  14. @medieval_illuminations #TIL: the central arms (azure, a lion rampant argent) are those of Monhaut, a #Flintshire family:
    theheraldrysociety.com/article

    The arms of Clare are unmistakeable, & Baxter (1987) suggested other heraldic allusions to Berkeley & Bohun:

    This bestiary's dated to the 1240s, a time of turmoil. Marcher lords may have enjoyed dreaming of military surprise...

  15. An #Achillean #gay #PrideShield

    Bleu celeste upon a fesse Argent a cinquefoil inverted Vert surmounted by a cinquefoil of the same, pierced Or.

    The counterpart to yesterday’s Sapphic shield, based equally upon the Achillean flag, After much thought, and several attempts, I settled on this form for the carnation.

    #Carnations are little known in #heraldry and the few examples that I could find were, frankly, hideous.
