Some Bourchiers Remembered in Canterbury Cathedral

Nearing the end of our tour of some of the heraldry contained in Canterbury Cathedral, we arrive at what I tend to think of (for reasons you will see in a moment) as the "Bourchier windows."

This windows have a background of badges: Bourchier knots (the badge of Bourchier) and oak branches (a badge of Thomas of Woodstock). You can see see these badges best in the larger photo of the central window, or by clicking on any of the images here to see a large version which will show them much more clearly.)

I believe that what appear to be white bordures on surrounding most of the shields are merely decorative.

In the left-hand windows, we have the arms of: Bourchier: Quarterly: 1 and 4, Argent a cross engrailed gules between four water-bougets sable (William Bourchier, 1st Count of Eu, 1374-1420); 2 and 3, Gules billetty or a fess argent (Louvain); impaled by Quarterly France modern and England, overall a label of three tags argent (Anne of Gloucester, daughter of Thomas of Woodstock, 1st Duke of Gloucester). (Anne was William's second wife; William was Anne’s third husband) ...

and  Bourchier: Quarterly: 1 and 4, Argent a cross engrailed gules between four water-bougets sable (Bourchier); 2 and 3, Gules billetty or a fess argent (Louvain).

In the central window, we find the arms of: Bourchier: Quarterly: 1 and 4, Argent a cross engrailed gules between four water-bougets sable (Bourchier); 2 and 3, Gules billetty or a fess argent (Louvain).

And in the right-hand windows, we have: Fulke Bourchier, 10th Baron FitzWarine (Fitzwarren), 1445-1479: Quarterly 1 and 4: Quarterly i and iv, Argent a cross engrailed gules between four water-bougets sable (Bourchier); ii and iii, Gules billetty or a fess argent (Louvain), overall a label azure flory or; 2 and 3, Quarterly i and ii, Quarterly indented fesswise argent and gules (Fitzwarine); ii and iii, Argent two bendlets wavy sable (Hankford) ...

and Humphrey Stafford, 1st Duke of Buckingham, 1402-1460: Quarterly France and England within a bordure argent, impaled by his wife Anne Neville, 1414-1480, daughter of Ralph Neville, 1st Earl of Westmoreland: Gules a saltire argent.
