HE exact status Of the badge in this

country, to which it is peculiar, has

been very much misunderstood . This is probably due to the fact o f th e that the evolution badge was gradual,

and that its importance increased unconsciously . Badges formerly do no t appear to have ever been made the subjects o f grants pure and o f fre simple, though grants standards were quent, and standards Often had badges thereupon . o f Apart from such grants standards, however, the instances which can be referred to as showing o r the control, even the attempted control, by the Crown o f the use o f badges are very rare indeed o f in times past . As a matter fact, the Crown seems almost to have purposely ignored them . B adges are not, as we know them, found in o f the earliest period heraldry, unless we are to l presume their existence from early sea s, many o f which show isolated charges taken from the W arms ; for if, in the cases here such single I I He ra ldic B a dg e s

charges appear upon the seals, we are to accept those seals as proofs o f the contemporary exist o f ence those devices as heraldic badges, we

should Often be led into strange conclusions . s There is no doubt that these isolated device ,

which are met with constantly at an early period, o f were not only parts arms, but were in many ori in o f fi nd cases the g arms, which we later in the use Of the descendants Of the same families

as those which made use o f the earlier form . Devices possessing a more o r less personal and possessive character occur in many cases before record can be traced o f the arms into which

they subsequently developed . This will be o f noticed in relation to the arms Swinton , for

example . The earliest Swinton seal shows the ’ o f isolated charge a boar s head, whilst the developed coat o f arms was a chevron between If three such heads . , however, these simple o devices upon seals are badges, then badges g o f back to an earlier date than arms . Devices this ki nd occur many centuries before such a o f thing as a heraldic shield arms existed . Hera ldic Bad e a s we know it The g , , however, came into general use about the reign O f

Edward III . ; that is, the heraldic badge as a separate matter, having a distinct and separate existence in addition to the concurrent arms o f 1 2 He ra ldic B a dg e s

the same person, and having at the same time a B t distinctly heral dic character . u long before t f that date, badges are found wi h an allied re er ence to a particular person, which very possibly are rightly included in any enumeration o f badges . Of such a character is the badge o f the broom plant, which is found upon the tomb ff o f Of Geo rey, Count Anjou, from which badge the name of the Plantagenet dynasty originated . no t a (Plantagenet, by the way, was a person l o f a surname, but was the name the dyn sty . ) f It is doubt ul, however, if at that early period there existed the opportunity for the use Of t f . Bu ar heraldic badges , nevertheless, as back f I - as the reign o Richard . and some writers would—take examples of a still more remote period these badges were depicted upon flags, for Richard I . appears to have had a dragon upon o ne o f his standards . o f These decorations flags, which at a later

date have been often accepted as badges, can l hard y be quite properly so described, for there are many cases where no other proof of usage

can be found, and there is no doubt that many cases o f this nature are instances o f no more than banners prepared for specific purposes ; and the record o f such and such a banner cannot necessarily carry proof that the owner o f the 1 3 He r a ldic B a dg es

banner claimed o r used the Objects depicted If thereupon as personal badges . they are to

be so included, some individuals must have o f revelled in a multitude badges . But the diffi culty in deciding the point very greatly depends upon the definition o f the term “ ” badge ; and if we are to determine the definition to accord with the manner o f the usage at the period when the use o f badges was o f greatest, then many the earliest cannot be considered as coming within the limits .

In later Plantagenet days, badges were of considerable importance, and certain cha r ct ris t s B a e ic are plainly marked . adges were — never worn by the Owner in the sense in o r which he carried his shield, bore his crest ; they were his sign- mark indicative o f owner ship ; they were stamped upon his belongings in the same way in which Government property is marked with the broad arrow and they were worn by his servants . They were ordinarily and regularly worn by his retainers, and very probably also worn more or less temporarily by o f if bi adherents his party, he were g enough to lead a party in the State And at all times badges had very extensive decorative use . There was never any fixed form fo r the badge ; there was never any fixed manner o f 1 4 He ra ldic B a dg e s

fi nd fi o f usage . I can no xed laws inheritance, O f f no common method assumption . In act, o f the the use a badge, in days when everybody who was anybody possessed arms, was quite subsidiary to that Of the arms, and very much akin to the manner in which nowadays mono

o f. grams are made use At the same time, care “ must be taken to distinguish the badge from ” the rebus, and also from the temporary devices which we read about as having been so Often adopted for the purpose o f the tournament when the combatant desired his identity to be concealed . Modern novelists and poets give us plenty l o f of i lustrations of the latter kind, but proof the fact even that they were ever adopted in fi nd that form is by no means easy to , though their professedly temporary nature o f cours e militates against the likelihood Of contempo rary

record . t The rebus had never any heraldic sta us, and it had seldom more than a temporary exist o f ence . A fanciful device adopted (we hear many such instances) for the temporary purpose o f a tournament could generally be so classed, but the rebus proper was some device, usually a pictorial rendering o f the name o f the person for whom it stood . In such a category would also be included many if not most printers ’ and I S He ra ldi c B a dg es

