2 i. e. Pied-that is, the head was black, pied gold.

3 The Stanley badge has been called an Eagle's claw, in relation to the crest. 4 The part reticulated, and marked A, went on the head; B was a sort of plaited drapery, or veil, that half covered the face; and C was a lappet which hung down behind. When this hood was removed from the head, the end of the lappet, marked D, was tucked into the girdle, and the hood thrown over the shoulder; a practice both of I men and women, retained by the former in some state dresses as late as the time of James 1st, as the portraits of Lord Burleigh and his son sufficiently prove. For examples of the female hood of the period, see Strutt's Dresses and Habits, plates cvii, exvii, and cxxv.

1 Although assisted by the contemporary sketch in the text, it would be difficult to describe what a Gerbralle was, were it not for the painting of Lord Fitz Walter's standard, temp. Hen. VIII. in the MS. in the College of Arms, which has been referred to, and the description of it in a subsequent page, where he is said to have borne on his standard, an elbow gard; whence it appears that it was the armour for the elbow. The annexed wood-cut represents the manner in which it is drawn on Lord Fitz Walter's banner: the word "Jerey" was probably the motto of Sir John Radcliff.

2 Upon this word Archdeacon Nares has made the following remark:

[ocr errors]

"Bloncket, adj., Gray. Used by Spenser as an epithet for liveries or coats, and explained in the original notes, gray coats." I believe it meant at first whitish, for I find in Cole's Dictionary, a blanquet pear, Pyrum subalbidum.' If so, it is from the French blanc. Kersey also has blankers, white garments.

'Our blonket liveries bene all to sadde

For thilk same season, when all is ycladde
With plesaunce.'

I have not met with the word elsewhere."

Shep. Kal. May, v. 5.

1 This word, which is also written "gott," does not occur in either of the numerous glossaries which have been consulted. It probably meant a male buck.

The Crest of Blount is an armed leg in the Sun; but what is meant by "sapits" has not been ascertained.
