Blason repris par les seigneurs de La Chesnée, du Taillis, de Beauregard Etc

.



.

La ferme des Taillis, situé non loin de l'église d'Alleaume, appartenait initialement à la famille Rouxel, qui est attestée comme noble à Valognes à la fin du XVIe siècle. Elle s'est ensuite transmise aux Fortescu, très vieille famille du Cotentin, dont les armes (d'argent à trois bandes d'azur), coiffées d'un cimier empanaché, sont visibles au dessus du portail ouvrant sur la cour. Tanneguy Fortescu, fils de Nicolas Fortescu et d’Anne le Jay, né vers 1639, portait en 1661 le titre de « sieur du Taillis ». Il rendit aveu au roi de ses terres de Valognes en 1675. Après sa mort, le domaine du Taillis revint à son fils aîné, Jacques-Joseph, né le 24 janvier 1669 à Alleaume, qui portait le titre d’écuyer et de sieur du Taillis. Il épousa en 1695 demoiselle Catherine Touraine, qui mourut le 14 novembre 1729 à Alleaume. Le 12 mars 1731 il épousait en deuxième noce demoiselle Madeleine Antoinette Piquod, de 25 ans sa cadette, fille de Charles Piquod, écuyer, seigneur et patron de Ste-Honorine, Brillevast, Boutron et autres terres et seigneuries. Il semble que Jacques Joseph de Fortescu n'ait pas eu d'enfants de ces deux mariages légitimes. Il décéda à Alleaume le 18 février 1745. Le titre de sieur du Taillis ne fut plus repris après.

A History of the Family of Fortescue in all its Branches - P172

"… A rather remarkable relic of Sir Faithful's occupation of his Antrim eftate came to light fome years ago, namely, an ancient feal of arms, as shown in the annexed woodcut, with the words " S. Richart Fortefcu." It was found either upon or clofe to the former Fortefcue property. The arms are thofe of the Norman Fortefcues, viz., a bend, not engrailed, between two bendlets, quartering the arms of the Englifh Fortefcues, where the bend is engrailed. This coat implies a marriage-alliance between one of the Norman and one of the Englifh houfes. The feal has been pronounced by experts to be French of the fourteenth or fifteenth century…"

The Halswell Armorial – Halswell Park

SEPTEMBER 28, 2018 BY ROY BOLTON
The Halswell Armorial

Above the main door on the Baroque Wing at Halswell House is an elaborately quartered coat of arms which no visitor can fail to miss.

Carved and painted at the completion of this part of the house in 1689, a date stone sits just above the pediment, it commemorates not only the building of this grand part of the house but also the owners who made it possible; Sir Halswell Tynte (1649-1702) and Grace Fortescue (c. 1622-1694) who married in 1671.

The left side of the quartering records the Tynte (Halswell) family and the right side records the Fortescue’s and their forebears.

LEFT to RIGHT, TOP to BOTTOM
Tynte, Halswell, Fortescue, Densell
Gatcombe, Tremayle, Trivett, de Waere (Trewin), de Filleigh,
Farway, Speke, Unknown, Unknown

One of the legends that surround the family who lived at Halswell is that of the first Tynte who, as a young knight of the Arundel Family, is said to have gone on the Third Crusade with King Richard the Lionheart. He was singled out for his bravery at the 1192 battle of Ascalon. The King observing him is supposed to have said:
“ .. the maiden knight had borne himself like a lion, and had done work enough for six crusaders“
For which service to the Christian cause the King is said to have conferred on the young Knight his armorial bearings (Heraldic device), a lion argent on a field of gold between six crosslets of the first and the motto Tynctus Cruore Saraceno (“tinged with Saracen blood”).
The red hand of a small white shield in the upper right corner of the Tynte arm is the heraldic emblem of a baronet, the Tynte baronetcy, which existed from 1674-1785.

The heraldic descriptions of the arms of each family

Tynte: Gules, a lion couchant between six cross crosslets argent
Halswell: azure, three bars wavy argent over all a bend gules
Fortescue: Azure, a bend engrailed argent cottised or
Densell: Sable, a mullet in chief and a crescent in base argent
Gatcombe: Gules, three goats’ heads erased argent
Tremayle: A fess between three brogues
Trivett: Argent, a round trivet sable within a bordure sable
de Waere (Trewin): Argent, on a bend vert between six crosses crosslet fitchee gules three crozierheads or
De Filleigh: Gules, a fess vairee between 6 crosses formee or
Farway of Penhallam: Sable, a chevron between three escallops argent
Speke: Argent, two bars azure over all an eagle with two heads displayed gules.

At the time of writing we are yet to discover the identities of the last two coats of arms from the Fortescue side of these quartered arms. If there are any Fortescue family history specialists who might know the answer do please get in touch!

