Hamilton

The Hamilton Crest of "Out of a ducal coronet or, an oak-tree fructed and traversed with a frame-saw ppr., the frame or, the blade inscribed with the word ""Through"" was incorporated in the family motto after Gilbert de Hamilton killed John de Spencer in 1325. Persued by the enraged Spencer family he took refuge in a forest and disguised himself as a wood cutter. As the Spencer party rode towards him he shout ''Through'' (meaning the tree was sawn through), the Spencers rode past taken in by the disguise.
