iron.

> Redulf - A red wolf.
> Cooper - A barrel.
> Arrowsmith - An arrowhead above an anvil, or below a hammer.
> Miller - a waterwheel or grindstone.
> Talon of Blackoak - An uprooted black oak held by a huge truncated

> Blackthorne - A branch with thorns on it.
> Eadric of Hastings - An axe combattant with a kite shield to
