Basic arms & blazon[edit]

Arms of Sir Richard Herbert (d.1510) of Ewyas, Herefordshire, an illegitimate son of William Herbert, 1st Earl of Pembroke (1423–1469), and Maud ap Howell Graunt, a daughter of Adam ap Howell Graunt (Gwynn). By his wife Margaret Cradock, heiress of Candlestone Castle in Glamorgan, he was the father of William Herbert, 1st Earl of Pembroke (1501–1570), who was created Earl of Pembroke (of the second creation) in 1551. The arms are Herbert (Per pale azure and gules, three lions rampant argent), differenced by a bordure componée gules bezantée and or. The differenced arms were borne by William Herbert, 1st Earl of Pembroke (1423–1469) and by his son Henry Herbert, 2nd Earl of Pembroke (c. 1539 – 1601), but the difference was dropped by later earls, who bore Herbert undifferenced.
