The motto is associated with the following family surnames:
Chichester
Cooper
Gun
Hargreaves
James
Molesworth
Muncaster
O’Hara
Pennington
Shaw
However, the arms to which the motto applies appears to be not amongst those names. I have some difficulty is actually determining just what tincture the lions in the 1st and 4th quarters is supposed to be - any clues?
I believe that the motto actually translates in English to "The love of my country exceeds everything" or "The love of my country prevails". Well, it would be if it was spelt correctly - it should be ‘PATRICŒ’ not ‘PATRIÆ’ as the last word.
