Badges have never been officially assigned to the various Heralds by any specific instruments of grant or record; but from a remote period certain of the Royal badges relating to their titles have been used by various Heralds, viz.:-- _Lancaster._--The red rose of Lancaster ensigned by the Royal crown. _York._--The white rose of York en soleil ensigned by the Royal crown. _Richmond._--The red rose of Lancaster impaled with the white rose en soleil of York, the whole ensigned with the Royal crown. _Windsor._--Rays of the sun issuing from clouds. The four Pursuivants make use of the badges from which they derive their titles.
