Summary
| Description |
Arms of William Shakespeare, as granted to his father John circa 1600. Blazon: or, on a bend sable, a tilting-spear of the field headed argent. The crest, not shown here, is a falcon with wings displayed argent supporting a tilting-spear as in the arms. For a contemporary depiction, see File:Shakespear ye Player coatofarms.jpg. The language in the grant of arms was apparently "Gould, on a Bend Sables, a Speare of the first steeled argent. And for his Crest, a falcon, his winges displayed Argent, supporting a Speare Gould" (see "How 'Sherlock of the library' cracked the case of Shakespeare's identity"). Motto: Non Sanz Droit. |
