Skrine Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

The Skrines of Warleigh, co. Somerset, have a tradition that they are descended from one Don Eskrino, a follower of Philip of Spain, when he came into England to marry Queen Mary. It is added that he remained in England, and obtained from Philip permission to bear the arms of Spain. This account, which does not carry much probability with it, is, however, somewhat supported by the arms borne by the family, which are: "Azure, in the dexter chief and sinister base points, a tower Argent; in the sinister chief and dexter base points, a lion-rampant Ermine, ducally crowned Or"-certainly a remarkable resemblance to the ensigns of Castile and Leon.
