Menestrier derives the chain, called in Navarre una varra or na varra, from the name of the kingdom {Origine des dxx Journal des S^avans). Planche says of the trellis of chains : It superseded the silvercross upon blue, about 1200. Sir David Lindsay gives as the arms of Navern what may beblazoned: Or, an escarbuncle of eight rays iiory and as many pointedgules, thus reversing the tinctures (18).
