[edit] Summary

Coat of arms attributed to St. Michael the archangel in the heraldry of medieval England, as seen in the coat of arms of Sunderland, etc. Blazon: Argent, a cross pommy gules.

An alternative depiction is to show Michael bearing a shield with "QUIS UT DEUS" (the Latin translation of Hebrew mi-ka-el), or "Who is like unto God?" (see Image:StMichaelAtCathedralCologne.jpg, Image:Michael4.jpg, Image:Michaelseiche bei Albertshausen, 5.jpg, etc.). For another medieval attributed arms of St. Michael, see en:Image:Sent-Myhell-Armys--Arms-of-St-Michael-ca-1460.png.
