The Tuite Family 
Tuite Baronet Coat of Arms
Coats
of Arms were developed in the Middle Ages as a means
of identifying warriors in battle and tournaments. All grants of arms are made
to individuals (not all families of a given name) and pass only to their heirs,
normally in the male line.
The
Tuite Coat of Arms is documented in Burke’s General Armory.
The description of the arms is as follows:
“Quarterly, GU. And AR.”
When
translated the blazon also describes the original colours of the Tuite Arms as:
“Quartered, Red and Silver”
Above
the shield and helmet is the crest, which is described as:
“An angel in silver vestment, the right hand holding a naturally
coloured flaming sword, the left hand resting on a shield coloured and charged
as the arms.”
Beneath
the shield appears the motto:
“Alleluiah”
