Sir Edward:
--- Quote from: Sir Ancelyn on 2010-12-03, 13:07:21 ---Okay, let's try this, I will have to draw it up after work of course ;-),
Per cross Azure and Gules, 2 lions rampant contourney (I want my lions to look to the right) Or
How would I say lions only on the blue?
--- End quote ---
Like this?
I think you blazoned it correctly. If not specified, the first charge is in dexter or chief, or both, in the first field that allows the color (I think). Since "Or" can sit over either color, I think it's assumed the first charge will be in the upper left if there's only two of it on a "quarterly" division.
Sir Ancelyn:
That looks about like what I envisioned. I'll see what I come up with from a couple of sites and send my favorite one late on Saturday.
Ah, red and blue, symbolizing all the blood spilling from the bodies of my slain enemies. Hahahahahahaha! ;-)
Sir Wolf:
wow that is nice man!
Sir William:
Yea, I like it too!
Sir Gerard de Rodes:
Sir Ancelyn,
Really nice choice. Can I ask if there is a reason why you wish your Lion Rampants to face the sinister side?
Sometimes this was seen as a bad omen or a denotation of some dishonourable act somewhere in your family history. Very much like the reversed bendlet.Although you will probably not find this information in popular modern literary sources, it was a common way to interpret sinister facing devices at the time.