’ masons marks ; but probably the definition O f o f Dr . Johnson the word rebus, as a word fi represented by a picture, is as good a de nition

and description as can be given . The rebus in ff f its nature is a di erent thing rom a badge, and

may best be described as a pictorial signature, the most frequent occasion for its use being in

architectural surroundings, where it was con s tantly introduced as a pun upon some name

which it was desired to perpetuate . The best known and perhaps the most typical and cha racteristic o f o f rebus is that Islip, the builder

part of Westminster Abbey . Here the pictured punning representation of his name had nothing to do with his armorial bearings or personal ffi badge but the great di culty, in dealing with ffi both badge and rebus, is the di culty Of fo r knowing which is which , very frequently the same o r a similar device was used for both o f purposes . Parker, in his glossary heraldic

terms , gives several typical examples of rebuses which very aptly illustrate their status and

meaning. o n At Lincoln College, Oxford, and other Beck nto n buildings connected with Thomas y , B o f B ishop ath and Wells, will be found carved

the rebus o f a beacon issuing from a tun . This is found in conjunction with the letter T for 1 6

Hera ldic B a dg e s

ffi but di cult to describe . The crest was the ornament upon the helmet, seldom if ever actually worn, and never used except by the o n person to whom it belonged . The badge, the other hand, was never placed upon the helmet, but was worn by the servants and retainers, and was used right and left on the belongings Of the owner as a sign o f his owner So o ne ship . great and extensive at period was the use of these badges , that they were far more generally employed than either arms o r crest ; ’ and whilst the knowledge o f a man s badge o r badges would be everyday knowledge and com mon repute throughout the kingdom, few people ’ would know a man s crest, fewer still would ever have seen it worn . It is merely an exaggeration o f the diffi culty that we are always in uncertainty whether any given device was merely a piece of decoration o r o r borrowed from the arms crest, whether it had continued usage as a badge . In the same way, many families who had never used a crest, t but who had used badges, took the opportuni y o f the Visitations to record their badges as crests . A notable example o f the subsequent record o f a badge as a crest is met with in the Stourton ’ family . Their crest, originally a buck s head, but after the marriage with the heiress o f Le 1 8 He ra ldic B a dges

M - s ubstan oigne, a demi monk, can be readily ” tiated o f o r , as can their badge the drag, f he V . o ne o t sledge At isitations, however, a cadet of the Stourton family recorded the sledge as a crest . Uncertainty also arises from the lack O f precision in the diction employed at all periods, b ” “ the words adge, device, and crest n havi g so often been used interchangeably . Another diffi culty which is met with in regard o f to badges is that, with the exception the extensive records o f the Royal badges and some other more o r less informal lists of badges of the ff principal personages at di erent periods, badges were never a subject o f official record . Whilst it is diffi cult to determine the initial point as to a whether any particul r device is a badge or not, the difficulty o f deducing rules concerning badges becomes practically impossible, and after most careful consideration I have come to the con cl us io n that there never were any hard-and- fast t rules relating tobadges ; hat theywere originally,

and were allowed to remain , matters of personal fancy ; and that although well-known cases can be found where the same badge has been used generation after generation , those cases may

perhaps be the exception rather than the rule . Badges should be considered and accepted in the I 9 H e ra ldic B a dg es

o f general run as not being matters permanence, and as o f little importance except during the time f from about the reign o Edward III . to about the f reign o Henry VIII . Their principal use upon the clothes of the retainers came to an end by o f the creation the standing army, the begin ning o f which can be traced to the reign o f an Henry VIII . , and as badges never had y i ceremonial use to perpetuate their status, the r importance almost ceased altogether at that period, except as regards the Royal Family .

Speaking broadly, regularized and recorded heraldic control as a matter o f operative fact dates little, if any, further back than the end of o f the reign Henry VIII . , consequently badges originally do not appear to have been taken o f much cognizance by the heralds . Their actual use from that period onwards rapidly

O f . declined, and hence the absence record Though the use o f badges has become very o ne o r restricted, there are still two occasions o n which badges are used as badges in the style formerly in vogue . Perhaps the case which is most familiar is to be found in the use o f the broad arrow which marks Government stores . It is a curious commentary upon heraldic o fli ciald om and its ways that, though this is the e only badge which has really any ext nsive use, it 20 He ra ldic B a dge s

is no t a Crown badge in any degree . Although this origin has been disputed, it is said to have originated in the fact that o ne of the Sydney f M amily, when aster of the Ordnance, to prevent disputes as to the stores for which he was t e sponsible, marked everything with his private o f the badge broad arrow, and this private badge has since remained in constant use . One won ders at what date the offi cers of His Majesty will observe that this has become o ne o f His ’ M t will ajes y s recognized badges, and include it with the other Royal badges in the warrants in Al which they are recited . ready more than two centuries have passed since it first came into t the use, and ei her they should represent to Government that the pheon is not a Crown mark, and that some recognized Royal badge o r should be used in its place, else they should place its status upon a definite footing. Another instance o f a badge used at the present day in the ancient manner is the co n joined rose, thistle, and shamrock, which is embroidered front and back upon th e tunics o f the Beefeaters and the Yeomen o f the Guard

I . (Fig. ) The crowned harps which are worn by the Royal Irish Constabulary are another instance Of the kind , but though a certain number o f badges are recited in the warrant 2 1 He ra ldic B a dge s each time any alteration o r declaration of the

Royal arms occurs, their use has now become very limited . Present badges are the crowned Fi rose for England ( g. the crowned thistle for Scotland (Fig. and the crowned trefoil F ( ig. and the crowned harp for Ireland Fi ( g. whilst for the Union there is the conjoined rose, thistle, and shamrock under the Fi crown ( g. and the crowned shield which o f Fi carries the device the Union Jack ( g. o f The badge Wales, which has existed for long enough , is the uncrowned dragon upon a mount F i . o ne vert ( g and the crowned cyphers, t within and one wi hout the garter, are also depicted upon the warrant . These badges, ’ o n which appear the Sovereign s warrant, are never assigned to any other member o f the o f Royal Family, whom the Prince of Wales is the only o ne who rejoices in the possession o f ffi o cially assigned badges . The badge of o f the eldest son the Sovereign, as such , and o f o f not as Prince Wales, is the plume three enfil e d ostrich feathers , with the circlet from i his coronet (F g.

o f Royal badge by the Yeomen the Guard, although sometimes the badge was embroidered upon the sleeve and the wearing of the badge by the retainers was the chief and principal use to which badges were anciently put . Nisbet alludes o n this point to a paragraph from the Act for the Order of the Riding o f Parliament “ ’ 1 6 8 1 nobl em e n s in , which says that the lacqueys may have over their liveries velvet i e coats with their badges, . . their crests and o n o r mottoes done plate, embroidered on the ” back and breast conform to ancient custom . A curious survival Of these plates is to be found in the large silver plaques worn by so many bank messengers . B fre adges appear, however, to have been quently depicted semé upon the lambrequins o f armorial achievements, as will be seen from o f s many the Old Garter plate ; but here, be again , it is not always easy to distinguish fi tween de nite badges and artistic decoration, no r between actual badges in use and mere appropriately selected charges from the shield . The water- bougets o f Lord Berners ; the knot “ o f ff the Lord Sta ord, popularly known as ” Stafford knot ; the Harington fret ; the ragged staff o r the bear and the ragged staff Of Lord Warwick (this being really a conjunction o f 24 He ra ldic B a dges

o f two separate devices) the rose England, o f o f the thistle Scotland, and the sledge - o f B Stourton the hemp brake Lord raye,

wherever met with , are all readily recognized as badges but there are many badges which it is ffi s di cult to distinguish from cre ts, and even some which in all respects would appear to be more correctly regarded as arms . It is a point worthy Of consideration whether or not a badge needs a background here, again , ffi u it is a matter most di c lt to determine, but it is singular that in any matter of record the badge is almost invariably depicted upon a background , o f o r o r either a standard a mantling, upon the field o f a roundel and it may well be that their use in such circumstances as the two cases fi l rst mentioned, may have on y been considered correct when the colour o f the mantling o r the standard happened to be the right colour for f the background o the badge . Badges are most usually met with in stained o o r glass up n roundels Of some colour colours, and though o ne would hesitate to assert it as an actual fact, there are many instances which would lead o ne to suppose that the background Of a badge was usually the livery colour o r colours o f f its then owner, or Of the amily from which it was originally inherited . Certain is it that there 25 H e ra ldic B a dges are very few contemporary instances of badges which, when emblazoned, are not upon the ac known livery colours ; and, if this fact be ce te d fi p , then one is perhaps justi ed in assuming e t all to be livery colours, and we g at once a ready explanation o n several points which have o f long puzzled antiquaries . The name Edward “ the Black Prince ” has often been a matter ’ Of discussion, and the children s history books tell us that the nickname originated from the colour of his armour . This may be true enough, but as most armour would be black when it was unpolished, and as all armour was o r no t either polished dull, the probabilities are very greatly in its favour . Though there can be found instances, it was not a usual custom fo r o ne o r any to paint his armour red green . Even if the armour Of the Prince were enamelled black, it would be so usually hidden by his surcoat that he is hardly likely to have been fa nicknamed from it . It seems to me r more probable that black was the livery colour Of the o wn Black Prince, and that his retainers and o f followers wore the livery black . If that o ne were the case , understands at once how he would obtain the nickname . The nickname is doubtless contemporary . A curious co nfirm a tion o f my supposition is met with in the fact 2 6 Hera ldic B a dges

“ : that his shield for peace was Sable, three

‘ two and o ne o f ostrich feathers , the quill each passing through a scroll argent . There We et o f r g the undoubted badge the ost ich feather, which was originally—borne singly, depicted upon his livery colour black . ’ The badges depicted in Prince Arthur s Book f vide o . in the College Arms ( Figs 3 4, 3 5, 6 o f 3 , 37 , 4 5 , and an important source o ur all knowledge upon the subject, are upon o f backgrounds, and the curious divisions the colours o n the backgrounds would seem to o wn show that each badge had its background, several badges being only met with upon the same ground when that happens to be the true But background belonging to them . in attempt in g to deduce rules, it should be remembered that in all and every armorial matter there was greater laxity o f rule at the period o f the actual use o f arms as a reality o f life than it was possible to permit when the multiplication o f arms as paper insignia made regulation necessary and more restrictive ; so that an occasional variation from any deduction need not nece s s aril y vitiate the conclusion, even in a matter H O exclusively relating to the shield . W

