Note CR — AUBREY'S 'BRIEF LIVES' (continued 5)

In MS. Aubr. 8, fol. 80v, Aubrey drew the coat:—'argent, a chevron vert powdered with ermine spots of the first between 3 martletts sable,' but crossed it out with the note 'false.' On fol. 81 he gives a coat, as carved on the monument there described:—'or, a lion rampart within a bordure engrailed sable, a crescent for difference; impaling, gules, a fess verry between 3 (pheasants, I thinke) or'; and adds 'the lord Wells tempore <Henr. VII> gave this coate.'
