WHAT DOES SUN IN SPLENDOUR MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Sun in splendour

The Sun in Splendour is a heraldic device or charge. It consists of a round disc representing the sun surrounded by numerous rays, usually wavy or alternating wavy and straight, and sometimes showing the features of a human face. It is alternately known as the Sun in his Glory. It is a common charge in the heraldry of many countries - e.g. the bearings of Armstrong, Canada, and the arms of Banbury Town Council, England. It often appears as a rising sun as in the arms of East Devon District Council, England, and as a demi sun as in the coat of Aitchison, Canada. It was used as a badge by Edward II of England, and was later adopted by Edward IV following the appearance of a parhelion or "sun dog" before his victory at the Battle of Mortimer's Cross in 1461. It also had significance in alchemy, and has been suggested as being a visual image of the Roman deity Sol Invictus. The alternating straight and wavy rays are often stated to represent the light and heat of the sun respectively. The Sun of May shown on the national flags of Uruguay and Argentina is identical in form to the "Sun in Splendour".
