[Ansteorra] Bears

[Michelle Dodd]

I don't know the truth of this, but I was told years ago, that a relative had traced my mothers line back to a French Baron from the Alsace/Lorraine region, whose device included a bear and a rose, along with the motto "Bold as a Bear". I have no knowledge as to colors or positioning of the bear and rose. 

I did like the idea enough to make it into my own registered device. I wish I knew who the relative was & how to contact them for more info.

Argent. Two bears, rampant combatant, gules. A chief invected & to base a rose, azure. 

(I think that's right.)


The pursuit of truth and beauty is a sphere of activity in which we are allowed to remain children all our lives. (Albert Einstein)
