The second method of marshalling was by impalement. This term means the joining together of different coats of arms by a pale. [Illustration: FIG. 55.] In this arrangement the shield was divided pale-wise as before (Fig. 55 shows the shield divided ready to receive the two coats), but the whole of each coat was crowded respectively into each side of the shield, the right side being charged with the husband's arms, the left with his wife's. Naturally, however, in order to suit this arrangement, the arms suffered a certain amount of alteration. Nowadays, according to Mr. Fox-Davies, the following rules are observed with regard to the arms of man and wife--viz.: "If the wife is not an heraldic heiress the two coats are impaled. If the wife be an heraldic heiress or co-heir, in lieu of impalement, the arms of her family are placed on an escutcheon, being termed an 'escutcheon of pretence,' because ... the husband _pretends_ to the representation of her family." A widow may have the coat of arms borne by her husband and herself marshalled, not on a shield, but on a lozenge, whilst an unmarried daughter may bear her father's arms on a lozenge also, but without a crest. Finally, under the head of marshalling comes the arrangement of all the accessories, of the shield of which we spoke in our last chapter. CHAPTER XI FIVE COATS OF ARMS In this chapter we must say a few words about the five "achievements" which are shown in the coloured plates. These represent respectively the armorial bearings of a duke, marquess, earl, baron, and baronet.[1] [Footnote 1: We have to apologize to our readers for the omission--owing to want of space--of an example of the armorial bearings of a viscount.] To begin with No. 1. This coat of arms belongs to the Duke of Leinster, and should be blazoned--as you will know by this time--viz.: "Arg : a saltier gu : _crest_, a monkey statant ppr : environed about the middle with a plain collar and chained or. ; _supporters_, two monkeys, environed and chained as the crest"; _motto_, "Crom aboo"--literally "Crom to victory," Crom being the name of an old castle belonging to the Fitzgeralds. Now, in this achievement the trio of monkeys tell the story, _not_ of their bearer's grand deeds, but of the noble feat performed by one of _their_ own ancestors. And this is the monkey's story:
