II · Two houses, one shield

JoosteLombard
the shield divides per pale at the centre; the husband's arms dexter, the wife's sinister (CAP-MAR-001 sect.1, Fox-Davies ch. 33)
  • dexter · Jooste — the line surname (Joost / Joosten)
  • sinister · Lombard — G2 — Maria Magdalena Lombard, m. Ewald Cronjé Jooste 1955

The husband's house takes the dexter half, the wife's the sinister — the marshalling of a marriage. Where a house's arms are drawn they are drawn as the record states them and at the record's certainty (a candidate match from an armorial is shown lighter); a hatched field, on the "how sure" lens, means the record does not hold that house's arms as established; a plain field with no arms named is open by design, not empty by neglect.
