This design represents the foundational achievement associated with the name, specifically the senior Kildare branch. The shield is centered upon a field of Argent, a tincture symbolizing sincerity and peace. This is boldly charged with a saltire Gules, a diagonal cross representing resolution and a readiness for perilous enterprise. In the language of heraldry, these colors and shapes tell a story of a family that valued truth and purity but remained eternally prepared to defend their lands and people with military fortitude.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003eAbove the shield sits the iconic Fitzgerald crest, featuring a monkey statant and chained. This unique heraldic charge is rooted in the legendary tale of the first Earl of Kildare, where an ape reportedly rescued the infant heir from a castle fire. Symbolically, the monkey represents sagacity and ingenuity, while the gold collar and chain denote a disciplined intellect and the taming of powerful forces for noble service. The use of Or, or gold, for these elements signifies a constancy and wisdom that has endured through centuries of Irish history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003eThe achievement is completed by the traditional war cry \"Crom a boo,\" the historic motto of the house of Leinster.
