Summary edit
| Description |
Heraldic arms attributed to St. Michael (the archangel) in a 15th-century (reign of Henry VI of England, ca. the end of the 1450s?) manuscript of "Aunciant Coates", ms. Harley 2169 from the Harleian collection of the British Library (sometimes also known as "Randle Holme's Book"). Caption at top: "Sent Myhell Armys" (St. Michael's Arms). The colors are heraldically "tricked" as aswre (azure=blue) and argent (white).[1] For the other text in the shield, see Shield of the Trinity. Reference: See the article "A Fifteenth Century Book of Arms (Illustrated)", in the journal The Ancestor, issue 3 (October 1902), p. 206. The blazon offered there is "Azure, with the device of the Trinity in silver". Also discussed on page 95 of The Heraldic Imagination by Rodney Dennys (1975). | ||
