The Heraldry of Foreigners in England 1400-1700:
this major new work by Michael Powell Siddons, Wales Herald
Extraordinary, was published by the Harleian Society in June 2010.
It provides details of grants, confirmations and augmentations of
Arms recorded for foreigners during the period. In each entry is
given: a brief biography of the individual; the blazon;
transcriptions of the texts of any surviving grants; and notes of
other documentary sources. The recipients of these grants, which
were made by English sovereigns and Kings of Arms, include settlers
in England as well as visitors. The volume was launched by the
Harleian Society at the College of Arms on 16 June. The volume can
be purchased
here or by writing to the Honorary Secretary of the Society,
Timothy Duke, Chester Herald, at the College of Arms or
emailing.
Lectures by Richmond Herald:
Clive Cheesman has delivered the following recent
lectures: “The Crisis of Heraldry”: a lecture to the Oxford
University Heraldry Society, at the Taylorian Institute, Oxford, on
18 May 2010; “The Last Days of Heraldry” was the title of a lecture
given to
The Heraldry Society, at St George’s German Lutheran Church,
London, on 19 May 2010. Richmond also gave a general lecture on
heraldry to postgraduate students at the London College of
Communication, on 2 June 2010; and a lecture entitled “Naming the
descendants of slaves in Haiti” at Haitian Texts and Contexts, a
study day on 23 June 2010 at Oriel College, University of Oxford.
Two new documentary sources:
notes appeared in the Spring issue of The Coat of Arms,
journal of The Heraldry Society, relating to two interesting new
sources for the history of the seventeenth-century College of Arms.
A note by Dr Adrian Ailes describes the 1663 Hearth Tax return for
the College, and was mentioned in the December 2009 newsletter. The
other, by Peter O’Donoghue, Bluemantle Pursuivant, offers a
transcription of a set of instructions seemingly issued by the Kings
of Arms in 1634 for those about to go on visitation. It thus sheds
light on the motives and attitudes adopted by the heralds at that
time in relation to their key activity.
BLAKE:
an entry records six generations of the Blake family, headed by
William Greaves Blake of Ecclesall Bierlow, Yorkshire (died 1904).
College reference: Surrey 32/21.
COOKE
and
COOKE-YARBOROUGH: a
pedigree of ten generations has been placed on record, setting out a
descent from Sir George Cooke of Wheatley, near Doncaster, co. York,
who married in 1683 to Catherine. The pedigree shows a descent via
his eldest son Sir Bryan Cooke of Wheatley, baronet (died 1734), to
the present day. Also recorded is a descent via his second son,
George Cooke of Doncaster (died 1763), to the Cooke-Yarborough
family of Campsmount, co. York, and thence to the present day.
