three cheverons gules and a chief vair. The shield is eiisigued with 

 an earl's coronet and surrounded by a garter. 



The last five quarters were displayed by the second earl of 

 Pembroke as heir of his mother Anne, daughter of Sir Thomas 

 Parre of Kendal ; and it is said by Doyle (Official Baronage, vol. iii., 

 p. 23), that this earl succeeded jwre matris to the five baronies of 

 Parre, Eos, lltz Hugh, Marmion, and St. Quentin at the death of 

 his mother's brother, William, Marquess of Northampton, on 

 August 1st, 1571. The latter, however, at his attainder in 1553, 

 had forfeited, along with his marquessate, his earldom of Essex 

 and barony of Parre, and it is by no means certain that he ever 

 held any other barony. When, at the accession of Elizabeth, his 

 marquessate was restored to him, his other two titles were not so 

 restored. Henry, Earl of Pembroke, cannot, therefore, have 

 displayed the quarters, Parre, Eos, and the rest, as representing 

 baronies, though these quarterings were undoubtedly carried by 

 his mother, as will appear later. 



Below his shield is the picture of his mother, Anne Parre, 

 wearing a mantle charged as follows : — Quarterly of seven grand 

 quarters : I. Quarterly of four : 1. Parre ; 2. Eos ; 3. Grene — Azure 

 three harts trip-ping or ; 4. Mabelthorpe — O^ules a cheveron hetiveen 

 three crosslcis and in chief a lion passant or ;. II. Eitz Hugh ; III. 

 Marmion; IV. St. Quentin; V. Forneaux— G^^/es a lend 

 hettoeen six crosslets or ; VI. Staveley — Barry of eight argent and 

 gules a fleur-de-lis sable ; VII. Garnegot — Barry or and azure an 

 eagle gxdes. 



The way in which these quarters is arranged is thoroughly 

 characteristic of Tudor heraldry. The first grand quarter, charged 

 with Parre, Eos, Grene and Mabelthorpe, occupies one-fourth of 

 the mantle, quarters II. and III. fill the remainder of the upper 

 half of it, quarters IV. and V. are placed below the space taken 

 by the first grand quarter, and the remaining two are under II. 

 and III. respectively. The Garnegot quarter is very roughly 

 painted, and is only imperfectly visible. 



In the middle of the window are the arms of Philip II. of Spain, 

 consort of Queen Mary I., ensigned with a crown of lleur-de-lis
