Fourteen Armorial Windows of a Single Pattern, Part 7 of 7

And now we come to the last three windows (an odd number, because one of my earlier posts required enough explanation that it only covered a single of these windows) in the Clerestory Nave in York Minster.

This window contains the arms of England (in the center, as has been usual for these windows), but the remaining arms are all those of different members of the Mauley family, making this window quite the family reunion.

Here we see, from left to right, the arms of: Edmund Mauley, Or on a bend sable three wyverns argent; John Mauley, Or on a bend sable three dolphins argent [these last look like horse’s heads to me, but what do I know?]; England, Gules three lions passant guardant in pale or; Robert Mauley, Or on a bend sable three eagles displayed argent; and Piers (Peter) Mauley, with the base Mauley arms, Or a bend sable.

Next up:

This window contains the arms, all of which we have seen elsewhere in the Minster, of:

From left to right: Vavasour, Or a dance sable; Clare, Or three chevrons gules; England, Gules three lions passant guardant in pale or; Percy (modern), Or a lion rampant azure; and, as in the last window (above), Mauley, Or a bend sable.

And finally,

In this window, we do not have the arms of England in the center, as in so many of the other windows in the Clerestory.

Instead, we have, from left to right: Hastings, Argent a maunch sable; Vavasour, Or a dance sable; Etton of Gilling, Barry of 14 argent and gules on a canton azure a cross flory or; the attributed arms of King Arthur, Azure three crowns or (Weir's A Guide to the Heraldry in York Minster says that this coat is the attributed coat of arms of King Edwin of Northumbria, but those arms are elsewhere given in the Minster as Gules three crowns or, so I am using the more common attribution of these arms in other sources); and finally, Lamplugh, Or a cross flory sable.

I hope that you have enjoyed our little romp through the Clerestory Nave windows in York Minster.

Next time, more heraldry from elsewhere in the cathedral!
