  • A study in the five and six legged charges found on the Arms and Seals of this Nobile family.


The Cinquefoil, the Mullet, the Estoile, the Trefoil slipped, the Mullet-pierced, the Angenne, the Cinquefoil-pierced,


  • Cinquefoil, a grass of five leaves.
  • Mullet, the rowel of a spur; English heralds make it of five straight points; French heralds of six; when borne of six, eight, or more points, the number should be expressed in the blazon. The best authorities consider when it has more than five points it should be described as a star.
  • Mullet-pierced, same as the mullet; but is perforated in the centre, allowing the tincture upon which it is borne to appear through it.
  • Estoile, a star; in heraldry it has six waving points, which distinguishes it from the mullet, which has five straight ones.
  • Inescutcheon, is a small escutcheon (shield), borne within the shield. (Burkes) - a smaller shield placed at the center of the main shield.
  • Orle, is an inner border that does not touch the extremities of the shield, the field being seen within and round it on both sides. It has the appearance of an escutcheon voided, or, as it were, insulated. (Burkes) - When the charges are blazoned "in Orle", they would be placed around the parameter of the shield as if on an invisible "Orle".