Fortescue family heraldic panel from Weare Giffard Hall, Devon, now in Simonsbath House, Exmoor, both former residences of the Fortescue family . It may be dated c.1550 based on the persons represented, the Renaissance elements of portrait quasi-medallions, the grotto-esque decoration and the shape of the shields. Shields from L to R: First shield: Arms of w:Francis Russell, 2nd Earl of Bedford (1527–1585), Lord Lieutenant of Devon, of Bedford House, Exeter and of Chenies in Buckinghamshire (the arms of Sapcote, his mother are quartered) (see: Middlesex Heraldry Society - Chenies (Bedford Chapel); HERALDRY of the BEDFORD CHAPEL CHENIES www.middlesex-heraldry.org.uk ) Quarterly of 7: 1st grand quarter: 1 and 4, Argent, a lion rampant gules on a chief sable three escallops of the first (Russell); 2 and 3: Azure, a tower argent (de la Tour); 2: Or, three bars gules (Muschamp) 3: Gules, three herrings hauriant argent (Herringham) 4: Should be: Sable, a griffin segreant between three cross-crosslets fitchy argent (Froxmere), tinctures shown incorrectly here. 5: Sable, three chevronels ermine with a crescent for difference (Wyse) 6: Sable, three dovecotes argent (Sapcote) 7: Argent, on a cross gules five mullets or (Semark, an heiress of Sapcote. Anne Semark was the heiress of her aunt Dame Agnes Cheney, from whom she inherited the estate of Chenies in Buckinghamshire, later the seat of the Russell Earls of Bedford. Anne Semark married Sir William Sapcote of Elton Hall, Huntingdonshire, and was the mother of Sir Guy Sapcote, whose daughter and heiress Anne Sapcote married John Russell, 1st Earl of Bedford. (G. E. Cokayne, The Complete Peerage, n.s., Vol.2, p.75)) (written above this first shield is "Some of the coats in this shield appear also in 30 on the west wall of Wear Giffard Hall"). Many of these arms are visible on the monument in Tawstock Church to William Bourchier, 3rd Earl of Bath (1557-1623) and his wife Lady Elizabeth Russell, daughter of Francis Russell, 2nd Earl of Bedford, Lord Lieutenant of Devon; Second shield from L: quarters: 1&4, Pollard of King's Nympton; 2&3, Pollard of Way or Horwood or Westcote. Probably for Sir Lewis II Pollard of King's Nympton, Devon, sergeant-at-law, or of his son Sir Hugh II Pollard of King's Nympton, Devon, who in his youth, following his father's death, had been a ward of Sir John Chichester (1519/20-1569) of Raleigh (arms at far right, shield 4) and to whose daughter Dorothy Chichester he had been married. (Source: Vivian, Lt.Col. J.L., (Ed.) The Visitations of the County of Devon: Comprising the Heralds' Visitations of 1531, 1564 & 1620, Exeter, 1895, p.598, pedigree of Pollard) Third shield from L: the arms of Richard Fortescue(d.1571) of Filleigh, impaling the arms of his wife: baron, Fortescue; femme, quarters 1&4, Morton of Kent, 2&3, Hagget of Kent.

This represents the marriage of Sir John Chichester (1519/20-1569) of Raleigh in the parish of Pilton, near Barnstaple in North Devon, a leading member of the Devonshire gentry, a naval captain, and ardent Protestant who served as Sheriff of Devon in 1550-1551, and as Knight of the Shire for Devon in 1547, April 1554, and 1563, and as Member of Parliament for Barnstaple in 1559, whose large monument survives in Pilton Church. He married Gertrude Courtenay, a daughter of Sir William III Courtenay (1477–1535) "The Great", of Powderham, Devon, MP for Devon in 1529, thrice Sheriff of Devon, in 1522, 1525-6, 1533-4, an Esquire of the Body to King Henry VIII, whom he accompanied to the w:Field of the Cloth of Gold.

Drawing of monument in Ebrington Church, Gloucestershire, of Sir John Fortescue (c.1394-1479), Chief Justice of the King's Bench. See colour photos[1]. Following description from Clermont, Lord (d.1887), History of the Family of Fortescue in all its Branches, London, 1880, pp.91-94[2]

"He was buried in the parish church, near the communion table on the north side, where his tomb still remains. The following is copied from notes taken by the author on the spot on the 8th of August, 1863. The church is not in itfelf remarkable, nor, except where a good Norman arch remains, near the tower, inside, can it be as old as the Chancellor's time. His monument is against the north wall inside the communion rails. It consists, first, of a large mural tablet, put up in 1677 by Colonel Robert Fortescue, the then owner of the family property, surmounted by the Fortescue arms, bearing the following inscription:

In Felicem et immortalem memoriam Clarissimi Viri Domini JOHANNIS FORTESCUTI Militis Granda;vi Anglic Judicis Primarii Et processu temporis sub I lenr. VI. Rege et Edwardo Principe summi Cancellarii Regis Consiliarii prudentissimi, Legum Angliae peritissimi Necnon earundem Hyperaspistae Fortissimi Qui Corporis Exuvias Laetam Refurrectionem expectantes Flic deposuit. Marmoreum hue monumentum Positum est AD MDCLXXVII Voto et Expends Roberti Fortefcuti Armigeri eiusdem Familias Haeredis nuper defuncti Angligenas intra Cancellos Juris et iEqui Qui tenuit, Cineres jam tenet Urna Viri. Lex viva ille fuit Patriae, Lux fplendida Legis,
Forte bonis fcutum, fontibus et scutica. Clarus erat titulis, clarus Majoribus, Arte Clarus, virtute aft clarior emicuit. Jam micat in tenebris, veluti Carbunculus Orbi, Nam Virtus radios non dare tanta nequit. Vivit adhuc Fortefcutus laudatus in iEvum ; Vivit et in Legum laudibus ille fuis.

