Best Answer

Shakespeare's family made a request for the right to bear a coat of arms in 1596. This was granted and the College of Arms records its description in word form, but does not show its actual design. The description is : Gold, on a bend (diagonal bar) sable (black), a spear of the first (i.e. gold), steeled argent (with a silver tip); and for his crest... a falcon his wings displayed argent (silver), standing on a wreath of his colours supporting a spear gold, steeled as aforesaid, (i.e. silver) set upon a helmet with mantles and tassles. The motto was: "Non sanz droict" or "Not without right" For more information, and various artists impressions of how the crest/coat-of-arms may have appeared, see Related links below this box.

It does not belong to a family, although it can be inherited, as Shakespeare inherited his from his father. The shield is or a bend sable. On the bend is a lance.
