Okay, since there are people here, but no discussion, I'll start something.
<brave girl!>

There is this song that I really like called Liberty.  Apparently it is
quite old (Scot vs English timeframe).  In it there are a whole bunch
of references to groups/clans.  Can someone identify them and explain
why they are referenced in that manner?  The list of groups is as follows:

cross of Andrew <somebody>
sword of William <somebody>
crown
falcon
eagle
lion
raven
spear <Annendale? this sounds like something out of net.wobegon!>
<Yarrowvale?>
no longer green field
silver shield
someone "they" sold
someone with gold clothes
someone "they" can't keep locked up

Well, it's a pretty blood-thirsty song, but it is good long distance driving
music!
