Date of the Legend regarding the Peasant's Revolt
Although the article states that the legend connecting the sword on the coat of arms with the Peasant's Revolt is from the late seventeenth century, the legend is related in George Peele's 1593 play, The Life and Death of Jack Straw, one hundred years earlier. Do the sources cited claim that the legend started in the 16th or 17th century? --Bee King (talk) 04:17, 5 November 2016 (UTC)


 * The dagger is stated in the Holinshed Chronicle 1577 "Moreouer, the K. granted, that there ſhoulde be a dagger added to the armes of the citie of Lõ|don, in the right quarter of the ſhield, for an aug|mentation of the ſame armes, and for a remem|brance of this Maior, his valiãt acte, as doth ap|peare vnto this daye, for till that time, the Citie bare only the Croſſe, without the dagger". Where does The 17th of April date come from. Is it when the mayor who killed Watte Tyler was appointed?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.187.167.104 (talk) 01:01, 6 June 2018 (UTC)


 * Thank you. I have added the reference to Holinshed, and amended the wording of the text accordingly. 17 April is the date on which an order was given that the old City seal should be broken up (see here). I'm unsure if there is any irrefutable evidence for the first appearance of the new seal, but all the more reliable sources say that it was introduced well before the death of Tyler on 15 June.

simplified?

 * This logo used by the city is based on the arms but is simplified compared to the blazon.

The tinctures of the crest, mantling and supporters are altered, but "simplified" is an odd way to say that. —Tamfang (talk) 20:45, 22 April 2017 (UTC)
