In 1989, a person with the birth-name of Stephen Mowbray McDermott, whilst researching his family history, accidentally discovered the names of "STEPHEN" and "DERMOTT" en-Cyphered in the Garter and motto of the: Royal Arms of the United Kingdom. Royal Arms of Great Britain, contains a bulleted list of citations, representing a brief armorial reference history of Stephen Mowbray McDermott (29-06-1952): Combined with numerous historical references and images of this science of heraldry, to define the many; Cyphers in the Royal Arms.

DIEU ET MON DROIT
REF: Translations: DIEU ET MON DROIT: (Meanings): (1): God and my right: (2): God and my right hand: [7][8][9][10][11] (3): God and my lawful right: [12] (4): God and my right shall me defend: [13]The meaning of Dieu et mon droit is God and my right. However, according to “Kearsley’s Complete Peerage” (1799): Dieu et mon Droit meaning “God and my right hand” was the motto of King George III. Kearsley’s Peerage; printed June 1799, appeared during publication of the 1st Edition (1796-1808): of the German “Brockhaus Encyclopedia;” emphasizing the raising of the ‘Right Hand’ during installations and coronations of German Kings. Later interpretations quote Dieu et mon droit, stands for "God and my lawful right" and not "God and my right hand.":Heraldic Usage: DIEU ET -&- MON DROIT: Most depictions of the Royal Arms separate the DIEU ET from the MON DROIT: The DIEU ET is always depicted beneath the rear/bottom feet (paws: hooves: claws) of the dexter (right) Royal supporter i.e. The Lion or Boar. The MON DROIT is always depicted beneath the rear feet of the sinister Royal supporter i.e. The Greyhound, Dragon or Unicorn. The DIEU ET (on its own) is also listed among terminologies of giving an oath. [14] The MON DROIT (on its own) is further quoted in terminology meaning: " My right hand ":[15] The DROIT (on its own) is quoted as meaning in French; law; a legal title, claim or due.[16]:Royal Banners: DIEU ET MON –&- DROYT: (SEE: Royal Standard of England): (Banners: [17]): All Royal Standards separate the DIEU ET MON from the DROYT. As can be seen in the Banners of Edward III: Richard II: Edward IV: Henry V ( 2 ): Henry VII ( 2 ): NB: Under Cromwell, (Commonwealth) his motto separates PAX QUAERITUR from BELLO: NB: The Earl of Mar (Scotland) motto separates JE PENSE from PLUS: The "ET MON DROIT" contains the D:E:R:M:O:T:T cypher, as exemplified in: Talk:Dieu et mon droit and User talk:Stephen2nd/Sandbox (c)

 * Mr. Wimberley Heraldry Lecture: (Re: Peerage listing): Doncaster: December 11, 1841:


 * "His name, Romanized as it was in the days of Emperor Claudius is found on the pages of Tacitus: Arms: Lord Howden Caradoc, Caratacus. (NB: Howden in Newcastle): Its charge: The Dragon: is one of the most ancient of signs. It is carved on the corners of the Temple of Persepolis. Nothing is of so high account among the Chinese as representations of Dragons. Dragons were the Parthians’ ensigns, from whom the Romans in later times took them; and our Saxon ancestors from the Romans. It was also the device of the ancient British kings, as the lion was of the Norman Dukes. The chariot of the Ceridiven, the Ceres of the Druids, was drawn by dragons, creatures esteemed sacred by that ancient priesthood. Hence the beautiful lines of Gray, when celebrating the triumph of Owen, descended from Cadwallader, a name signifying supreme ruler of battle:


 * Dauntless on his native sands
 * The dragon- son of MON-a stands:
 * In glittering arms and glory drest,
 * High he rears his ruby crest.''


 * The three wheat-sheaves (Earl of Chester) represent abundance and hospitality: Three boars’ heads (McDermott ) the ancient roast beef of old England, is found on many shields of the old families of Anglia, Cambria, and Caledonia. In Scotland, it was sometimes surrounded by little banners, displaying the colours and achievements of the hospitable baron".


 * Caradoc Caratacus: (10 AD – 50 AD): (Pre-Iceni; Celtic Brigantes tribe): Reign C1st, to circa 50 AD: Born c. 10 AD ?: Died after c. 50 AD:


 * Arms: Party per pale chevron argent, on a chevron gules, between in chief two boars’ heads, and in base one boars’ head azure, three wheat-sheaves or: Motto: CARADOC in chief: TRADITUS NON VICTUS in base: (Betrayed not conquered):

 * Rockingham: Patent 12 James I.; illuminated patent: Indented Deed dated 1640ad: Patrimony of MacDermot lineage, including 389 quarters, extending over eight centuries: Last record: per se as “Driven from his ancient patrimony during Cromwellian Wars.”


 * Campbell - MacDiarmid: Malcolm of the clan went to Norman France where he married an heiress of the Beauchamp family and adopted that name. A son Archibald accompanied the Conqueror (1066) becoming founder to several English lines.''


 * 35 Hen. VIII, c. 1 (1544): Succession determined by last Will (1546) of Henry VIII. Settling the Crown of England upon his children, after extinction of her legitimate descendants, the succession "shall wholly remain and come to the next rightful heirs." Edward Seymour, Lord Beauchamp (b.1561), his 3 sons; 3 daughters and brother, were all named as successors to the English Crown and English Throne.


 * The “Beauchamp family” were again named successors after Elizabeth I, and James I.
