To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
SEAL OF THOMAS OF WOODSTOCK. ARMORIALS. Of the city, " a fleur-de-lis ; but in the fourteenth century heraldry was in full use in this manner. A fine example is the noble of Edward III. , whereon the king, bearing a quarterly shield of his arms, is in a ship whose gunwale is decorated with lions and fleurs-de-lis. This is said to allude to his naval victory off Sluys in 1340. The reverse bears a saltire terminating in Gothic foliations, from which issue badges of fleurs- de-lis, and between the... limbs of the cross are lions surmounted by crowns, as an English badge. Somewhat similar to the Rolls, but less restricted in scope, were the armorials, collections of arms which were made by heralds to serve as a record of such bearings as were in acknowledged use. In these the subjects were carefully arranged in due order, the shields being sometimes placed ac- cording to rank, or else grouped under the names of their charges in what is called an ordinary of arms ; the latter method being intended as an index by which such coats as have features in common can be compared, and their differences noted.