much more, then, must we remain in doubt when dealing with badges which appear to 2 7 He ra ldic B a dg e s have been so largely a matter o f personal caprice . o f It is a striking comment that, all the badges presently to be referred to o f the Staf o ne ford family, each single is depicted upon a background . It is a noticeable fact that Of the “ ” fi Fi 1 1 eighteen badges exempli ed ( g. ) as o f ff belonging to the family Sta ord, nine are upon - fi party coloured elds . This is not an unreason able proportion if the fields are considered to be the livery colo urs o f the families from whom the badges were originally derived, but it is altogether o ut o f proportion to the number o f shields in any roll o f arms which would have fi o r the eld party per pale, party in any other o f form o f division . With the exception the second badge, which is on a striped background o f green and white, all the party backgrounds are party per pale, which was the most usual way o f depicting a livery in the few records which have come down to us o f the heraldic o f use livery colours ; and of the eighteen badges, no less than eight are upon a party- coloured field Of which the dexter is sable and the sinister gules . Scarlet and black are known to have been o f ff o f the livery colours Edward Sta ord , Duke

B who 2 1 . uckingham, was beheaded in I 5 The 28 He ra ldic B a dges arms o f the town of Buckingham are o n a field per pale sable and gules . With regard to the descent o f badges and the laws which govern their descent, still less is known . The answer to the question, How ” “ s " did badges de cend is simply, Nobody knows . One can only hazard opinions more

o r . less pious, Of more or less value It is distinctly a point upon which it is risky to be fo r dogmatic, and for which we must wait the development o f the revival o f the granting o f standards . As cases occur for decision , prece dents will be found and disclosed . Whilst the secrecy of the records Of the College o f Arms is so jealously preserved, it is impossible to fi c speak de nitely at present, for an exa t and comprehensive knowledge o f exact and autho ritative instances o f fact is necessary before a fi decision can be de nitely put forward . Unless some Officer o f arms will carefully collate the information which can be gleaned from the records in the Coll ege o f Arms which are rele vant to the subject, it does not seem likely that ur o knowledge will advance greatly . In recently reading through the evidence o f ff the Sta ord Peerage case, a certain document which was then put in evidence excited my a curiosity , and I have been at p ins to procure 29 He ra ldic B a dg es a copy of the grant o r ex e mplificatio n o f the ff ff Sta ord badges to the Earl of Sta ord, pater nally and by male descent Howard, but who o f ff - was known by the name Sta ord Howard, and who was the heir-general of the Stafford family . To make the matter complete, perhaps it will be well to first reprint a certain clause in f o I . the Act Restoration, Edward VI , upon which was based the necessity for action by the Crown And that the said Henry and theirs Males o f his Bo dye shall and may by A uctho ritie Of the Acte be restored and inhabl e d from h e ns furthe to beare and give and s ingul er suche the Armes of the Barons of Staffo rde as the same Barons ’s r and A ncesto to yo saide Subj ecte have doon and used to doo in the tym e o f your ’ noble Pro ge nit s before the ie o r anny o f them were called o r created Earles o r Dukes without chal e nging bearing o r giving any other Armes that were of the ” said late Dukes his Father .

The Witness was directed to withdraw .

It may be o f interest to call attention to the fact that the Royal arms were displayed before ff those o f Sta ord . f o f On the ace it, the document, as far as

it relates to the badges, is no more than a f o r ex em l ificatio n certi icate p , in which case it is undoubted evidence that badges descend to

- the heir general, as do quarterings ; but there is the possibility that the document is a re grant in the nature o f an ex em plifi catio n follow in o r re— g a Royal licence, a grant to remove uncertainty as to the attainder. And if the document, as far as its relation to the badges o f o f goes, has any the character a grant, it can have but little value as evidence o f the descent abs o of badges . It is remarkable that it is l utely silent as to the future destination o f the 40 1 1 . FIG .

badges . The real fact is that the whole subject o f the descent and devolution o f badges is f shrouded in mystery . Each o the badges is depicted within a circle adorned with the suc ff cession of Sta ord knots, as is shown in the

first instance in the text . Five o f these badges appear upon a well o f o f B known portrait Edward , Duke ucking

ham . The fact that some o f these ba dges are reall y crests depicted

upon wreaths, goes far as an authority for th e use o f a crest upon livery buttons for the

purposes o f a badge .

In ancient days, all records seemed to point Fi 1 1 g. . to the fact that badges

were personal, and that though they were worn o f tlze by the retainers, they were the property lzea d the o f of the family, rather than (as arms) the whole family ; and though the information

available is meagre to the last degree, it would appear probable that in cases where their use by other members o f the family than the head o f

the house can be proved, the likelihood is that the cadets would render feudal service and would wear the badge as retainers of th e man whose 4 1 He r a ldic B a dges

standard they followed into battle, so that we Shoul d expect to fi nd the badge following the same descent as the peerage, together with the lands and liabilities which accompanied it . This undoubtedly makes for the inheritance o f a badge upon the same line of descent as a barony by writ, and such a method of inheritance accounts for the known descent o f most o f the badges heraldically familiar to us . Probably we shall be But right in so accepting it . on the other hand a careful examination o f the Book of Standards now preserved in the College o f Arms provides o f several examples charged with marks cadency . B ut here again o ne is in ignorance whether this o f o r is an admission inheritance by cadets, whether the cases should be considered as grants o f differenced versions to cadets . t This, then, gives us the badges, the proper y o f in and which , I assume, would descend to

