- Summary:
- This book presents the heraldic visitations conducted in Yorkshire and Northumberland during 1575 by William Flower, Norroy King of Arms, and Robert Glover, Somerset Herald. It includes detailed genealogical pedigrees, shields of arms, and crests collected during these visitations, as well as additional materials from subsequent years, such as Glover's visitation of 1584/85. The work explores the evolution of heraldry, contrasting the simplicity of earlier armory with the more complex and quartered shields of the later period. It also provides annotations, blazons, and historical context for the families and individuals documented. Intended for scholars, historians, and genealogists, this publication is a critical resource for understanding the heraldic traditions of Northern England and the broader historical and social dynamics of the era. The book draws extensively from manuscripts housed in the British Museum, Queen's College, and the Bodleian Library. Generated by AI.
