Crusily

Crusily

Crusily, Crucilly, or Crusuly(old fr. Crusule), is used now to signify semé of cross crosslet, but whether or not in the older arms simply small crosses were used cannot be determined. Any ordinary of charge over a field crusily debruises portions of the crosses, which should be arranged diagonally as in the example given in the margin.
