Description
The coat of arms, or family crest, of the related Swartwout, Swartout, Swarthout and Swartwood families is described as follows. From the "Swartwout Chronicles" - The ensigns armorial or coat-of-arms of the Frisian Swartwouts emblematically represent not only the woody locality of the patrial manor, but also the political freedom which they originally enjoyed as possessors of the extensive estate of Zwartewoude. The right of emblazoning on their war-shields the proper figure of an alert deer bounding across a grassy glade of a dark forest was granted the male members of the family, by royal decree, in the thirteenth century.
Note the exact name printed here. There are four variations of the name, each with its own image: Swartwout Coat of Arms, Swartout Coat of Arms, Swarthout Coat of Arms and Swartwood Coat of arms.
Note also that this is a small image and is therefore offered as print in the smaller sizes only. However, it does work well some other items as well.
