Sir John II's Tabard

Tabard of Sir John II

Copied and painted by Henry Gray of Hatfield 2004 from the College of Arms ms I.16/26 of 1598. See also the crest and gryphon.

The 6 coats of arms are—from top left of the body of the tabard to top right, then bottom left to right:

  1. Broket—or a cross flory sable
  2. Neville—gules on a saltire argent a fleur de lys for difference azure
  3. Fauconberg—argent a lion rampant azure
  4. Broket—or on a pile azure a griffin passant of the field
  5. FitzSimon—gules three escutcheons argent
  6. Bensted—gules three bars gemel argent—his mother's family.

He was not technically entitled to the FitzSimon arms, nor the Neville arms, nor in an undifferenced form to the Fauconberg's.
