The Visitacion of Staffordschire . suit; cest a savoir, a ung demy Archier dhome darmes, arniedasur, tirant son arc, la flesche, la corde de Tare, la trouse des flesches,le pomeau et la croix de son espee, dor ; son sayon de gueules etdargent pale de six pieces, assis sur une torse dargent et de sable ; sicome la picture en la marge cydevant le demonstre. A avoir et tenir, & a, Londres le 12 jour de Juillet lan de nre Sr Jesu Christ 1523,et lan du regne le Roy Henry Chrystiesme 15. * From tho same source I have obtained a tracing of another Giffard Standard,also here represented. t In the Visitation the panthers head is represented couped, and it is so givenin Dugdales Visitation, 1663. At this last-named Visitation two crests are recorded,first the archer, second the panthers head,—the former apparently taking aim atthe latter. Of course there is a legend attached to these crests, which the curiousmay read in Burkes Anecdotes of the Aristocracy. t-Qjyi -wn. C£fyjVu$> Sc s£ejwo^ *u m) ,^ffo-^.
