Coat of Arms:
Silver with three black boars heads
Crest:
An Oak Tree


BOAR The Wild Boar's strength, courage, and ferocity made it a worthy adversary for the hunter. To the Celts, the Boar was an emblem of war and represented a fierce combatant when at bay, and it is said the Boar ceases fighting only with its life. The Wild Boar symbol was often used as an armorial bearing of a warrior.  When just the Boar's Head is used it signifies a token of hospitality; it was often the fee mentioned as due to the King as the condition of feudal tenure.
