I don't suppose the tinctures are given? St George's Roll (c1285) gives
Dakney arms as Azure a cross between four lions rampant or., but perhaps
there were other shield(s) used by the de Akeny

There are a number of shields depicting a maunch, in particular one of the
(de la) Mare family shields: Gules a maunch argent, compare to the Tony
family Argent a maunch gules, ie identical but reversed tinctures.
