The
tinctures within the
arms represent Denmark.
The vessel (or rowing
boat) represents the
name Stavnsbo. The first
part of the name,
meaning “Fore” is a
reference to the ancient
Stavnbo`s of the Saga’s
and the second part of
the name “Bo” meaning
Dweller/Occupant etc.
Thus the name of
“Stavnsbo” (Norwegian:
Stavnbo & Swedish:
Stambo).
Mentioned
in “Sorli's Tale, or The
Saga of Hedin &
Hogni”, “Skallegrims
Saga”, “The Saga of Half
and His Heroes” and in
“Orkneyinga Saga”, where
the first Earl of Orkney
is introduced as being a
Stavnsbo to King Harald
Fairhair. In English,
Stavnsbo is translated
as “Forecastleman”.
According to
“Skallegrim`s saga”, the
Stavnsbo´s
(Forecastlemen) were the
strongest and most
seasoned warriors, who
occupied the place of
honour, the forecastle,
in battle. The Boars
represent strength
“Forte” as in the motto
and the ancient
Stavnsbo´s of
“Skallegrim´s saga”.
The chevron
represents the armiger's
maternal ancestry. The
motto: “In Forte”
“In/with Strength” is
a reminder to remain
strong in our beliefs.

The
Armiger is of the Danish
Stavnsbo family. The
place name “Stavnsbo”
exists in three places,
the earliest known
record being 1667. The
earliest known recorded
person bearing the name
is Marie Rosalie
Stavnsbo who, in 1790,
lived at Gothersgade no.
12, Copenhagen. However,
there is no known link
between the Armiger and
Marie Rosalie Stavnsbo
or the place names.
