Rynars de Archiat

450 Ythier de Menac

telles [de gueulles a deux peulz vairiez au chef dor] au label dasur

Gules two pallets vair a chief or a label azure

Ythier de Menac

There would appear to be a relationship between these two coats.

451 Aubert le Senneschaul

Or a chief gules two pallets vair

Aubert le Senneschaul

452 Guy de Rochefort

Or semy of escallops azure a lion passant gules chargent on the shoulder with a fleur de lis argent

Bruiene de la Jaille

There would appear to be a relationship between these two coats.

455 Bernard de la Freste

dor a ij lions de sable passant couronnez dargent

Or two lions passant gardant sable crowned argent

Bernard IV le Jeune de La Ferte

This entry in VE is a duplicate of No 544 in the section on Manseaux.

The same arms are borne in BA 18, where Bernard is known as Le Jeune.

The same name appears in WN 505, where the blazon is d'or à deux lions passants de sable

tellez [dor a ij lions de sable passant couronnez dargent] a j baston de gueules a une mollecte dargent v baston

Or two lions passant gardant sable crowned argent overall on a bendlet gules a mullet of the third

Or a lion rampant azure crowned gules in dexter chief an escutcheon barry of ten argent and sable a lion rampant gules

Guillaume de Saint Vincent

The escutcheon, which usually appears in this way as a sign of feudal obligation, does not appear separately in the database

458 Alain de Montendre

de gueules a j lion dor trevele dor

Gules a lion rampant or

Alain de Montendre

trevele appears as crenele, maned, in Copy D of VE; since the tinctures are the same, it is irrelevant.
See also the following coat which is also trevele

459 Pierre de la Roche

de gueules a j lion dargent trevele dargent

Gules a lion rampant argent

Pierre de la Roche

460 Arnoul d Auybleville

Or on a cross gules between sixteen alerions azure five escallops argent

Guy VIII de Montmorency-Laval, died 1295.

These arms are also found in BA 16, CP 36 and WN 936.

Jean de Montmorency, Sire de Roissy, bears or a cross gules between sixteen alerions azure in C111 and CP 10.
Mathieu III de Montmorency, died 1270, bears the same arms at WN 7.

Bouchart de Montmorency, Seigneur de Saint Leu, bears these arms at WN 8, but is not named in WN 587.
One of the eagles is hidden by the canton, which is indicated in the French blazon. The arms are similar to those of Montmorency which has four eagles displayed. It is quite possible that there has been confusion between the drawing of alerions and eagles.

Although the person, above, has not been indentified, the arms of Bouchart de Marly, below, are very similar.

Bouchard de Marly, at CP 13.
These are the arms of Montmorency, earlier than those coats with sixteen alerions. The legend is that the extra alerions were added after the Battle of Bouvines, 1214, when Mathieu II captured twelve enemy banners.
Mathieu II de Marly bears these arms, however, in WN 148

Guillaume de Montmorency-Laval bears these arms in WN 1019.
He was the younger brother of VE 464, above.

Vert a cross or in chief an escutcheon gules a lion rampant ermine in the first quarter a sword in pale argent

Thouars

There appears to be a relationship btween the two coats above. The connection to Thouars seems more difficult, although Hugues de Thouars bears the sword in very different arms below.

469 Hugues de Thouars

dor a fleurs de lis dasur a j quartier de gueules

Azure semy de lis or a canton gules

Hugues de Thouars Vicomte de Thouars

Azure a saltire argent between four mullets or pierced gules

Geoffroi d'Averton, in CP 129 bears d'asur a un sautoir d'argent et a quatre estancelles d'or

estancelle, sometimes tencell, is cognate with MF étincelle, spark

Guillaume d'Averton, in BA 15 and WN 504, bears d'azur au sautoir d'argent cantonne de quatre etoiles d'or [WN blazon].

The difference between mullets and estoiles at this period is not significant, although in WN mullets are always drawn as estoiles of six points.

473 Alain de Montauban

de gueules a faussez lozenges dor au label dargent

Gules seven mascles conjoined or a label of four points argent

Alain de Montauban. Also in WN 928, where he is not named.

476 Aymeris de Loudon

bende des armes de la Marche et de gueules a molectes dor es bendes de gueules

Barry of twelve argent and gules with mullets or on the bars gules

Aymeris de Loudon

These arms are difficult. Without knowing if the interpretaion is accurate I have changed the tinctures of Marche and added the mullets. For the arms of Marche, see No 460, above.

477 Hugues derpalle

esquartele dor et de gueules a j lionchel dor et de gueules v quartier

Quarterly or and gules in the first quarter a lion rampant of the last

Hugues des Paille

The blazon in VE must be an error.

de gueules a iij chabot dor

Gules three chub hauriant or

Solbrans Cabraus

488 Le Conte de Pierregot

dor a ij lions de gueules passant couronnes dargent

Or two lions passant gules crowned argent

Le Conte de Pierregot

The traditional arms of Perigord are gules three lions rampant or crowned azure, as they appear in BA 7, but it is tempting to think that there is a connection with Pierregot. But see No 490, below, where there is no obvious connection.

489 Esteulle Trenchelyon de Pierre la Buffiere

de gueulles a j lion dargent rampant couronne dor a le langue dor a une manche de vair en la gueulle du lion a une espee dasur au poing dor au heur dor qui trenche le lion parmy

These arms alo appear in BA 47.
