Okay.
I was told, but St Gabriel, that my arms would not be passed b/c they are not a "French" design for coats of arms in period.
They also listed that they couldn't find anything by a M. de Roquelaure in the 16th century, though I managed to find period information of a person by the name of "de Roquelaure" in period...I have the information at home.
But that's beside the point.
What I was woundering is this:  DO my arms HAVE to match my person's origins?  Jsut b/c my persona is French, do they ABSOLUTELY HAVE to be within the French design??

Always,
Tristan
