COA fam uk Acton-Dalberg (United Kingdom) T-Shirt: Design Description
This t-shirt showcases the intricate heraldic design of the Acton-Dalberg family, a distinguished noble lineage of the United Kingdom. The artwork presents the family's Coat of Arms, a visual representation of their history, lineage, and connections to other noble houses.
The Shield
The central element of the design is the quartered shield, which meticulously combines the arms of the Acton, Dalberg, and Lyon families. This quartering signifies the inheritance and marriage ties that shaped the Acton-Dalberg lineage.
Quarter Breakdown
The first and fourth quarters represent the Acton family. They feature a red (gules) field, adorned with scattered gold cross-crosslets (small crosses with pointed limbs) and two silver lions passant guardant, walking and facing the viewer. The lions symbolize courage and royalty, while the cross-crosslets represent faith and Christian piety.
The second quarter, representing the Dalberg family, is further divided. The first and fourth sub-divisions display a blue (azure) field with six silver fleurs-de-lis (stylized lilies), arranged three, two, and one, topped with a silver dancetty chief (a zig-zag line). This segment alludes to nobility and purity. The second and third sub-divisions feature a gold (or) field with a red cross patonce, overall an escutcheon showing a silver tower with its own dancetty chief. The tower suggests strength and security, while the cross patonce reflects religious devotion.
The third quarter portrays the Lyon family arms: a blue field showcasing a gold lion passant (walking) between three silver plates (roundels), each charged with a black griffin’s head erased (cut off with a jagged edge). The lion embodies courage and strength, the plates symbolize integrity and honor, and the griffin heads represent vigilance and guardianship.
