Baron and Femme

A term used in blazonry to express the arms of husband and wife, when borne per pale in the same escutcheon.  This is a French term which, literally translated, means man and woman and expresses the dexter and sinister, or the husband and wife’s, side of the shield, regardless of rank. When the wife is not an heiress her arms occupy the sinister side, and the husband's the dexter. If she is an heiress, the husband bears her arms on an Escutcheon of Pretence.

English heralds generally use the word impaled, which is the more usual way of describing the achievement of man and wife.
