  1. Shouldn't Jehan de Neufchâtel, Seigneur of Montagu be Gules a bend sinister argent?

    1. No, it's a plain ol' "bend argent"; because the helmet atop the shield is facing to sinister, the shield is also. And every other depiction of these arms that I have been able to find (under a Google image search for "Jehan de Neufchâtel") show them as 'Gules a bend argent".

      It's one of those odd conventions of heraldry that sometimes tricks me, as well.