- the heir general (and perhaps also to cadets), whilst it would be used (if there were no in herite d o f o r right) in token allegiance service, al - o r actu , quasi actual, sentimental, by the cadets o f the house and their servants for Whilst the use o f the cockade is a survival o f the right to o n be waited and served by a soldier servant, the use o f a badge by a cadet may be a survival o f and reminder the day when , until they 4 2

instance, devices which are undoubtedly crests fi are exempli ed as and termed badges , even as such being represented upon wreaths , and even in that form granted upon standards, whilst in other cases the action has been the reverse, it leaves one under the necessity - o f being careful fi in making de nite assertions . Having dealt with the laws (if there ever were any) and the practice concerning the use and display of badges in former days, it will be of interest to notice some o f those which were anciently in use . I have already referred to the o f badge the ostrich feathers, now borne ex cl us ively by the heir apparent to the throne . The o ld legend that the Black Prince won the badge at the battle o f Crecy by the capture o f o f B John, King ohemia, together with the ” motto Ich dien , has been long since exploded . Sir Harris Nicolas brought to notice the fact that among certain pieces o f plate belonging to Queen Philippa o f Hainault was a large silver gilt dish enamelled with a black escutcheon “ ’ vno s cuch with ostrich feathers, nigro cum o f pennis de ostrich, and upon the strength f that, suggested that the ostrich eather was probably originally a badge o f the Counts of O s tre vans Hainault derived from the county of , a title which was held by their eldest sons . 44 He ra ldic B a dg e s

The suggestion in itself seems probable enough , no t and may be correct, but it would account for the use of the ostrich feathers by the Mowbray no t f family, who did descend rom the marriage i o f of Edward III . and Ph lippa Hainault . Contemporary proof of th e use of badges is fi n M often diffi cult to d . The owbrays had many badges, and certainly do not appear to have made any very extensive use o f the ostrich B t fi feathers . u there seems to be very de nite o f authority for the existence the badge . There is in o ne o f the records o f the College of Arms f . 2 2 o (R , which is itself a copy another t record, the following s atement

Of the smaller shields at the o f M side, the dexter bears the arms owbray, and the sinister those o f Segrave Possibly the Mowbrays as recognized members o f the Royal Family bore the badge by subsequent o n grant and authorization, and not the simple basis o f inheritance .

o f The arms Sir Roger de Clarendon, the illegitimate son o f the Black Prince were “ ” derived from this shield for peace, which I take it was not really a coat o f arms at all but merely the badge o f the Prince de icte d p upon his livery colour, and which might equally have been displayed upon the a roundel . In form of a shield bearing three feathers the badge occurs o n the obverse o f 1 1 o f the second seal Henry IV . in 1 4 . A “ single ostrich feather with the motto Ich dien upon the scroll is to be seen on the seal o f o f Edward, Duke York, who was killed at 1 1 the battle o f Agincourt in 4 5 . Henry IV . as Duke o f Lancaster placed o n either side o f his escutcheon an ostrich feather with a garter ” o r belt carrying the motto So vere ygne twined round the feather . John of Gaunt used the badge with a chain laid along the quill, and o f Thomas, Duke Gloucester, used it with a garter and buckle instead o f the chain ; whilst B f o f John eau ort, Duke Somerset, placed an o n o f ostrich feather each side his shield, the

[quills in his case being compony argent and azure, like the bordure round his arms . MS f . . 0 1 2 There is a note in Harl 3 4, olio , o f which , if it be strictly accurate, is some importance . It is to the effect that the 47 He r a ldic B a dg e s

“ feather silver with the pen gold is the ’ King s, the ostrich feather pen and all silver ’ i e. o f is the Prince s ( . the Prince Wales), and the ostrich feather gold the pen ermine is the ’ ” Duke o f Lancaster s . That statement evi d e ntly relates to a time when the three were i e in existence contemporaneously, . . before the

accession o f Henry IV . In the reign o f o f Richard II . there was no Prince Wales . f o f . 1 6 During the reign Edward I II , rom 3 7 f onwards, Richard , a terwards Richard was o f o f Prince Wales, and John Gaunt was Duke o f Lancaster (so circa But John o f Gaunt

He derived from Henry III . , and, like the M owbrays, had no blood descent from Philippa

o f . Hainault This, then, would appear to be another reason why the origin suggested by Sir

Harris Nicolas is incorrect. A curious confirmation o f my suggestion that black was the livery colour o f the Black Prince is found in the fact that there was in ’ D uns tan s a window in St . Church , London , 48

He ra ldic B a dg e s was under the n ecessity of making an alteration which the obvious pun upon his name s ug o f gested . There is no doubt that the crest Ireland (a stag leaping from the gate of a cas tle) originated therefrom . The stag in this case was undoubtedly ” lodged in the earliest versions, as was the s badge, and I have been much intere ted in tracing the steps by which the springing attitude has developed itself owing to the copying of badly drawn examples . Amongst the many Royal and other badges in the country there are Fi 1 re re some o f considerable interest . g. 5 p “ ” sents the famous badge o f the broom-cod “ ” o r fi o m planta genista, which the name of a the dynasty was derived . It appe rs to have been first used by King Henry though it figures o f o f ff in the decoration the tomb Geo rey,

