_Gentile Names of the Jews._--The Query in Vol. viii., p. 563., as to the Gentile names of the Jews, leads me to inquire why it is that the Jews are so fond of names derived from the animal creation. Lyon or Lyons has probably some allusion to the lion of the tribe of Judah, Hart to the hind of Naphtali, and Wolf to Benjamin; but the German Jewish names of Adler, an eagle, and Finke, a finch, cannot be so accounted for. The German Hirsch is evidently the same name as the English Hart, and the Portuguese names Lopez and Aguilar are Lupus and Aquila, slightly disguised. Is the origin of Mark, a very common Jewish name, to be sought in the Celtic _merch_, a horse? HONORE DE MAREVILLE. Guernsey. _The Black Prince._--In Sir S. R. Meyrick's _Inquiry into Ancient Armour_, vol. ii. p. 18., he quotes Froissart as observing, after his account of the battle of Poictiers, "Thus did Edward the Black Prince, now doubly dyed black by the terror of his arms." I have sought in vain for this passage, or anything resembling it, in Johnes's translation, nor can I find anywhere this appellation as applied by Froissart to his favourite hero. Can the passage be an interpolation of Lord Berners? J. S. WARDEN. _Maid of Orleans._--Can any one of your correspondents tell who was D'Israeli's authority for the following?-- "Of the Maid of Orleans I have somewhere read, that a bundle of faggots was substituted for her, when she was supposed to have been burnt by the Duke of Bedford."--_Curiosities of Literature_, vol. i. p. 312. J. R. R. _Fawell Arms and Crest._--Could any correspondent tell me the _correct_ arms and crest of Fawell? In Burke's _General Armory_ they are given: "Or, a cross moline gu., a chief dig." And in Berry's _Encyclopaedia Heraldica_: "Sa., a cheveron between three escallop shells argent." In neither work is a crest registered, and yet I believe there is one belonging to the family. CID. "_Had I met thee in thy beauty._"--Can you or any of your correspondents inform me who is the author of the poem commencing, with the above line, and where it may be found? It is generally supposed to be Lord Byron's, but cannot be found in any of his published works. E. H. {375} _Portrait of D. P. Tremesin._--Has there ever been any portrait known to exist of one Dompe Peter Tremesin, who is supposed to have been the earliest equestrian who performed feats on horseback, and of whom mention is thus made in the Privy Purse Expenses of King Henry VIII., p. 218.: "Paied to one Dompue Peter Tremesin, that _dyd ryde two horses at once_, by waye of rewarde, C corons, _i.e._ 23l. 6s. 8d."
