Did Noble Family words/sayings exist?

by HeckoTheGecko

In ASOIAF/Game of Thrones, the noble houses have words they say that are part of their family. Ex)Winter is Coming, We Do Not Sow, etc. My question is if these existed for real.noble families in medieval times. Thank you.

Hi there! I answered a similar question a few months ago.

The answer is that although some people adopted a "motto," many didn't.
