I am interested in sources/resources for Latin motto's in use in 14th C England. Anyone out there have suggestions?
I am toying with using (a quote by Virgil):
"Data Fata Sectus"
Which, as I understand it, translates to:
"Following what Fate decrees"
Any suggestions on something better or more appropriate?
