Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Arms of Lovain (alias de Louvain, Lovayne, etc.), feudal barons of Little Easton, Essex: Gules billety or, a fess of argent. Various depictions show a fess or. However, of the surviving ancient depictions, perhaps the most convincing is the

Garter stall plates in St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle, of Henry Bourchier, 2nd Earl of Essex, 3rd Count of Eu (1468-1540), where white enamel is used in the champ-levée enamel of the fess.File:GarterPlateHenryBourchier2ndEarlOfEssex.png. Also in the ancient stained glass window in Tawstock Church, Devon, white glass has been used. Other stall plates of Bourchier KG's show the fess simply left as the brass field, with no enamel added, thus indicating a fess or.


Fesses or are visible on the garter stall plates in St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle, of Henry Bourchier, 1st Earl of Essex (1404-1483) KG, and of his brother John Bourchier, Baron Berners (1415-1474) KG. The Garter stall plate of his grandson Henry Bourchier, 2nd earl of Essex (1468-1539) KG however shows a fess argent not or. The arms of Lovain are visible sculpted in Little Easton parish Church, also on the Tudor gatehouse of Tawstock Court, North Devon, a later seat of the Bourchiers, Earls of Bath
