Heraldry

Abstract

This book of English heraldry was completed ca. 1589. The manuscript belonged to the Spencer family, as known through inscriptions on the first few flyleaves, including the motto "Dieu defende Le Droit" (God defends the right). This motto has long been associated with the Spencer family of England, which is the family line of Princess Diana, as well as the Spencers who were among the founders of Virginia. The Spencer family's heraldry is included in the manuscript, along with the coats of arms of numerous prominent British families, including the Hasting, Gray, Beuford, and Percye families. A similar book of English heraldry in the British Library, Stowe MS 693, was also completed at the end of the sixteenth century.

The binding is not original. Initially rebound in the eighteenth-century (somewhat out of order); current binding created in England, in mid-twentieth century; red leather with gilded crest of the current English monarchy on the upper cover; tooled decoration with gilt lettering on spine: "BRITISH COATS OF ARMS."

Provenance

Likely created in England for William Spencer ca. 1589; his inscription on flyleaf iv: "William Spencer His Book;" manuscript stayed in Spencer family for some time, indicated by inscription on flyleaf v: "(?) Spencer 1633" accompanied by the Spencer family motto "Dieu defende Le Droit" (God defends the right) Inserted eighteenth-century paper fragment discussing similar manuscript is dated and possibly initialed "8 July 1779. WW.," suggesting possible eighteenth-century ownership Grotou and Grotou, Highland Park, FL, before 1994
