Clan Armstrong Crest

The Armstrong family motto appears in several forms, most commonly as Invictus Maneo (I remain unvanquished). The Armstrong name boasts a legendary origin in traditional oral history and folklore, with its heroic progenitor, Fairbairn, said to have been the standard-bearer and squire to the King of Scotland. According to legend, Fairbairn saved his master in battle by lifting him onto his own horse with one arm after the King's horse had been killed under him. The crest on their arms, an upraised and embowed arm with a grasping hand, commemorates this heroic act that earned them a heritable title (Sir Strong Arm, Anglicised to Armstrong) and a grant of lands in the Borders region.