Camden be correct, that John of Gaunt took a red rose to his device by right o f his wife the “ o f i e heir Lancaster as ( . . I take it because) o f Edmund Langley, Duke of York, took the white rose . The white rose o f York was a sign o f the tenure o f that honour by the castle

The personal badges o f the members o f the Royal Family continued in use until the reign o f Queen Anne ; but from that time forward the Royal badges obtained a territorial character . o f o f To the floral badges the rose England, the o f o f thistle Scotland, and the shamrock Ireland, popular consent had added the lotus -flo we r for fo r India, the maple Canada , and, in a lesser o r fo r degree, the wattle mimosa Australia but ffi fi at present these lack any o cial con rmation . fi rst- fi u o n The two named, nevertheless, g red ’ King Edward s Coronation invitation cards . o f As I have already said, the College Arms in the Old days do no t appear to have ever granted badges in the form o f a direct grant o f f . rate I o a badge as a badge At any , can learn Bu no instance . t there is the ex em plificatio n o f ff Lord Sta ord already referred to, and I am —a o ne told there is another similar, but later o f the Ogle badges . I am doubtful if o ne is justified in consider in g these documents as grants . I think their real status is merely that o f a record o f existing f o f acts, existing by virtue other creative power than the instrument in question . But what the offi cers o f Arms did do in 55 He r a ldic B a dges

former times was to grant standa rds . There l are sti l in existence such documents, and there are the records of these and many other standards . So that it now becomes necessary to consider o f o ne the question standards, and in so doing must at once explode the curious misnomer which has applied the term “ standard ” to a fla o f o f g bearing a representation a coat arms .

Standards were what were used in battle . It may perhaps be just as well to make clear what were the purposes to which the different parts ’ o f a man s armorial insignia were put . “ The coat of arms was depicted o n the o n shield . It was also embroidered the sur a coat ( garment like a tabard), which was worn over the armour of the man himself to whom o n the arms belonged .

He ra ldic B a dg e s when an army was mustered it was really an a l o m eratio n o f g small armies, each little band led by its immediate lord . They wore his — — livery his colours and embroidered o n breast o r o n o r and back the sleeve, in the cap, was the ’

ba d e. l ord s g The badge, therefore, being the l sign by which a band was mustered, it natura ly followed that it was the badge which appeared o n - the standard, the rallying point in action , - the resting point in camp . Some lords had o f several, some many badges, due course to the accumulation o f estates in a single ownership f Bi by reason o descent through heiresses . g men had several standards—, others placed several badges o n o ne standard in either case the o n accustomed badge , with which the retainers a

particular lordship were familiar, was kept in use . de Fi Each standard (wi g. 3 0) had next the staff f — the cross o St . George the patron saint o f England ; but next to that came the personal o f badges . On the bulk the standards will also a be found mottoes . I confess the constant p pearance of the motto o n such standards as we M have record o f puzzles me . any people have inferred from this that the origin o f the motto

was the Cri de Guerre . In a few rare cases this may be so, but in the great bulk—the mottoes are so senseless and purposeless so 58 He ra ldic B a dg e s

impossible in many cases if considered as a cri — de guerre that I am tempted to doubt the appearance o f the motto o n the Standard o f B attle, and to treat it as a later innovation when o f standards, like the rest things heraldic, had passed into the paper age and the books o f the l hera ds . In early days the intervention o f offi cers o f

arms was hardly needful with regard to standards . o f They were hardly within the limits heraldry . B ut h to t is statement I should, perhaps, add a

certain reservation . t In the twelfth and thir eenth centuries, before tbe bera ldic ba d e as we know it g , , came into no t existence, I think it is only possible, but roba bl e p , that what was carried into action was a o f a b nner the arms, and that the retainers

mustered by this . When all arms were simple, o f the process remained easy . We hear Simon — — “ de Montfort father and s o n bearing Le ’ Banner party e nd e nte e d argent de goules tem (Roll p . Henry Again, Henry de Lacy, “ o f B un c e ndall Earl Lincoln, bore aniere de saffrin un o r rin , O lion rampant p p (La Siege “ Carl avero ck de ), his arms being, Or, a lion

rampant purpure . al f I choose these two cases, and especi ly re er to the latter, because a contemporary record 59 He r a ldic B a dg es

fi Ba nner speci cally refers to his as such, a banner which we know displayed his a rms and not his badge . But at the end o f the thirteenth and the be o f ginning the fourteenth century, the number o f those using arms was by the process o f — subinfeudation rapidl y increasing a process ” stopped by the celebrated writ, Quo warranto, but a result i ncreased by the division o f the o f great estates . The necessity differencing arms derived from a common ancestor, no less than the greater necessity o f different arms where there was no relationship, not only vastly o f multiplied coats arms numerically, but created the intricacies o f the science which have seemed f o ten to bid fair to strangle its very existence .

With these growing intricacies, coat armour, to o f a large extent, was losing its original beauty distinction and advertisement . How could an uneducated serf appreciate the niceties o f differ in e . eratt ence , g. between artistic diaper and g g fo r difference " The growth of heraldry into a science, the pride of race which had evolved o f that science, with its confusion quarterings ff and di erences, had killed its original purpose, f o r . , at any rate, diminished its use there or The science was retained with regard to coat f armour, and con ormity with its rules was 60 FIG . 3 0 .

