motto. It's Amor patriae nostra lexin latin, so in my bad translation to english it should be like "Love to our homeland, our law".

Damn you all! I wish i could trace my ancestry back, but no.. :/
I just know that some of my ancestors were minor prussian/polish nobles. Ofc, nobody of my ancestors cared for our family history and tracing it all back is nearly impossible now.

[Danscall]

Ahh sorry LordInquisitor, didn't mean to make you jealous there

goes well with the lannister colours

Haha! That's true, It was obviously fate for me to take that house.

My father's family, the O'Haras, have this:



Our motto is "Try". To be honest, it isn't that impressive. Nor is our coat of arms - lions are way overused.

My mother's family is more interesting. Jewish families don't usually have a coat of arms, but our branch, which could be called the Ashkenazis of New York, does have a sigil - a tree with nineteen branches, for my great-grandfather's nineteen children. Six of the branches do not have leaves, for the six children who died in childhood. We do not have a motto yet, but I have proposed "Mishpachah, Ahavah, Emunah" ("Family, Love, Faith") as ours. And yes, I was directly inspired by House Tully's words.

i shall duel for that dishonor sir...

[Kiliç Alì]

My personal coat and my wonderful motto!

SPHAERAE NON ROMPENDAE

[Lord of Lost Socks]

Best picture I got unfortunately.


Motto is translated: "Do what you must, come what may"

Pretty badass motto, even though I do say so myself.

Von Collan, are we...

Anyhoo:

Here's mine, from my mother's side

On top of this I am (very distantly) related to the scottsh Lowland Clan Home

[Heart of Madness]

[saxdude]

Are these supposed to be real coat of arms??

[Danscall]

Mine certainly is the real coat of arms of my family yes.

[IrishBlood]

MInes real anyway, and all the irish one's i've seen posted here. The vast majority of European family names have a Matching coat of arms.

Im really glad i started this thread, those SIgils and sayings are pretty cool
