I believe this is the Coat of Arms for my Büchele (Buechele) Family. The name being derived from the German Word "Buche" for Beech Tree as versus the German Word "Buch" for Book.
Another Coat of Arms
Another History of the Büchele (Buechele) Name
From what I understand of the Buchele name it came
to be as follows:
Valley is just across the Border from the Province of
Baden in Germany. He was a Huguenot
and Lord of his District. King Louis XIV sent soldiers
to demand that he become a Catholic.
He gave these soldiers a Bible, and said "BY YOUR PINES
AND THIS BOOK, I SHALL NEVER
GIVE UP MY RELIGION." The soldiers went back to King
Louis XIV and told him what Johann
Buehl had said. King Louis XIV did not punish Johann Buehl,
instead he knighted him for his stance.
After Johann Buehl was knighted, he changed his name to Büchele, meaning "LITTLE BOOK".