Something simpler was co m re he n needed, something within the ready p o f sion the uneducated, something suitable to i e o f the original purpose ( . . an advertisement personality) which had called coat armour into being. In fact, it was nothing more than a pure reversion to the elementary rudiments from which the science o f armory had been evolved . So that we fi nd in the fourteenth century the landholders invented the standard “ ” and the cognizance . The latter by its very

name tells us what it was . Taking some charge o r fi ure from his shield, some other simple g f —for the essence o the badge was its simplici ty which his retainers could readily recognize, the leader placed it o n their jerkins so that he could recognize them in battle he placed it o n his standard so that they might know where to o r be in action in camp . His standard itself o f o r o f was the colour colours his liveries,

which his followers all knew and all wore . Such was the evolution o f the standard and

the badge . After the introduction o f the o f standard, it should be noticed that it was liver ff the colours of the y, and usually di ered

from the colours of the arms, and it bore the ba d e o f g and not the coat arms, and not (until 6 1 He ra ldic B a dg e s nearly the close o f the period in which standards were in use) the crest . As to what regulations existed concerning standards we are now largely in the dark, for certain rules which are quoted below plainly belong to the later and decadent period, after crests had appeared on the standard .

And now let us follow the development of matters a little further I hesitate to lay it fi down as a de nite , uninfringeable rule which has ever existed in England, but there is no question that the actual " rule did exist on the

Continent, and I am convinced there was also f a broad general acceptance o it in this country . — — Whilst landholders gentlemen had arms which they bore upon their shields, crests only existed in the cases o f those families which were “ i o f . e. tournament rank, who were eligible to take part in tournaments . What were the o f essentials needed to make proof that rank,

I do not know that it is now possible to say, but the essentials were international, and there is no doubt that it was recognized as something f in excess o ordinary gentility . However that t may be, the unquestioned fact remains, hat whilst scores upon scores o f families were e n titled to arms, but a very small proportion had o f crests . Arms were a necessity, a matter o f o f course, in the status life the gentleman ;

a crest then was a thing coveted and desired . o f The badge was a mere matter convenience, 64 He ra ldic B a dg e s

derived originally from no particular authority, a o r carrying with it no r nk status, no particular o f attribute . Now comes the beginning the confusion between the crest and the cognizance .

It should be remembered that a knight, when tiltin not g at a tournament, did carry his shield —at any rate, not when the tournament was at its zenith in early Tudor days . He was known fi and identi ed by his crest, and consequently “ ” the term cognizance not unnaturally began to be applied to the crest and the device upon the crest was duplicated o n his standards at the tournament . These standards, however, were not the same standards as those under which he mustered his retainers in battle . But whilst this confusion was beginning from what may be termed the natural co nse ue nce s o f q events, there was another force at

. m work Gradually, following in exactly the sa e avenue o f happening as two centuries o r so earlier had coat armour itself proceeded, the fi badge proper had become xed and hereditary, and as a natural consequence the standard of battle followed suit . And with that acquired hereditary character ’ o f o fli cers came the control the King s of arms, their authority in all such matters increasing imperceptibly but concurrently with the gradual 65 E He ra ldic B a dg es

change in military matters, by which the army came to be considered less and less a collection ’ o f o f o f the bands retainers the King s barons, and more and more a levy o f the Ki ng for the ’ King s army collected through those who owed

him such liability . With that control came the ’ granting o f standards by the King s offi cers o f and o f fi arms, at this point (the end the fteenth century) came a change in the character o f the

standard . What was the reason of the change

o ne can only speculate . It may have been partly the desire to assert authority by granting crests it may have been a desire to discourage o f the haphazard selection badges, and an attempt to depreciate their popularity ; it may even be that what the offi cers o f arms granted were M o n tournament standards . y w idea rather o f leans to the belief, however, that the reason grants o f standards by the offi cers o f arms was o f neither the two former reasons, and that such grants were not made with the primary object even of creating a standard for use . I believe n the sta dard itself was quite an ulterior matter, and that the standard was introduced merely as a vehicle for the primary and actual purpose o f the grant o f a crest for the actual o r theoretical necessity o f the tournament . t ffi o f Bu however that may be, the o cers 6 6 He ra ldic B a dg e s arms began granting standards upon which the ’ principal device (after St . George s Cross) was fi a crest set upon a wreath . When the crest gured o n the standard the importance o f the badge t was less apparent, its necessi y less insistent .

In the regulations quoted , mention is made “ that the standard should show the crest o r ” MS “ o r . supporter, , as the other has it, the e beast o r crest with his d vyse .

This needs some little explanation . The origin o f the supporter has often been dis cussed, but it is very simple indeed . Sup porters originated in the custom o f filling up o f al bad e the interstices a se with the g s. This can be seen by examination o f seals o f the fourteenth century, which show not only ani mate beasts, but also inanimate objects . In the fourteenth century such an overwhelming pro o f are portion the supporters provable badges, that it would be by no means a far-fetched suggestion to treat all supporters at that period ffi as being badges . The di culty lies in know ing at what date to draw the line between the fi xed heraldic supporter not being the badge, o r and the badge singly in duplicate, pressed fo r mere artistic purposes into doing the duty and filling the position occupied at a later date by the supporter proper . 6 7 He ra ldic B a dg es

