William's seal shows a knight wearing a conical-shaped nasal helmet and a mail hauberk, armed with a three-streamered lance, sword, and convex shield. The knight in the latter device wears a flat-topped helmet fitted with a visor, whilst a long surcoat is worn over the hauberk. Alexander's seal bears the earliest representation of the royal coat of arms of Scotland.ref|There is no contemporary depiction or description of a coat of arms borne by Alan. The arms attributed to his family are first recorded in the Fife Roll, an early fourteenth-century armorial. The seals of the family of his Morville ancestors were charged with a lion, and some of the seals used by Alan and Thomas contained the same heraldic beast. The use of a lion by Alan is in stark contrast to other maritime-orientated magnates on Scotland's west coast who bore a lymphad. The seal of Alan's daughter, Dervorguilla, contained a shield charged with a lion rampant, crowned. The coat arms of Hugh de Balliol (1272), eldest son of Dervorguilla and John de Balliol, is recorded in Glover's Roll, and alludes to both his paternal and maternal ancestry.
