About | Michael the First | CREST & FLAG

 

 

Family Crest

 

The Crest consists of two mermaids holding a shield with one hand, an oar and anchor with the other, representing the sea. 

Beneath the shield is land, scattered with shells and seaweed, representing the Saltees. Above the shield is a crown with the inscription M&A for Michael and Anne. To the left and right of the inscription are six jewels. On top of the crown is a cross. In the centre of the cross is a red jewel. 

These seven jewels represents Michael and Anne's children. The jewel in the centre of the cross representing the child which died at birth. These jewels are replaced by stars on the Saltees Flag.
