The Visitacion of Staffordschire . quitu auratoru de com Stafford qui cum Ed. I., rege, stipendia merebant in Scotia et alibi.* Sr Robert de John de Hastange. Azure, a chief gules, over all a lion rampant same arms, with a label argent. * These shields of the Knights of Estaffordeschire were taken from anancient Roll, the original of which is still preserved among the Cotton Mann-scripts in the British Museum. It is headed Ces sunt les Noms c les Armes aBanerez de Engleterre, and contains the arms of the said knights blazoned inFrench and arranged under counties. Sir Harris Nicolas, under whose able editor-ship the entire Roll was published in 1829, dates it between the second and seventhyears of Edward II. This, he says, is manifest from internal evidence, and thehandwriting is undoubtedly of that age. The same Roll had been previouslyprinted by Sir Francis Pal grave in the volume of Parliamentary Writs edited by PLATE 1. *pitu wnratamte dim jptafforb gttimm (Jo:j:i^^i#*uiiam*t$mtit iuj^ XiajShinge, lia^ittn^t.
