Picardy Arms
I don't suppose the grant made to Jehan Baret of Picardy was in fact the Picardy Coat of Arms itself? If it was, it might be worth inserting it into the article. GeeJo (t)⁄(c) &bull; 15:02, 6 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Geejo, I can find no evidence either way, but my gut instinct says that it was not. None of the sources that I've quoted in the article have anything to say about the arms actually granted. If you can find out more about them, then it would be great to add them. Otherwise, we'll have to keep looking.-- E va   d  b  12:03, 7 June 2006 (UTC)


 * I've added a link to an image of a grant of arms by Walter Bellinger, which is in the British library. Everything on the website is copyright of the British Library Board, so we can't add the image directly, unfortunately.The grant is to Thomas Barowe, clerk to the Duke of Gloucester. It's a bit hard to read, but I think the blazon starts at the end of the seventh line from the bottom and reads A scotcheon of sable a ? of [silver?] in his? kynd? a barr of gold in the chief two fleur de lys of the same (As an aside, it's interesting that this patent is addressed to gentlewomen as well as gentlemen!)

 * Great work, Doc. Thanks, too, for copy-editing some of my original text. Sometimes, I forget that not everyone knows as much about heraldry as I do. Thanks.-- E va   d  b  10:52, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Passing, but there is persistent, although small, use of the word "interesting" which could be rewritten. &mdash; Rob (  talk  ) 18:53, 16 June 2006 (UTC) Bold text
