Acorn Coat
What do these symbols mean? (Family Crest)?
http://www.thetreemaker.com/coats/Fry-Germanyt.jpg
What do the acorns mean is question number 1. any other information on the colors would be appreciated.
It's for a school project Im just supposed to find out what the symbols mean... i dont plan on buying that
I also do not care that this is not my actual crest. we were aloud to make one up if we couldn't find one. I really just want to know what these things are said to be to make my history teacher happy.
I will tell you the truth, even though you may not want to hear it.
MEANINGS: The "meanings" on the sites like www.fleurdelis.com are bogus, and are based on an old book in which the author made up meanings (W. Cecil Wade's "The Symbolisms of Heraldry or A Treatise on the Meanings and Derivations of Armorial Bearings". Published in London in 1898). http://www.heraldica.org/faqs/mfaq
Each person who designs his arms intends certain meanings for the charges, ordinaries, and tinctures. There are only a few charges that have universal meaning, e.g. some religious symbols. Otherwise, it's up to the armiger. For example, a heart could mean "love," or it could tell the story of a battle, or it could be a pun on the armiger's name, such as for Mr. Hartfield.
Bottom line: you have to know who the original armiger was in order to know what he intended, and even then the design may remain a mystery. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heraldry
YOUR COAT OF ARMS: If the original armiger was not your direct ancestor, then they are not your arms. There are many Fry coats of arms, each one connected to a unique lineage. Many Fry lines do not have arms. See this book for other Fry arms: http://books.google.com/books?id=TqorAAAAIAAJ&pg=PA60&dq=fry&ei=OEIZSoPDLpWOyASV0J3zDA&client=firefox-a
