Coat+of+Arms

William Shakespeare received a Coat-of-Arms through the English Government, signifying that he and his family were now a part of the upper class. Unfortunately, since he did not have a son to carry on the honor, the Coat-of-Arms was not carried on through the family name. Below is a copy of the Shakespeare Coat-of-Arms.

“Latin saying: The motto, probably chosen by Shakespeare, translates from the Latin as "Not without right." Perhaps a son claiming for his wronged father, and the family name, the dues he believes they richly deserve?” Quoted from: In Search of Shakespeare. 2003.
