Heraldry

The coat of arms that inspired the Maryland flag belongs specifically to Cecil Calvert, the Second Baron Baltimore. It combines the coat of arms from his mother’s family – the Crosslands – with the coat of arms from his father’s family – the Calverts. The gold and black Calvert coat of arms was awarded to a distant Calvert ancestor, supposedly for valiantly storming a fortification during a battle. The pattern is intended to create the look of the crenellations of a palisade. The Barons Baltimore were allowed to incorporate the first Baron Baltimore’s mother’s coat of arms into their own because she was the heiress of the Crossland family. The Crossland colors are red and silver, and the coat of arms also features a cross bottony or trefoil cross. The colors of the cross are counterchanged, meaning opposite of the color in the quadrant. In the heraldic coat of arms, the crest is supported by two leopards and topped with two pennants flying from a ducal coronet. Their motto was in Italian, “fatti maschii, parole femine,” meaning “manly deeds, womanly words.” The line of the Barons Baltimore ended in 1771 with the death of the sixth Baron, Frederick Calvert.
