Pane 11

Digitally corrected image of Blount arms, Pane 11, with top two panes in shield restored to correct positions

Arms of Charles Blount, 1st Earl of Devonshire, 8th Baron Mountjoy, KG. Pane 11 has been reassembled incorrectly, top two panes transposed, after the 1886 publication of Bates, Cadwallader John, The Armorial Glass in the Windows of Montacute House. The correct ordering is:

  • 1:Blount
  • 2:Ayala (Argent, two wolves passant sable a bordure or fretty gules)
  • 3:Or, a tower azure (Sanchett)
  • 4:Beauchamp of Hatch Vairy
  • 5:Holt de Colbrigg (Azure, three fleurs-de-lys argent)
  • 6:Argent, a fess gules in chief three covered cups of the second (Westcot)
  • 7:Azure, a fret or (Willoughby)
  • 8:Orby
  • 9:Ufford
  • 10:Valoynes
  • 11:Le Blond
  • 12:Glanville
  • 13:Norwich
  • 14:Neville
  • 15:Stafford
  • 16:Maltravers

Pane 12

  • 1:Or, on a pile gules between six fleurs-de-lys azure three lions passant guardant or (Edward Seymour, 1st Duke of Somerset)
  • 2:Gules, two wings conjoined in lure or (Seymour)
  • 3:Vair (Beauchamp of Hache)

  • 5:Per bend argent and gules, three roses in bend counter-changed (Macwilliam)
  • 6:Argent, on a bend gules three leopard's faces or (Coker).

The whole (within the Garter, and surmounted by an Earl's Coronet) was borne by Edward Seymour, as Earl of Hertford, 1537; K.G., 1541; (Duke of Somerset and Protector, 1547). The coat is supported on the dexter side by a unicorn arg., maned, collared, and chained or. (the collar should be per pale az. and or J, and on the sinister side by a bull sa., ducally collared, chained, and attired or. On a nobleman's helm, is the crest, a phoenix rising out of a ducal coronet; and beneath the shield the motto, "a lamy fidele pour jamais".

Pane 13

Edward Courtenay, Earl of Devon (d.1566): Or, three torteaux

Pane 14

Phelipps impaling Argent, between two cotises gules two (?) fleurs-de-lys in bend or (Hacket (?))

The impaled coat is a piece of glaziers' patchwork ; the two fleurs- de-lys are quite independent of the glass in which they are set, and there is ample room for a third. This may be a reminiscence of an authentic coat ; or, in case of its being pure imagination, it is curious that it so closely approaches, arg., three fleurs-de-lys in bend, between two cotises gu., Hacket, co. Bucks ; and London ; and with, a crescent for difference, Sir Cuthbert Hacket, Lord Mayor of

London, 1626. In the panel beneath, the word, " Ierlande."
