14 THE ANCIENT GLASS IN YORK MINSTER. 
I. North-west Window. 
St. Catherine. 
In the apex is a fleur-de-lys. The glass in the tracery is dated 
1762. The shields in pairs are incorrectly tinctured. They repre¬ 
sent the arms of the See—Greystock (old), Baliol-Latimer, and 
Clare—Old Percy. Previously, according to Dodsworth, these 
were— 
Plantagenet (Edward I.)—gules three lions pass, guard in pale or. 
Castile and Leon (Queen Eleanor) — quarterly 1 and 4 argent a lion 
ramp, purple, Leon ; 2 2nd 3 gules a castle tripled tower or, 
Castile. The shield of Queen Eleanor is the first example 
of the quartering of arms. Although this shield is gone there 
is another in the heraldic window in the Nave. 
Plantagenet (Edward I.) 
Clifford —cheeky or and azure, a fess gules. Robert de Clifford, 
1st Lord of Clifford, was afterwards slain at Bannockburn. 
Cornwall —argent, a lion rampant gules crowned or, in a bordure 
sable bezanty. Although this shield has gone, there is another 
in the Nave clerestory. 
Vere —quarterly gules and or, in the first quarter a mullet argent. 
Edmund, Earl of Cornwall, was cousin-german to Edward I. 
In 1272, he succeeded to the manors of Knaresborough and 
Boroughbridge, which Henry III. had granted to his father 
Richard, who claimed the waterway as part of the manors, and 
levied tolls on the passengers who carried their wares by the 
rivers Ouse and Ure to Boroughbridge and York. The mayor 
and citizens of York resented these tolls, and in 1279 it was de¬ 
clared the said rivers, Ouse and Ure, are not part of the said 
manors, nor ever were. Edmund, Earl of Cornwall, died in 1300, 
and bequeathed a gold ring to William Greenfield, Archbishop of 
York. 
Robert de Vere succeeded in 1296 as 6th Earl of Oxford, and 
was hereditary Great Chamberlain of England. He died in 1331. 
The cinquefoils have the original shields :— 
FitzAlan , of Bedale—barry of eight or and gules. Bryan FitzAlan 
died 1306. His tomb with effigy is in Bedale Church. 
Greystock (old)—gules three lozenges argent. John, of Greystock, 
Lord of Morpeth and Hinderskelf Castle (now Castle Howard) 
died in 1305.
