This page should not be speedy deleted as an unambiguous copyright infringement, because heraldic blazon is not normally treated as copyright infringement. In any case the majority of these men lived centuries ago and the texts of the patents by which the arms were granted (whether to these men specifically or to their agnatic forebears) would have lapsed into public domain by now. Indeed, a great many of them date from long before copyright law in Britain even existed. Robin S. Taylor (talk) 14:44, 6 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
