Caldecott
From BelegarthWiki
Caldecott is the surname of the Pirate known as Calico. His coat of arms appears at right.
Symbolism
The coat of arms features an erminois field crossed by azure waved barries and a chief of azure at the top, containing three sanguine escallops. The entire field standard is crossed by an argent bend sinister (obscuring the third escallop). The erminois denotes dignity and station while the waved barries symbolize the ocean and the family's seafaring heritage. The chief denotes leadership, it's azure color denotes loyalty and the escallops show both the travelling spirit of Thomas and the victorious naval command of his son, William. Their color denotes great patience and victory in battle. The argent bend sinister, normally a sign of bastardy, was added to William's coat of arms when his father disowned and denounced him as a pirate.
The mantle of the standard includes the helmet of a Chevalier wearing a Naval crown. The Caldecott motto, meaning "We Weather The Storm", is seen above.
