This website – a branch office, so to speak, of Armoria – derives its address from the Afrikaans word for a motto. In turn, it is linked to the URL ending in barensteel – this is the Dutch word for the mark of difference an eldest son puts on his shield during his father’s lifetime, called in English a label. It seems appropriate for a site specialising in family arms. (For an explanation of the shields left and right [the right-hand one bearing a label], click here)
