Talk:Martlet

the fourth son
I've heard the cadency-martlet explained thus: the first son inherits the land, the second and third traditionally go into the Church and the Army, and the fourth has no place to land. Is this worth putting in the article? &mdash;Tamfang 17:31, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

I removed "mythical" in the description of the martlet, since it (to my knowledge) is not a bird connected in any way to mythology. Rather, "martlet" is another English name for a swift, which is a small bird with inconspicuous legs. Like many things in heraldry, the martlet is an unrealistic or antique version of a real thing. 156.34.62.43 (talk) 23:58, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

French merlette
There is much needed emphasis in this article on distinguishing between the English martlet and the French merlette, which are completely different. Unfortunately wiki commons has placed merlettes in the category martlet, possibly due to French contributors not appreciating the difference. (Lobsterthermidor (talk) 19:09, 19 April 2014 (UTC))
