Comment by David Pitchford on May 19, 2009 at 12:52pm - Sigh. It's not good. The family line is that the motto means "Tolerate and hope". But I cannot believe that one of William the Conqueror's finest soldiers used that to propel him to victory. There's probably subtle, Christian-oriented semantics lost in translation that, I like to think, read more like: "Be courageous in adversity and trust in God." Shall we go with that?
