  • The Lucy Pedigree
    Franks Forages No 22A. The Lucy Pedigree There is in the Warwickshire Record Office, a letter to George Lucy from Francis Martin dated August 24th 19331. Who was Francis Martin and what was it about? The clue is in the library. Under the top of the small square table in the north side of the room is the Morocco bound pedigree on vellum of the Lucys prepared by the College of Arms. The College of Arms was founded in 1484 and is the official heraldic authority for England, Wales, N. Ireland and much of the commonwealth. Please read this ‘forage’ in conjunction with the College of Arms web site at www.college-of-arms.gov.uk which will help in understanding the context. Francis Martin was the Windsor Herald from 1819-39 and George Harrison Rogers-Harrison was Bluemantle Pursuivant from 1831 to 1849 when he also became Windsor Herald. Pursuivants are junior Officers of Arms. Francis Martin’s letter to George Lucy was in reply to George’s enquiry to the College of Arms for producing the Lucy pedigree. After apologising for the delayed reply due to illness, Martin gives a detailed response and salient points from the letter hereunder in a script approximating the original handwriting. I have transcribed a faithful copy of the Black Book in regard to the Lucy Pedigree. It is by no means a book of authority although reasonably useful when it corroborates with other evidences. There are many erasures and corrections in this book and particularly in the Lucy Pedigree which shows that points were doubted by the compiler.

  • “Powerful Arms and Fertile Soil”
    “Powerful Arms and Fertile Soil” English Identity and the Law of Arms in Early Modern England Claire Renée Kennedy A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History and Philosophy of Science University of Sydney 2017 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My greatest thanks and appreciation to Ofer Gal, who supervised my PhD with constant interest, insightfulness and support. This thesis owes so much to his helpful conversation and encouraging supervision and guidance. I have benefitted immensely from the suggestions and criticisms of my examiners, John Sutton, Nick Wilding, and Anthony Grafton, to whom I owe a particular debt. Grafton’s suggestion during the very early stages of my candidature that the quarrel between William Camden and Ralph Brooke might provide a promising avenue for research provided much inspiration for the larger project. I am greatly indebted to the staff in the Unit for History and Philosophy of Science: in particular, Hans Pols for his unwavering support and encouragement; Daniela Helbig, for providing some much-needed motivation during the home-stretch; and Debbie Castle, for her encouraging and reassuring presence. I have benefitted immensely from conversations with friends, in and outside the Unit for HPS. This includes, (but is not limited to): Megan Baumhammer, Sahar Tavakoli, Ian Lawson, Nick Bozic, Gemma Lucy Smart, Georg Repnikov, Anson Fehross, Caitrin Donovan, Stefan Gawronski, Angus Cornwell, Brenda Rosales and Carrie Hardie. My particular thanks to Kathryn Ticehurst and Laura Sumrall, for their willingness to read drafts, to listen, and to help me clarify my thoughts and ideas. My thanks also to the Centre for Editing Lives and Letters, University College London, and the History of Science Program, Princeton University, where I benefitted from spending time as a visiting research student.

  • Imagereal Capture
    113 The Law of Arms in New Zealand: A Response Gregor Macaulay* :Noel Cox has written that "Ifany laws of arms were inherited by New Zealand, it 'was the Law of Arms of England, in 1840",1 and that in England and l'Jew Zealand today "the Law of Arms is the same in each jurisdiction",2 The statements cannot both be true; each is individually mistaken; and the English la~N of arms is in any case unworkable in New Zealand. In England, the laws of arms may be defined as the law governing "the use of anms, crests, supporters and other armorial insignia [which] is to be found in the customs and usages of the [English] Court ofChivalry",3 "augmented either by rulings of the [English] kings of arms or by warrants from the Earl Marshal [of England]".4 There are several standard reference books in English heraldry, but not even one revised and edited by a herald may, in his own words, be considered "authoritative in any official sense",5 and a definitive volume detailing the law of arms of England has never been published. A basic difficulty exists, therefore, in knowing precisely what the content of the law is that is being discussed. Even in England there are some extraordinary lacunae. For instance, the English heralds seem not to know who may legally inherit heraldic badges.6 If the English law of arms of 1840 had been inherited by New Zealand it would have come within the ambit of the English Laws Act 1858 (succeeded by the English Laws Act 1908).

At the same time, it seems, the reality of heraldry's online presence falls somewhat short of the society's expectations.

  • The Graphic Herald: Exploring Heraldic Language Through Graphic Design
    The Graphic Herald: Exploring Heraldic Language Through Graphic Design by Daniel McCabe Heraldry is everywhere around us. Its visual language is found in a rich variety of graphic guises and contemporary contexts, from castles and pubs to street signs and fine wines. But to what extent do those with an interest in heraldry appreciate and understand the ways in which the language of armory is applied and perceived in the modern world? Drawing on insights gained during an extensive practice-based research project, this essay considers the extent to which graphic design can explore, expose, and challenge the application and perception of heraldry within the context of twenty-first-century British society.1 Graphic design as an academic discipline offers particular advantages to heraldic enquiry, since it utilizes a dynamic range of investigative methods in relation to undertaking practice- based research. It offers researchers the opportunity to record, analyse, test, and communicate ideas through a combination of visual and textual responses. Graphic design also draws upon specific semiotic theories connected to how we read and find meaning in symbolic matter, all of which are especially pertinent to exploring the visual field of heraldry. Therefore, graphic design provides both an excellent research framework through which the existence of heraldic visual language in contemporary society can be examined critically, and a conceptual approach to exploring ways in which its relationship with the public can be revealed. For the graphic design educator and practitioner, heraldry can appear both distant and, yet, strangely familiar. On one level it is a symbolically enigmatic art form, one that speaks of knights, of chivalry, and of societal hierarchy.

  • The Earl Marshal, the Heralds, and the House of Commons, 1604–1641
    P. H. HARDACRE THE EARL MARSHAL, THE HERALDS, AND THE HOUSE OF COMMONS, 1604-16411 The successful reassertion of the authority of the Court of the Earl Marshal, in the recent case of the Corporation of Manchester vs. The Manchester Palace of Varieties, Ltd., has renewed interest in this ancient institution. The court ruled that The Manchester Palace of Varieties had wrongly displayed the heraldic arms of the Corporation, contrary to the laws and customs of arms, and that the court itself, which had last sat in 1751 and which Blackstone described as having fallen into contempt and disuse, was still empowered to give relief to those who thought themselves aggrieved in such matters.2 A full account of the Court of the Earl Marshal is much to be de- sired.3 It cannot be attempted in the space of this paper, but one period 1 The author gratefully acknowledges a summer fellowship at the Folger Shake- speare Library which enabled him to do part of the research.