But by the beginning o f the sixteenth ce n tury heraldry o f all kinds was passing into the n n paper stage . The tour ame t, even, was u dying. The Richmond to rnament, the last o ne o f any importance in this country, took 1 1 0 o f place in 5 , and the development military science and the formation o f a standing army eliminated the great bulk o f actuality from

heraldry . attri There survived, however, those strong o f o f butes romance and tradition, caste and

aristocracy, integral parts of and inseparably

connected with armory, the very parts which had exalted it to the high estimation with which

it was regarded, rather than its actual workday

use . The very natural result was that the — unimportant workaday part o f heraldry the — badge and the standard suffered by the exalta o f o f tion the crest and coat arms, which meant

a very great deal which the badge did not . The statutory limitation o f the number o f

retainers, added to the personal idiosyncracies

o f . King Henry VIII , was another factor tend in o f g to the disuse the badge , but the most potent influence was undoubtedly the occur

rence o f the Visitations . The result un doubtedly was that a large number o f families no t then possessing crests translated their 68 He ra ldic B a dg es badges into crests There are numbers o f cases in which o ne can definitely prove that the erstwhile badge thenceforward becomes the crest, and the probability is, that were records available, this will be found to have been the f case in scores o other instances . As far as I a s a ba d e am aware, no badge g is recorded in B the Visitation ooks, and since that period the use o f the badge has survived in but a very o f limited number families . The standard , n however, survived in a perfu ctory manner as o f o f an adjunct the ceremonial a funeral, and as badges had fallen into disuse it was but natural that crests should take their place .

And, as crests were granted and used upon d standards, it is little to be wondere at that the o f original purposes of the badge, as the sign ownership and as the cognizance to be worn by

fi . servants, came to be ful lled by crests But such a usage is diametrically opposed and radically repugnant to the ancient ideas o f the period when the use o f both was simul tane o us fi , clearly de ned and readily distinguish able . That any man should permit his servants to wear his crest was then unthinkable, and the revival o f interest and the greater knowledge o f things heraldic has brought us nearer to a true f ff o f appreciation o the di erent merits each . 6 9 He ra ldic B a dg e s

There still remain to us many o f the o ld o f opportunities for the usage a badge, and it is anachronistic to use a crest fo r purposes for fi which the crest is not tted . All decorative artists will recognize the great artistic opportunities for decorative purposes o f fi which lie in the repetition a simple gure . It is in such decorative use that o ur principal knowledge lies o f the great prominence which badges enjoyed in the Plantagenet and Tudor

periods . Heraldry at the present day has o f largely become a matter decoration . It still, o f course, retains its technical status and its o ld- o f time meaning ; it is still a mark caste, and that its importance thereas is waning is due simply to the inevitable change by which

caste is ceasing to be determined by birth .

Nowadays, other factors with which heraldry,

which is hereditary, has no connection, are

becoming the controlling essentials . So that if heraldry had had no other reason fo r its exist ence it would long since have become a pur o s el e s s p and obsolete anachronism . There can be little reason to doubt that to its practical use and advantage as a matter o f art and as a form o f decoration we o we the rapidl y extending o f in revival interest its fascinating claims, a revival which is widening in its scope by a 70

He ra ldic B a dge s

to obtain the grant of a badge, such excuse cannot any longer be urged, as it has recently ’ been decided by His Majesty s offi cers o f arms that in cases in which it is desired and applied for the ancient practice of granting standards l shall be revived . The grant wi l take the form of the grant of a standard upon which will be represented a badge, and the terms of the grant will permit this badge to be used alone as a single figure for those decorative and other purposes, for which its use will be more suit able and correct than the use o f a crest . Some number of such grants has already been made . A List of Ba dges

o f N compiling the following list badges, I would point o ut the diffi culty which

must attend any such attempt . There does not appear ever to have been any f B ffi o . o cial grant a badge as a badge adges, fi fi however, have been of cially exempli ed with

arms, and standards have been granted with

badges figuring thereupon . The result is that there is no o ne source from which such a list can be compiled ; nor can any test be applied beyond that o f usage in the period when badges were in vogue . What records o f badges exist in the Coll ege o f Arms it is impossible to say in the absence o f access to their records . There is, however, a short list o f MS 2nd M the principal badges in a . ( . 1 6) B 2 and a ook of Standards (I . ) now in the o f M f custody that corporation . any o the

Royal badges, moreover, are depicted in ’ ” t B f . o Prince Ar hur s ook None these, how an ffi ever, is o cial record, and I am ignorant a what weight they will c rry . I should imagine , B however, that the ook of Standards would be fiall accepted as y authoritative . The badges f MS n M 6 2 d . 1 rom . and from the Standards 73 He ra ldic B a dg e s

are included in my list, but I have excluded the devices o n the latter which from their form In are plainly crests . every case I quote, in t he square brackets, authority for the badge, but where any authority has been quoted by the book from which a badge has been trans l is t I ffi ferred to my , have thought it su cient to give the authority quoted without adding the actual work I myself have derived it from . M y list is merely a compilation, and not the result o f original research ; so perhaps this explanation is needed, lest it should be thought I am laying claim to greater labour than I have undertaken . The list is merely an adjunct to B my short essay o n badges and their use . ut I shall welcome any additions properly authe n ticated by proof of usage up to the end o f the Tudor period , either by mention in con temporary works o r by their appearance in architectural or other guise .
