Baron and feme : ウィキペディア英語版 | Baron and feme In English law, baron and feme is a phrase used for husband and wife, in relation to each other, who were accounted as one person by coverture. Hence, by the old law of evidence, the one party was excluded from giving evidence for or against the other in civil questions, and a relic of this is still preserved in criminal law. ==Heraldry==
In heraldry, baron and femme are terms used when the coats-of-arms of a man and his wife are impaled, that is borne per pale within the same escutcheon. The position of the husband's arms, on the dexter side (to viewer's ''left''), the position of honour, is referred to as baron whilst the paternal arms of the wife are shown in sinister, referred to as femme. This is the normal way of displaying a married couple's arms together. Impalement is not used when the wife is an heraldic heiress, in which case her arms are displayed in an escutcheon of pretence within her husbands' arms, denoting that the husband is a pretender to the paternal arms of his wife, and that they will descend to the couple's issue.
