(4) Gules three leopards, gold. Henry III. 



(5) Silver a lion gules with a crown gold in a border sable bezant]/. 

 Richard, Earl of Cornwall, second son of King John and brother 

 of Hen. III. 



(6) Gold a cross gules. Roger Bigod, fourth Earl of Norfolk, 1225 

 —70. 



In addition there is a seventh shield of the same size and shape — a 

 field of white glass with a green demon and a blue border with bezant- 

 like discs of yellow glass. The demon is apparently sixteenth century 

 glass, the blue border modern, the white glass and the yellow discs 

 appear to be of the thirteenth century, possibly once belonging to a 

 second escutcheon of Cornwall referring to Henry, son of the King of 

 the Romans, who went on crusade in 1268. Carter, in his plate of the 

 Chapter House windows, shows part of a checkered shield, of this 

 series, which has now disappeared. Mr. Dorling suggests that it was 

 that of John de Warrenne, Earl of Surrey, who married the elder Alice 

 de Lusignan and died in 1305. Mr. Uorling ingeniously argues that 

 the date of this series of shields must lie between 1262 and 1270, and 

 that the eighth Crusade in 1268, in which most of the persons whose 

 arms they contain were concerned, was the occasion of their painting. 

 Why they were set up at Salisbury cannot be said, but if this date 

 is correct they could not have been originally in the Chapter House, 

 for that was not built until the reign of Edward I. Nos. 4 and 5 of 

 the above shields are illustrated in colours in the frontispiece, the others 

 from careful drawings. 



The other Wiltshire article," Two Nevill Shields at Salisbury," pp.79— 

 88, with two illustrations from draAvings, deals with glass in the windows 

 of " The Hall of John Hall," built in 1470, the glass being contemporary. 

 The first of these contains, 1 and 4, quarterly, Montagu and Monthermer, 

 2 and 3, Nevill differenced with the Gobony label of silver and azure, for 

 Richard Nevill the elder, b. 1400, Earl of Salisbury in right of his wife, 

 Eleanor Montagu, only daughter and heiress of Thomas, fourth Earl of 

 Salisbury. The second shield displays seven coats arranged in three 

 columns, Beauchamp, Nevill, Monthermer, Despencer, Montagu, Clare, 

 and Newburgh (of which the Despencer coat is modern glass by Pugin), 

 for Richard Nevill the younger, only son of the Earl of Salisbury, b. 

 1428, who in right of his wife, Anne Beauchamp, sister and heir of 

 Henry, Duke of Warwick, became Earl of Warwick as well as Salisbury. 

 Both these papers are reprinted from the Ancestor. The other papers 

 are " Leopards of England," " The King's Beasts at Hampton Court," 

 " A Montagu Shield at Hazelbury Bryan," " The Heraldry of the Font 

 at Holt" (Denbighs.), "Canting Arms in the Zurich Roll." It is 

 needless to say that Mr. Dorling's drawings are excellent. Reviewed,
