Herkoms van die Van der Spuy-Wapen
Origin of the Van der Spuy Crest
Die wapen is ontleen aan die van ‘n Vlaamse familie wat eintlik nie dieselfde van het nie (Van der Speye). Omdat die van verander is kan ‘n mens dit nou as die Van der Spuy-wapen beskou.
Die Wapen : Die veld verdeel deur ‘n goue keper : bo blou, met twee goue
koringgerwe en onder rooi, met ‘n goue koringgerf.
Dit wil voorkom asof daar verskeie weergawes van die familiewapen bestaan, soos hieronder aangedui word, maar die basiese uitleg van die wapen bly dieselfde in al die verskillende weergawes.
The Crest is derived from that of a Flemish family who did not actually have the same surname (Van der Speye). Because the surname was changed, one can now regard it as the Van der Spuy Crest.
The Crest : The field is divided by a golden chevron, blue top, with two golden wheat notches and below red with a wheat notch.
It seems there are several versions of the crest, as indicated below, but the basic layout of the crest remains the same in all the different versions.
