Crest Symbolism:
The crest illustrates a lion in the "rampant" attitude, standing erect on its hind leg with forepaws raised in a posture of attack. In heraldry, the lion is the king of beasts and is emblem of undying courage, valor, strength, and royalty. The rampant pose specifically symbolizes a readiness to fight and ferocity in the face of an enemy. The curved tail indicates vigor and high spirit. The beast stands upon a torse, or wreath, representing the twisted silk and metal mantle that would sit atop a knight's helmet.
