The term Canting Heraldry frequently occurs in ancient and modern
authors. It is a term of contempt and derision, applied to symbolic
bearings that are assumed without the authority of the Heralds'
College. In many cases they allude to the name or occupation of the
bearer: the motto is probably a pun upon the figures contained in the
shield, or some technical expression used by the parties in their
agricultural or commercial pursuits.
No person, when heraldry was in its greatest repute, dared assume any
cognizance or bearing without permission of the Earl Marshal or the
Kings-at-Arms. Any individuals, who presumed, by assumption, to offend
the laws of the court of honour, were liable to heavy fines and
personal duresse, which in many instances have been rigidly enforced.
