GenealogyBased on the inscription the ancestry of Sir Roger L'Estrange (c.1446-1506) is as follows:
In 1629 Nicholas L'Estrange of Hunstanton was created a baronet (see w:L'Estrange baronets), and dropped the bend for difference in his arms, reverting to the undifferenced arms of the senior line. (per Blomfield) General notes |
