Miscellaneous Coat of Arms

November 2010




Sir Rauf Langton

These are recorded as his arms but we dont know where he was from.


Another shield attributed to Raulf Langton (the same one we do not know) is this (temp. Edward III: Note: gules an orle argent, a bend sable. Note, the picture should also display a bend sable, but does not. Also ignore the helmet and decoration)


These arms were recorded for John De Langton, temp. Edward III: per pale or and vert. A cross reccrelee (moline, in trick) gules, over all a baston sable.

Clearly related to Ralph Langtons arms above.



Bishop John Langton of St Davids

These are recorded as his arms but we dont know where he was from. One shield strongly suggests Lincolnshire origin, however the other shields use of a chevron and the colour red, points more to Lancashire.

DNA and Shield Linking

We hope to be able to link the various Y chromosome DNA results to coats of arms, so that you can use your DNA test results to identify which coat of arms are yours! We do need your help with this though, we need your DNA results, check out the DNA articles here.
