344 Notes on the Arms of Cardinal Pole. 
its associated quarterings, while the supporters, labels, badges, and so 
forth refer to Neville—i.e., Salisbury—to the exclusion of Warwick. 
The Clarence label, it may be remarked in passing, was first 
assumed by Lionel, third son of Edward III. At first he appears 
to have differenced the Royal arms with a /abel (of Ulster) of five 
points or, on each point across gules, in reference to his marriage 
with Elizabeth de Burgh, the heiress of Ulster. In 1368, however, 
his seal shows that he differenced with a /abel of three points argent, 
on each point a canton gules; and it is probable that he assumed the 
latter, which thenceforth was recognised as the Clarence label, on 
his elevation to that dukedom in 1362. This again had reference 
to his marriage, his wife being grand-daughter of Elizabeth, co-heir 
of De Clare.} : 
The use of the label charged with the three red cantons was revived 
by the third Duke of Clarence, the George Plantagenet with whom 
we have to do, who was fifth in descent from the first bearer of it. 
Duke George employed as one of his badges a black bull armed and 
unguled gold, and his supporters were two similar buds, all no doubt 
adopted in allusion to his marriage with Isabella Neville. 
His son, the ill-fated Edward, Earl of Warwick and Salisbury, 
differenced Plantagenet with the Neville dube/, compony argent and 
azure. He is said? also to have borne “ Fraunce and Englande, a 
labell of three points argent, on cache pointe a torteauz,’’t.c., Plantagenet 
with the label of York. This was probably in his father’s lifetime.

prince :—Quarterly ;—I., France Modern, II., England, III.,

5 This appears to be the arms of Mellent—Lozengy or and azure differenced 
with a bordure platy, Henry de Newburgh, the first Earl of Warwick, being 
the second son of Roger de Bellomont by Adelina, sister and heir of Hugh, 
and daughter of Waleran, Count of Meulan or Mellent.
