By the Rev. E. E. Dorling. 341 
It is a little surprising that none of the Cardinal’s Beauchamp 
ancestors ever seem to have quartered Mauduit( Argent, two bars gules) 
or De Toeni; although on a certain memorable occasion! Richard 
Beauchamp displayed these ensigns, and fought under them. One 
of Reginald Pole’s near relations, however, Edward Plantagenet 
Earl of Salisbury, his mother’s brother, quartered the latter coat 
with Fitz-John in addition, as will be shown later. 
On his seal Richard Beauchamp, Earl of Warwick, displayed a 
coat quarterly of 4, as follows:—1 and 4, Beauchamp impaling 
Newburgh, 2 and 3, De Clare impaling Le Despencer. His counter 
seal represents the earl on horseback bearing a shield charged with 
Beauchamp and Newburgh quarterjy, and the caparisons of his 
horse are :—Quarterly of 4: 1, Beauchamp, 2, Newburgh, 3, De 
Clare, 4, Le Despencer. 
His Garter-plate, according to Boutell, ? has Quarterly; 1 and 4, 
Beauchamp, 2 and 3, Newburgh; tn pretence quarterly; 1 and 4, 
De Clare, 2 and 3, Le Despencer. 
Doyle* gives a drawing “from his seal’’ of this earl’s arms :— 
Quarterly; 1 and 4, Newburgh, 2 and 3, Beauchamp, which is the 
- game arrangement as that of the heraldic sail given by Boutell.* 
A word must be said here as to the striking /abe/ compony argent 
and azure which is so conspicuous a feature in the shield of Neville 
of Salisbury. This was first borne by Sir Richard Neville, the 
eldest son of Joan de Beaufort (daughter of John of Gaunt, and 
second) wife of Ralph Neville, Ist Earl of Westmoreland. Before 
the Act of Legitimation of the Beauforts in 1397 Catherine 
Swynford’s three sons, and presumably her daughter Joan as well, 
bore Per pale argent and asure,> on a bend of England a labei of 
_ France; which coat was exchanged after 1397 for France Modern 
1TIn 1415 at Calais, where, on three successive days, he tilted against the 
flower of the chivalry of France. (Burke, Extinct Peerage—Beauchamp, 
Earl of Warwick.)
