Notes

Or, on a bend sable three ostrich feathers argent, each charged with a scroll argent. Roger de Clarendon, Lord of Roch and Pull, was an illegitimate son of Edward, the Black Prince of Wales, and bastard half-brother to King Richard II of England. After Richard was deposed, murdered, and usurped by his cousin, Henry Bolingbroke, Clarendon was attainted as a traitor on very dubious evidence and executed to remove him as a potential challenger for the throne. Richard II had apparently never felt a need to dispose of his half-brother in this manner: secure in the knowledge that he was king by right and lawful descent, he would have had nothing to fear from a bastard. Henry Bolinbroke, himself a usurper whose claim to the throne was based solely on having taken it by force, could not afford to keep around a man who might use the popular memory of his father to establish a claim on similar grounds.
