Return to the Land
Burke in 1844 describes it in the Encyclopedia of Heraldry:
Arms – “Argent (sometimes ermine), a fess wav y between three wolves’ heads.” Crest - “A wolf’s head erased argent, gorged with a fess wavy onjure.”
A Miller Coat of Arms
This illustration represents the ancient coat of arms of the Millar family. This family was of Scottish origin and is described as follows:
Arms – “Argent, a cross Molene gules” Crest – “A dexter hand holding an open book proper.” Motto – “Felicem reddet religio” 5
The Millar Coat of Arms
NOTE: The Roman Empire had conquered the British Isles centuries before and thus there remained elements of Latin. The Latin motto as interpreted by the author translates as “Religion Gives Happiness”. I suspect the book on the Millar coat of arms represents the Bible and the hand represents man spreading the gospel. The crucifix on the helmet represents Calvary, which we defend.
