The martlet is one of<br>the charges used to denote the cadency of a family, and as such is the sign of a fourth<br>son. The eldest son succeeds to the lands of his father, and the second son to those of<br>his mother, and there may be land, for the third son; but as there cannot be any for a<br>fourth son he must take to him wings and fly elsewhere.<br>HERALDIC SYMBOLOGY<br>Meaning of Medieval Heraldic Symbols Charges and Shield Divisions<br>The principal element and most important part of a heraldic achievement are shields,<br>shields in heraldic language are called escutcheon.<br>Complete surface of the shield is described as field, it can be plain, it can represent<br>a single tincture or multiple sections of differed tinctures divided<br>by various lines of partition.