In Englifh thus (trans: Biographia Britannica):
To The happy and immortal memory Of that moft famous man Sir John Fortescue, An ancient Knight, Chief Juftice of England, And in procefs of time, under Henry VI. And Prince Edward, High Chancellor. Of the King, the mod prudent councellor, In the laws of England profoundly learned, And of thefe laws alfo A Champion Invincible; Whofe earthly remains, in expectation of A joyful Refurrection, Are here depofited; This marble monument Is erected MDCLXXVII. By the direction and at the expense of Robert Fortefcue, Efq. The direct heir of this family, lately deceafed. Of him, who juftice could the beft explain, This little urn does all that's left contain. His country's living law, that law's great light, The scourge of wrong, and the defence of right ; His birth distinguifhed, merit gave him state, Learning, applause, but virtue made him great. Through darkness now a carbuncle he mines, Nor wisdom's rays the gloomy cave confines ; To latest times shall Fortescue be known, And in the law's just praise be read his own.

Below the tablet on a small slab are these words :
— To perpetuate the memory of that learned and excellent man, Chancellor Fortescue, this monument was repaired by his descendant, Matthew Lord Fortescue, in the year 1765."

And on a brass plate, still lower on the wall:
Restored by the Right Honble. Hugh 3rd Earl Fortescue, AD 1861".

Below this is the tomb itself, surmounted by a full-length figure of the Chancellor in red robes and cap, very brilliant in their new paint, lying on his back, with the hands joined as in prayer. On the three sides of the tomb the family arms are repeated several times on shields, also coloured newly. The tomb and figure are suppofed to have been erected soon after the Chancellor's death. The print annexed, from Mr. Maunde's drawing, is a perfectly correct representation of the whole. The antiquary Thomas Hearne in his unpublished diary corrects a mistake made by some authors as to the age of the tomb. He writes, November 29th, 1733:

"Sir Robert Atkyns, in his description of Gloucestershire, hath made a gross mistake (in which he hath been followed by Bishop Gibson, the author of the 'Magna Britannia', &c. &c.) in asserting that my Lord Chancellor Fortescue's monument, with his effigies, in Ebburton Church, was set up by his heir in 1677. For tho' it be true that in the year 1677 a monument with an inscription was fixed in the wall on the north side the chancel, yet that with his effigies (which is a raisfed monument of free-stone, finely painted in colours, standing on the north fide the chancel, within the communion rails) was erected, as any eye may witness by the form of the workmanship, immediately after his death."

The writer of Fortescue's Life, in the "Biographia Britannica", in like manner says that the old tomb and figure were, judging by their appearance of antiquity, and by the style of their workmanship, probably executed foon after his interment.

Ancient stained glass window in Buckland Filleigh Church, Devon, displaying various historic impaled arms of the Fortescue family of Spridleston in the parish of Brixton, Devon. The estate of Spridleston was inherited by the Fortescues of Buckland Filleigh, who married the Fortescue heiress of Spridleston. The stained glass was brought here from Spridleston, as is explained in a manuscript note by Rev. Richard Lane (d.1858), Vicar of Brixton, as follows: "The windows in the front of the house were ornamented with a variety of armorial bearings in painted glass which were taken down a few years since and given to John Inglett-Fortescue late of Buckland Filleigh who placed them in his parish church" (see: File:NotesOn SpridlestonBrixtonDevon ByRevRichardLane Died1858.jpg[1]. John Inglett-Fortescue died in 1840, aged 82. He was the grandson of Caleb Inglett (1702-1752) of Dawlish by his wife Rebecca Fortescue (1699-1764), heiress of Buckland Filleigh and Spridleston. The shields were replaced in an apparently random order.

Tucked away in Union Street in Salcome is the Fortescue Inn.
The large pub sign seen here, which can be seen down Fore Street, carries the Fortescue coat of arms.
The family has an history going back to when they arrived in England in 1066 with William the Conqueror
and legend has it that one Sir Richard le Fort saved William’s life by shielding him from his enemies
and thus the family motto “Forte Scutum Salus Ducum”, a strong shield saves the kingdom.

A well as the large pub sign (seen here) the Fortescue inn sports a double sided sign which can only be seen from Union Street.
This side again shows the Fortescue coat of arms.
The family has an history going back to when they arrived in England in 1066 with William the Conqueror
and legend has it that one Sir Richard le Fort saved William’s life by shielding him from his enemies
and thus the family motto “Forte Scutum Salus Ducum”, a strong shield saves the kingdom.
The other side of the sign seen here carries a Fortescue portrait.
