There is a bit of interesting history connected with this motto which adds to the interest England 47 of the plate. John Pauletus, the Marquis of Win- chester, garrisoned his house during the civil wars in the reign of Charles I. And held it against the Parliamentary forces for nigh two years. In honor of the principles which actuated him in this enter- prise the Marquis called his house "Aymez Loy- aulte, " and he caused these words to be written with a diamond upon every glass window in the h...ouse ! Ever since this show of loyalty and pugnacity these words have been used by the descendants of the house as their motto.
Sir John Hussey Delaval, Bart. , known as Lord Delaval, was the second son of Sir Francis, and was in his way quite as remarkable a man as was his father. An apt business man and a lover of architecture, he did much to beautify the old estates and the ample additions he made to them. By the publication of the Delaval Papers the con- spicuous position taken by this gentleman as a patron of the arts is made noticeable, and one reads with interest of his favors to the needy poet of Grub Street, to the penniless opera singer, and the broken-down member of the dramatic profession.
