Please provide any other information that you can
"Boar" implies the wild-boar, and occurs perhaps more frequently in Scottish 
than in English coats of arms. It was called with the old heralds "sanglier." A 
young wild-boar is termed a "grice," and is borne by families of that name. The 
term "marcassin" is also used for a young wild-boar, and this should be 
represented with tail hanging down, instead of twisted. The term "hog" and 
"porc" are also employed.
  The boar, besides being represented in the various ways common to other animals, e.g. passant, rampant, statant, &c., may be represented enraged. It may also be represented crined, tusked, cleyed, membered, unguled, armed, bristled, &c.
  More frequently the heads were borne than the whole animal, and are represented as lying lengthways, unless expressed otherwise. The snout is in some French arms of a different tincture. It should be stated whether the heads are couped or erased.
