Re: New renditions of arms in various armorials
Hello Michael, The stars are intended to be in a rather random pattern much as real stars in the sky. In this case, I think the less-used expression 'accompanied by' would be preferable to semee or the like. No particular constellation in mind. Thanks for asking, though. Do you by chance have a comm...

Origin It's easy to believe that this expression derives from the imagery of digging with spades and that 'in spades' is just short for 'in spadefuls'. However, the spades concerned...

Re: Blazon this
So, what is a Leisten? Glad to provide some clarification via links for those interested. As I am bilingual German-English, I will advise against using Google translate because of the specialized nature of the terminology. First of all, 'Leisten" is the plural of "Leiste".
