Shropshire's Punning Heraldry - Harris

There are quite a lot of armigers with the surname Harris in the MS, here is one example:

Harris, Thomas, of Boreatton, Sheriff 1619, created baronet 1622.

Arms: Or, three hedgehogs 2 & 1 Azure.

Crest: A hedgehog Azure.

The arms of Thomas Harris of Boreatton, Sheriff 1619, created baronet 1622.

The title became extinct on the death of the seventh Baronet in 1693.

A hedgehog is an heraldic pun often used for the surname Harris (and more obviously Harrison) because of a linguistic connection between the Norman French word for hedgehog, "hérisson", and the pronunciation of the name Harris.
