So most of the information here was taken from <i>A Guide to the Heraldry in York Minster</i> and supplemented with my own research in some of the general heraldry books in my personal library.<br /><br />Sir Henry Belasyse (Belassis), 1st Baronet (1555–1624) was an English politician.. He was the son of Sir William Bellasis (d.1604) of Newburgh Priory in Yorkshire. He married Ursula Fairfax, a daughter of Sir Thomas Fairfax of Denton, Yorkshire, by whom he had one son and at least one daughter. Their son, Thomas Belasyse, 1st Viscount Fauconberg, 1st Baron Fauconberg, 2nd Baronet (1577–1652), in 1627 was created Baron Fauconberg and in 1643 created Viscount Fauconberg "of Henknowle". Sir Henry died in 1624 and was buried at St. Saviour's Church, York.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuK2zqlGAA6xwxQ3hs0YM33nXh8risNoIuYvoMxd9lGqpVQOwHetlxAIcDJqYJhH7C5hg0qAA0ePQgIJPRv3Ok0Fcp8AHNM2wR5OaSWr4HlVpa41mOg4IRcyWFmVYWIrPXM3QFWrPaoo2Mbf6PqGMYulLORzwfZFkfqbHqG25fThqwckKMKeA9DXpM-Zs/s3872/DSC_2257.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2592" data-original-width="3872" height="268" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuK2zqlGAA6xwxQ3hs0YM33nXh8risNoIuYvoMxd9lGqpVQOwHetlxAIcDJqYJhH7C5hg0qAA0ePQgIJPRv3Ok0Fcp8AHNM2wR5OaSWr4HlVpa41mOg4IRcyWFmVYWIrPXM3QFWrPaoo2Mbf6PqGMYulLORzwfZFkfqbHqG25fThqwckKMKeA9DXpM-Zs/w400-h268/DSC_2257.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />At the top of the monument we find the full achievement of Sir Henry's arms.* <i>Quarterly of seven: 1, Quarterly: i and iv, Argent a chevron gules between three fleurs-de-lis azure (Belasyse); ii and iii, Argent a pale engrailed cotised plain sable (Belassis [Papworth says “Belassis, Scotland]); 2, Or a fess gules between three torteaux (semi-mythical Elgiva of Belassis); 3, Argent an escutcheon between six martlets sable (le Spring); 4, Argent three boar’s heads couped close within a bordure engrailed sable (Bernard); 5, Argent three bars on a canton gules a lion passant argent (Bellingham); 6, Argent two bars and in chief three fleurs-de-lis azure (Errington); 7, Argent a chevron gules between three fleurs-de-lis azure (Belassis)</i>.

The <i>Guide</i> also gives us the names of his two wives, Ellen Lant and Margaret Wentworth, notes that only his second wife is commemorated on the monument, and then briefly reviews the heraldic shields there. And the information ends there.</div><div><br /></div><div>The two volumes entitled <i>The Heraldry of York Minster</i> published back in 1890 and 1896 by Arthur Perceval Purey-Cust, whose arms appear in the Cathedral and which we have looked at recently, say <u>nothing</u> about the Swinburne monument.</div><div><br /></div><div>Wikipedia, at <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Swinburne_(lawyer)">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Swinburne_(lawyer)</a>, gives us a little more information about Dr. Swinburne, but leaves us on our own regarding the heraldry on his monument.</div><div><br /></div><div>So now we are left pretty much to our own devices in trying to decipher the heraldry here.

