Book excerpt: Excerpt from Scottish Arms, Vol. 2: Being a Collection of Armorial Bearings, A. D. 1370-1678, Reproduced in Facsimile From Contemporary Manuscripts, With Heraldic and Genealogical Notes Arms Of The King Of Scotland shewn to be David II. by the Bruce coat on the cappiline; in this and other instances the herald has omitted the colour on the field external to the tressure, from which it would seem that the foreign herald considered it to be a bordure flory. The lion rampant and double tressure flory appear on the seal of Alexander II. On a seal of Alexander III., 1265, there is a crown showing four leaves like the strawberry leaf. John Baliol, in 1292, used two shields; the dexter has the orle his paternal bearing, the sinister a lion rampant. Edward Baliol, c. 1350, places the shield of Scotland, again without the tressure, on the dexter, and Baliol on the sinister side. The orle was used by Hugh de Baliol, who died before 1228; on the seal of his father Eustace, c. 1190, is a shield charged with an escarbuncle. Glover's Roll gives the arms of John de Baliol gules, an orle argent; and of his son Hugh, who adds for his mother, the lady of Galloway, in the corner an escutcheon azure charged with a lion rampant argent crowned or. Eustace, according to the same authority, bore azure, crusilly an orle or; he was son of the elder Eustace. Charles's Roll gives Alexander gules, an orle argent, also argent, an orle gules; Ingram gules, an orle ermine; and William or, an orle azure, a label of five points gules. At the siege of Caerlaverock in 1300, Alexander de Baliol, brother of King John, bore argent, an orle gules. The existing family of the Marquis de Bailleul, in Normandy, claim community of origin with the Baliols of England and Scotland, but do not appear to be able to trace their ancestry beyond the year 1370; they bear, parted per pale ermine and gules. The tressure appears on the seal used by the national party in Scotland after 1296. Arms of David II. are here represented; a seal of his Queen, Margaret Logie or rather Drummond, shows two lions as the supporters of Scotland, 1372. Robert II. used as crest a lion statant gardant: his Queen, Euphemia Ross, in 1375, places two lions on her seal as supporters. James I. and James II. have lions gardant as supporters; in 1439 the unicorn, as a supporter on a seal, appears for the first time on that of Queen Joan Beaufort, but there is reason to believe that an example of two unicorns as supporters, not later than the reign of Robert III., is the stone with the royal arms at Rothesay Castle. Two unicorns without collars or chains are the supporters of James, Archbishop of St Andrews, Duke of Ross, son of James III., in 1500.
