Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ the martlets were a difference added to the original Burdet arms based on the fact that Robert's father, Hugh Burdet, was a third son, the difference for whom is a martlet.
  2. ^ which had passed to the Camvilles upon their marriage to Albreda, daughter of Geoffrey, Baron Marmion of Llanstephan
