Summary
[edit]_arms.svg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description | Arms of Morgan of Mapperton, Dorset: Argent, on a bend cotised sable a fleur-de-lys between two cinquefoils of the field on a chief azure a cross bottonée between two arrowheads points downward or. These arms as visible in Mapperton House and Mapperton Church, appear with a cross bottonée, not a cross patoncée as stated in various heraldic sources. John Hutchins, History of Dorset, Vol I, 1774, p.282, gives the chief as On a chief azure a cross flory between two corn flags (branches of gladiose (sic)) of three leaves or [1]. This is the common corn-flag which takes its Latin name, Gladiolus communis, from the way its sharply-pointed leaves resemble the old Roman sword known as a gladius. These are the arms of Morgan of Broadwinsor, Dorset, with an added chief, possibly an augmentation of honour. Such chiefs with three charges appeared frequently in grants of the time of King Henry VIII, for example the arms of Cardinal Thomas Wolsey, Archbishop of York. Morgan of Mapperton was descended from Morgan of Morgan Hayes (pedigree not given in Heraldic Visitation of Devon)) in the parish of Southleigh, near Colyton, Devon, whose arms are given identically in Pole, Sir William (d.1635), Collections Towards a Description of the County of Devon, Sir John-William de la Pole (ed.), London, 1791, pp.142,494, but with an undefined chief, Pole's original text lost) |
