Genet

A genet sejeant az spotted or freckled gu collared or on a mount vert semé with flowers ppr

A small animal of the species of the fox, but not bigger than a weasel. It is very light and swift of foot, and the skin remarkably fine and soft. There are two varieties, one of which is very valuable from being extremely rare. The common variety is grey mottled, or full of black spots; the other jet black  and as glossy as the finest velvet, but speckled with red, which adds greatly to its beauty. The skin, when rubbed and chafed, exhales a most fragrant odour, like musk and anciently the garments of great personages were lined with the fur of this animal, which was of considerable value. The animal itself is sometimes borne in coat-armour and for a crest. As blazoned above, it formed the pendent ornament to the collar of reputedly the most ancient French Order of Knighthood called the Genet, which was instituted by Charles Martel to commemorate a great victory over the Saracens under their leader,  Abdul Rahman Al Ghafiqi, in the Battle of Tours,  alternatively Battle of Poitiers, (معركة بلاط الشهداء in Arabic) on 10 October 732.
