some Lancaster questions

Legg inn av Andrew and Inge » 31 mar 2007 21:13:15

Hello all,

1. I see many references in heraldry works to a family of Lancasters with a
coat of arms, in Richmond. I can find nothing else about them apart from the
fact that they have arms which seem similar to some of the arms recorded for
Lord John de Lancaster of Grisedale in the 1290s.

2. I only see one reference to the following, but he is equally mysterious:
Sir Thomas Lancaster:

J. Foster (1902) Some Feudal Coats of Arms from Heraldic Rolls 1298-1418.
pp.145-7. London

"bore at the siege of Calais 1345-8, two bars gules, on a canton of the
second a rose or - in the margin also - gules, a lyon rampant gardant or,
collared azure; Ashmole Roll."

Any know anything about either of these cases?

By the way in the last one I assume the margin is a red border around the
shield and the lion is superimposed over the whole shield, or do I have this
wrong?

Regards
Andrew Lancaster
