The shields in the upper white panels are the Plantagenet arms 
in the centre between those of Old France and one bearing 
quarterly gu. castles ov and az. a dolphin arg. considered by Dean 
Purey-Cust to be for Castile and Auvergne, in honour of Blanche 
of Castile, and as an extra compliment to Queen Margaret. 1 In the 
centre of the middle white panels is the shield gu. cross moline erm. 
for Bek, the Prince-bishop of Durham, between those of Old 
Mauley and the later one of Mauley. Anthony Bek was conse¬ 
crated Bishop of Durham in York Minster on the same day that 
the remains of St. William were translated from the nave to the 
shrine behind the high altar, when Edward I. and Queen Eleanor 
were present. On the white panels in the base the central shield 
is ov , two bars gules (a fess, Torre) in chief three torteaux , for Wake, 
whose daughter married a Mauley. This shield is between one— 
arg. a bend between six martlets gules , Furnival, and another— or a fess 
dancette sa., Vavasour. Peter de Mauley married Eleanor, daughter 
of Thomas, Lord Furnival, whilst her sister Alianora married 
Walter de Vavasour. The border to the central light has figures 
of kings and bishops, whilst at the sides a white falcon alternates 
with oak leaves. The sons of the Mauleys showed their identity 
by placing different charges on the bend sable of the family shield. 
Sir Peter de Mauley the IVth was a great sinner, in 1313 he 
w r as absolved by the archbishop for an offence, on condition he 
paid 100 marks to the fabric of the minster. Three years later 
Edward II. ordered an enquiry to be made into an affair in which 
Sir Peter Mauley and others were concerned in carrying off a 
waggon in which were seven nuns from Walton Abbey. In 1328, 
penance was enjoined by the archbishop to Sir Peter de Mauley 
for adultery.—“ On every Friday in Lent, the Ember days, and 
Advent for seven years, he is to fast on bread and small beer, 
and on Good Friday and the vigil of the festival of All Saints, to 
use only bread and water. Fie is to make a pilgrimage to the 
shrines of St. William of York, St. Thomas of Hereford, St. Mary 
at Southwell, St. John of Beverley, and St. Wilfrid of Ripon, 
and is to be “ fustigated ” seven times before a procession in the 
Church of York.” 2 FI is son Peter the Vth was lord of Bainton 
in the East Riding and built the church there, his arms are 
on the west tower over the gable of the south porch. There is 
a fine mural tomb with a cross-legged figure in mail of a Mauley 
which is considered to be that of Sir Edmund who fell at Bannock¬ 
burn.
