Castle

Castle

Castle. The emblem of safety. Castles are of different forms in armoury, when mentioned as Castles are always borne as at P. 23, f. 7.

If the cement is of a different tincture fromthe Castle itself, it must be named, and the castle is said to be masoned of such a tincture. The Windows and Ports, when of a different colour, must be expressed ; when supposed to be open, they should be described " voided of the field." When the port is defended by a portcullis it must be named in the blazon. Examples of Castles. See P. 23.