And one of the features of these formal dinners is the oppoturnity to bring your own "table shield" or "table banner" to mark the place where you are sitting.<br /><br /><div>So some years ago I created a table banner of my own arms. Nothing too fancy; I mean, I printed the cardstock "banner" on my laser printed, and went to the local hobby/crafts store to get the materials to make the banner pole and stand.</div><div><br /></div><div>And the results weren't too awful, if I do say so myself.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmik_nkhyjtrFATE3V76SwSE064DDBfYVeA7EFbxjQgJ2DvXTDhQJIlroIbRcqMEyTzWNqTglOdRHIhqN_RrSE4rC1sMaVgj4cJAmacOvYoKapl-vsK-JdKDvAH5pJXpHTxXEQWV5c4Mh2ivpruIImD2gIq1A2CYp0hOCqeDPURYvUYj6UZxC6zYuJesI/s4032/IMG_0010.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmik_nkhyjtrFATE3V76SwSE064DDBfYVeA7EFbxjQgJ2DvXTDhQJIlroIbRcqMEyTzWNqTglOdRHIhqN_RrSE4rC1sMaVgj4cJAmacOvYoKapl-vsK-JdKDvAH5pJXpHTxXEQWV5c4Mh2ivpruIImD2gIq1A2CYp0hOCqeDPURYvUYj6UZxC6zYuJesI/w300-h400/IMG_0010.JPG" width="300" /></a></div><br /><div>The "banner" wraps around (and is glued to) the pole, and so the arms show on both sides (just like on a real banner!). The pole has a round finial at the top, and slips into a hole drilled into the star (technically, I suppose, a "Lone Star", but then, I <u>do</u> live in Texas) that is glued to the round base. So it comes apart into two pieces for travelling, and I created a cardboard protective case for the banner itself, to help keep it from bending.</div><div><br /></div><div>But I've had the urge to get something a little more professionally done, and finally decided it was time to do so.</div><div><br /></div><div>So I contacted one of the members of the Royal Heraldry Society of Canada who creates table shields (<a href="https://www.stevecowan.ca/">https://www.stevecowan.ca/</a>), and together we went through the consultation and design phases, and very shortly, just a few days ago, I received my new table shield in the mail.</div><div><br /></div><div>It has my coat of arms (<i>Argent two chevronels azure between three apples gules slipped and leaved proper</i>) on one side,</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGqeadZQomNEe7r1FDWDBbvyf8G8LPCK-nz8uejV72MQhfjOEhEwinVf0Vncxni26_sFq8Ty5OojaQVRJlGKj9meiTLRbuekEG_HkXnLaJIfBocdrRGMC2a8LMy4XxRdRSky1w_-KuTkRpMLcE_RYp-8dEV1k64R52ZOCO2_YPjLqfA6Ii8teBaZsHRzc/s5531/IMG_0008.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5531" data-original-width="4149" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGqeadZQomNEe7r1FDWDBbvyf8G8LPCK-nz8uejV72MQhfjOEhEwinVf0Vncxni26_sFq8Ty5OojaQVRJlGKj9meiTLRbuekEG_HkXnLaJIfBocdrRGMC2a8LMy4XxRdRSky1w_-KuTkRpMLcE_RYp-8dEV1k64R52ZOCO2_YPjLqfA6Ii8teBaZsHRzc/w300-h400/IMG_0008.JPG" width="300" /></a></div><br /><div>and my crest (<i>An apple tree proper fructed gules</i>) on the other side:</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_UqqOMmQoKCb5EFXzTS-4FkG_oYk_uq-FzudG6-wKLDTNIXlPvulWRu6U-wdGBOffT7rawcmxjQYBog-O6-93LZVEzZyg_rJELGSrT8ajvFh6rjT_w5gkPnrqbaS1zNdKlbObygmVsCedPM2kI76FwWq6wlGQQUtI2AsaBgnkUBapciMhR0D6ilL7GMQ/s5712/IMG_0009.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5712" data-original-width="4284" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_UqqOMmQoKCb5EFXzTS-4FkG_oYk_uq-FzudG6-wKLDTNIXlPvulWRu6U-wdGBOffT7rawcmxjQYBog-O6-93LZVEzZyg_rJELGSrT8ajvFh6rjT_w5gkPnrqbaS1zNdKlbObygmVsCedPM2kI76FwWq6wlGQQUtI2AsaBgnkUBapciMhR0D6ilL7GMQ/w300-h400/IMG_0009.JPG" width="300" /></a></div><br /><div>Mr. Cowan decided to have a little fun with the crest; you'll note that one of the apples has fallen from the tree and is partially hiding behind the torse.

Even then, though, in several cases, the arms could represent more than one individual; a father or his son, or one of two (or more) brothers. I have tried in these instances to make my best guess, or to include the individuals who are the likeliest candidates.</div><div><br /></div></div>David B.

