A design at top left shows a figure, possibly representing St George and the Dragon as the motif for the hat badge.[2] William Parr, 1st Marquess of Northampton (1513–71), was a leading courtier under Henry VIII, Edward VI, and Elizabeth I, though he was out of favour under Mary I, when the government stripped him of his titles and declared his marriage illegal. Parr rose to power as the younger brother of Katharine Parr, the sixth wife of Henry VIII. References ↑ K. T.
