Jersey Coat of Arms / Family Crest

(arms of the Bailiwick). A seal superseding on all writs or contracts requiring authentication, the Great Seal of England, was presented to the islands of Jersey and Guernsey by Edward I., in the seventh year of his reign (1279), by letters patent. This seal bore the royal arms, and was surmounted by the legend, S. Ballivie Insularum pro Rege Anglie. Between 1291 and 1315, each island attained to the dignity of a separate Bailly, and the legend around the seal, in the case of Jersey, was altered to its present reading, S. Ballivie Insule de Ierseye.
