Content Description | Thanks duke for his letter; provides some history of the Badges of Ogle, which he has discovered from the 'ancient MS' he mentioned in his last letter; writes that the badge of the 'Demi Rose Argent' was granted to Lord Ogle by King Edward IV; proves this by arguing that this badge was so entered with arms of Lord Ogle in Glover's 'Baronage' and also by the alliance of Robert, Lord Ogle, and Anne, daughter of Thomas Lumley Knight (son of Lord George Lumley) by Elizabeth Plantagenet, natural daughter of the King; reminds the duke that the white rose was the badge of the house of York, and the red was that of Lancaster; on account of these authorities, thinks the duke will agree on the entry of these arms into the Records of the College, based on the sketch he previously sent to the duke. |
