They bear three pillows, the origin of which Guillim explains--viz.: "This coat of arms is given to the Redman family for this reason: Having been challenged to single combat by a stranger, and the day and the place for that combat having been duly fixed, Redman being more forward than his challenger, came so early to the place that he fell asleep in his tent, whilst waiting for the arrival of his foe. "The people being meanwhile assembled and the hour having struck, the trumpets sounded to the combat, whereupon Redman, suddenly awakening out of his sleep, ran furiously upon his adversary and slew him. And so the pillows were granted to him as armorial bearings, to remind all men of the doughty deed which he awakened from sleep to achieve." In many cases the charges on a coat of arms reflect the name or the calling of the bearer. When this happens they are called "allusive" arms, sometimes also "canting," which latter word is a literal translation of the French term, _armes chantantes_, although, as a matter of fact, _armes parlantes_ is a more usual term. Here are some examples of allusive arms. The Pyne family bear three pineapples, the Herrings bear three herrings, one, Camel of Devon, bears a camel _passant_; the Oxendens bear three oxen; Sir Thomas Elmes bears five elm-leaves; three soles figure on the coat of arms of the Sole family, and to the description of the last armorial charge, old Guillim quaintly adds: "By the delicateness of his taste, the sole hath gained the name of the partridge of the sea." The arms of the Abbot of Ramsey furnish, perhaps, one of the most glaring examples of canting heraldry, for on his shield a ram is represented struggling in the sea! On the shield of the Swallow family we find the mast of a ship with all its rigging disappearing between the capacious jaws of a whale, whilst the Bacons bear a boar. But whoever designed the coat of arms of a certain Squire Malherbe must have surely been in rather a spiteful mood, and certainly had a turn for punning. For on that gentleman's shield we find three leaves of the stinging-nettle boldly charged! In the armorial bearings of the Butler family we see allusion made to their calling in the charge of three covered cups, which commemorates the historical fact that the ancestor of the present Marquis of Ormonde, Theobald Walter by name, was made Chief Butler of Ireland by Henry II. in 1171, an office which was held by seven successive generations of the Ormonde family. The family of Call charge _their_ shield very appropriately with three silver trumpets. The Foresters bear bugle horns; the Trumpingtons, three trumpets. Three eel-spears were borne by the family of Strathele, this being the old name given to a curious fork, set in a long wooden handle, and used by fishermen to spear the eels in mud. The Graham Briggs charge a bridge upon their coat of arms.
