In several motion pictures I observe boars' heads and capes included in coats of arms. In at least one, "Our Man Flint," it apparently had some sinister connotation. But equally apparently, it was shown to be relevant only in England rather than Great Britain as a whole.
What is the significance, good or evil, of the boar's head in heraldry? Or are boars' heads merely a device to show atmosphere?