One source says that “The crests [sic] above the aisle arches represent the coats of arms of the nobles who assisted Edward I in his Scottish incursions” (<a href="https://www.fmschmitt.com/travels/England/york/YorkMinster/target15.html">https://www.fmschmitt.com/travels/England/york/YorkMinster/target15.html</a>); another says that "The shields that line the walls are those of the nobles who accompanied Edward I and II on their campaigns against the Scots" (<a href="https://www.timetravel-britain.com/articles/churches/minster.shtml">https://www.timetravel-britain.com/articles/churches/minster.shtml</a>); while another says that they "commemorate patrons, donors and benefactors of the Minster." (<i>A Guide to the Heraldry in York Minster</i>)<br /><br />Any of those descriptions may be true for the majority of these coats of arms, but the two you see first when entering the Minster are neither of nobles who took part in Longshanks Scots campaigns nor "patrons, donors and benefactors" of the cathedral.<div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirJKxE53Xkk6skc8cIcceOzIN-Hf7DeOjhQnqtoJ_W43sPmDZgIMLv8rsy67StMM8pYsjJlmkrb8O2QtgRFEdX6aMvmCQB0HrPGXMIQT5BwFH7I5R5P3kKf38g5xC3zCvC6WubR1slfBWpyrBHO9RMk1Kg5snm1-qSIib0548IUjGmxCebsndyTgFOerM/s3872/DSC_1920.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3872" data-original-width="2592" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirJKxE53Xkk6skc8cIcceOzIN-Hf7DeOjhQnqtoJ_W43sPmDZgIMLv8rsy67StMM8pYsjJlmkrb8O2QtgRFEdX6aMvmCQB0HrPGXMIQT5BwFH7I5R5P3kKf38g5xC3zCvC6WubR1slfBWpyrBHO9RMk1Kg5snm1-qSIib0548IUjGmxCebsndyTgFOerM/w428-h640/DSC_1920.JPG" width="428" /></a></div><div><br /></div>These two shields are, in fact, the arms of the See of York (ancient),* <i>Azure an episcopal staff palewise or surmounted by a pall argent edged and fringed or charged with four crosses patty sable</i>; and the attributed arms of St. Wilfrid, Bishop of York 664-678, <i>Azure three suns or</i>, which we have seen before in our perambulations around the old city of York and, indeed, carved on the exterior of the Minster itself.<div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwrgK9uwzJwQN-hT0wdD5ZffE03PcnIms1TRqG8B5D9jiOJv6CTLS6g2UL7vhG8GnX0nN-9AvfNHLfWRHDU8BTE18iEh4-faT8osp9JQxrXDxNYI04UGWx-h94FlaRYCoqz4DaVTxacXiRWZnMb5sQ8DkaXf0UABo6i-0kPRx8JZ6nHmGqQ8-83sjjSqk/s3872/DSC_1922.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2592" data-original-width="3872" height="268" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwrgK9uwzJwQN-hT0wdD5ZffE03PcnIms1TRqG8B5D9jiOJv6CTLS6g2UL7vhG8GnX0nN-9AvfNHLfWRHDU8BTE18iEh4-faT8osp9JQxrXDxNYI04UGWx-h94FlaRYCoqz4DaVTxacXiRWZnMb5sQ8DkaXf0UABo6i-0kPRx8JZ6nHmGqQ8-83sjjSqk/w400-h268/DSC_1922.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div>Please feel free to click on either (or both!) of the images above to go to larger photographs which will let you see these arms in their carved and painted glory in greater detail.</div></div><div><br /></div><div>Next time, we'll begin looking at the great stone shields of nobles, patrons, donors, and benefactors gracing the archways inside York Minster.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>* We have already seen, and will see again, the arms of the See of York (modern), <i>Gules two keys in saltire wards to chief argent in chief a Royal crown or</i>.</div><div><br /></div>David B.

And even before I got close enough to make it out in detail (or to take the photograph below), and even though the arms are in monochrome here, I thought to myself, "That's the arms of FC Barcelona."
