Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Arms of the Danvers baronets of Swithland in Leicestershire: Argent, on a bend gules three martlets of the field (Genealogical and Heraldic History of the Extinct and Dormant Baronetcies, by John Burke, Bernard Burke, p.152[1]). These are a difference of the arms of Danvers (modern) adopted by John Danvers (died 1449) of Calthorpe, near Banbury, Oxfordshire, and of Prescote in the parish of Cropredy, Oxfordshire, who served four times as a Member of Parliament for Oxfordshire, in 1420, 1421, 1423 and 1435. They were his maternal arms of Brancestre, his mother being Agnes Brancestre, daughter and heiress of John Brancestre of Calthorpe. (MacNamara, p.87-8); A difference of Danvers modern/Brancestre was borne by the Danvers baronets of Swithlands (As blazoned by Burke, p.152) of which MacNamara (Preface X) states in his Memorials of the Danvers Family (1895): "The Danvers family of Leicestershire are only incidentally mentioned. I may, however, say that it seems probable that the Leicestershire family failed in the male line towards the middle of the fourteenth century, and that the recently extinct Danvers of Swithlands sprang from a younger branch of the Oxfordshire line". (MacNamara, F.N., Memorials of the Danvers Family, London, 1895[2])
