The Barbel, in the coat of Bar, forms one of the quar- 

 terings of the arms of Margaret of Anjou, queen of Henry 

 the Sixth, and founder of Queen's College, Cambridge. 

 She was daughter of Rene, Duke d'' Anjou, titular King 

 of Jerusalem. These arms are very beautifully painted in 

 glass in the windows of a curious old manor-house at Ock- 

 wells, in Berkshire, near Bray, on the banks of the Thames ; 

 well known to antiquaries from the engravings in Lysons' 

 history of that county.
