FOSTER COAT OF ARMS.
Argent: A chevron vert between three bugle borns stringed gules. Crest: An arm in armor embowered, holding in the hand a broken tilting spear. Motto: Si fractus fortis. "If broken, still strong." Sequor Agnum ( I follow the Lamb) evidently implies Christ, the Lamb of God, and very probably relates to the Third Crusade of the 12th Century, when Sir John Forster accompanied Richard I, King of England, to Palestine and honors at the Siege of Acre in 1191, for which he was granted right to bear a chevron vert on his shield.
