101 AN INDEX OF LANCASHIRE HERALDRY. Contributed by R. Sharpe France, F.R.Hist.S. HIS index has been compiled with the object of T rendering assistance in the identification of the coats - of - arms actually borne by, or attributed to, Lancashire families. But, one might well ask, what is a Lancashire family ? is it a family which throughout its known existence has been seated in the county ? If so, few would be eligible for inclusion in this list. Or is it a family which at some period in its history has been associated with Lancashire ? If so, the number would be legion. The answer has been found somewhere between the two, with the result that my choice may not in all cases be equally acceptable. With one or two exceptions, no arms of the commercial families of the nineteenth century have been included. The modern grants to boroughs have been omitted, although ancient boroughs and monastic houses are included. It should be pointed out that in each case one locality only is given for each family. For some even this choice is somewhat arbitrary. A few words on how to use the index may be useful, although a short perusal will make the system clear. To identify a coat-of-arms, turn to the section relating to the principal charge, whether Bar, Bend, Canton, Chevron, Chief, Cross, Fess, Lozenge, Pale, Saltire, or Various Charges. Next, refer to the colour of the shield, and lastly find the exact description. The convention has been adopted of referring to the cross-crosslet simply as the Crosslet. It is now generally recognized that heraldic charges were quite without significance, particularly a mystical IO2 An Index of Lancashire Heraldry. significance. They were simply a mark of recognition, and the only meaning which can be read into them is that which appears in certain arms usually referred to as punning or canting arms. Such are the covered-cups of the Butlers, the acorns of Ackers, the oak-leaves of Ogden, the calves of Veale, the dishes of Standish, the dung-forks or worthing-forks of Worthington, the storks of Starkie and the boars' heads of Birley and Barton. It must be made clear that this is simply an index to Lancashire heraldry. The inclusion of a coat-of-arms is no indication of its authenticity. If a coat has been attributed to a family it is included. The sources are the Victoria County History, the Visitations as published by the Chatham Society, Burke's General Armory, and a number of local histories. A critical account of the heraldry of Lancashire is yet to be written. PARTITION LINES 1. Barry of 6, argent and azure . Aske of Chowbent 2.

    Hark the Heraldry Angels Sing

    The UK Linguistics Olympiad 2018 Round 2 Problem 1 Hark the Heraldry Angels Sing Heraldry is the study of rank and heraldic arms, and there is a part which looks particularly at the way that coats-of-arms and shields are put together. The language for describing arms is known as blazon and derives many of its terms from French. The aim of blazon is to describe heraldic arms unambiguously and as concisely as possible. On the next page are some blazon descriptions that correspond to the shields (escutcheons) A-L. However, the descriptions and the shields are not in the same order. 1. Quarterly 1 & 4 checky vert and argent 2 & 3 argent three gouttes gules two one 2. Azure a bend sinister argent in dexter chief four roundels sable 3.

  • Heraldic Terms

    Heraldic Terms

    HERALDIC TERMS The following terms, and their definitions, are used in heraldry. Some terms and practices were used in period real-world heraldry only. Some terms and practices are used in modern real-world heraldry only. Other terms and practices are used in SCA heraldry only. Most are used in both real-world and SCA heraldry. All are presented here as an aid to heraldic research and education. A LA CUISSE, A LA QUISE - at the thigh ABAISED, ABAISSÉ, ABASED - a charge or element depicted lower than its normal position ABATEMENTS - marks of disgrace placed on the shield of an offender of the law. There are extreme few records of such being employed, and then only noted in rolls. (As who would display their device if it had an abatement on it?) ABISME - a minor charge in the center of the shield drawn smaller than usual ABOUTÉ - end to end ABOVE - an ambiguous term which should be avoided in blazon. Generally, two charges one of which is above the other on the field can be blazoned better as "in pale an X and a Y" or "an A and in chief a B". See atop, ensigned. ABYSS - a minor charge in the center of the shield drawn smaller than usual ACCOLLÉ - (1) two shields side-by-side, sometimes united by their bottom tips overlapping or being connected to each other by their sides; (2) an animal with a crown, collar or other item around its neck; (3) keys, weapons or other implements placed saltirewise behind the shield in a heraldic display.

    Slctccstcvsljtvc antr 10th January, 1855. A MEETING was held in the Town Library, Guild Hall, Leicester, for the purpose of establishing this society. The Venerable the Archdeacon of Leicester was in the chair. He requested Mr. Ingram (the honorary secretary, pro tempore) to read the letters received from various persons who had signified their desire to become members.—The first was from the Bishop of the Diocese, who also expressed his willingness to promote the objects of the society. The second was from Earl Howe, regretting his inability to attend. In a previous letter his lordship stated " I shall be very happy to be enrolled a member, and I assure you I take a decided interest in your proceedings/' Letters from the Rev. G. E. Gillett (mentioning that the Duke of Rutland would accept the office of Patron); from Sir F. G. Fowke (excus­ ing his non-attendance on the ground of ill health, which con­ fined him to his room); and from Mr. Geoffrey Palmer (apolo­ gizing for his inability to be present)—were also laid before the meeting. This part of the business being concluded, the venerable Chairman called on Mr. W. Perry-Herrick, who rose to move the first resolution. He expressed his gratification at being able to take part in the formation of a society which he felt certain would be attended with many beneficial effects, in conducing to the study of eccle­ siastical architecture and general antiquities in the county. He stated his regret that he was so little acquainted with either Archaeology or Architecture ; but that he knew sufficient to enable him to appreciate the value of the labours of those who had leisure to devote themselves more particularly to these interesting pur­ suits, and he hoped, by associating with them at the meetings of the society, he might improve his knowledge, and receive much information and instruction.

The bad news is that, thanks to Sir James of March de Coirnoir, we have recovered a copy of the pre-Split Armorial. It's good news because a lot of things that were lost in the Time of Great Sadness can now be entered into the current Armorial. It's bad news because that meant a heckuva lot more work for yours truly. That's why this LoRR is so late. However, that project is now complete.

    ACCEPTANCES Page 1 of 34 February 2018 LoAR THE FOLLOWING ITEMS HAVE BEEN REGISTERED: ÆTHELMEARC Áine inghean Uí Chaollaidhe. Name and device. Per bend sinister invected purpure and Or, an angel statant to dexter and drawing a bow and arrow argent and a wolf’s head cabossed sable. Amelot Noisete. Device. Per pale azure and vert, a hazelnut tree fructed and eradicated and in chief three escarbuncles Or. Submitted as a "noisetier," a cant on the submitter’s name, the blazon was changed for clarity. In the May 2007 registration of the device of Jeneuer le Geliner, it was ruled: The submitter requested that the hen be blazoned as a geline for the sake of the cant. This term is not a standard heraldic term, nor is it a common modern term. Given the difficulty one would have in determining what a geline is, we decline to use it in this blazon. We wish to inform the submitter that cants needn’t be blazoned. The arms of the Earls of Arundel, with their martlets, are canting arms: but you’d only know that if you knew that the French for "swallow" is hirondelle. The martlets aren’t blazoned that way; but that doesn’t stop them from canting. The same is true here. The above ruling is directly applicable here as well. The blazon will be difficult to understand if the term noisetier is used; and the cant will still be there, even if the term hazelnut tree is used. We are all in favor of cants, but not at the expense of blazon reproducibility.
