C.P.Addition: Joan Peverel, wife of John Engaine, 1st Lord E

Dear Newsgroup ~

Leafing through my copy of Birch's Catalogue of Seals this past week, I
noticed a seal for Joan Engayne, who Birch identifies as being for
Joan, widow of Sir John Engayne, of Blatherwick, Northamptonshire:

"6628. [13th Century]. Green: fine, imperfect. About 1-3/4 x 1-1/8
in. when perfect. [Add. ch. 21,545].
Pointed oval. In tightly-fitting dress, cloak, flat head-dress, in the
left hand a shield of arms. Standing on a corbel. Arms: eight
martlets, four, three, and one: the corresponding shield or other
object in the right hand is wanting. Legend: SIGILL' IOHANNE .......
Beaded borders."
[Reference: Walter de Gray Birch, Catalogue of Seals in the Departments
of Manuscripts in the British Museum, 2 Pt. 1 (1892): 383-384].

Assuming the seal is correctly dated, I presume it is for Joan de
Grenville, widow of Sir John Engaine (died 1297). However, as best I
can determine, the arms on her seal are neither for Engaine, nor for
Grenville.

Does anyone want to attempt to identify these arms?

Best always, Douglas Richardson, Salt Lake City, Utah
