[Illustration: No. 352.--Sir Fulk Fitz Warin.] [Illustration: No. 353.--Thomas le Scrope.] [Illustration: No. 354.] [Illustration: No. 355.] At an early period, Cadency was marked by _adding a single small charge_ to the blazon of a Shield, or by charging some secondary device or figure upon any accessory of a Shield of arms. Such a Mark of Cadency as this, obtained from some allied Shield, and charged upon an ordinary or principal bearing, or occupying a conspicuous position in the general composition, was in high favour with the Heralds of both the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. From the early examples, which exist in great numbers and in as great variety, it will be sufficient for me to adduce only a few specimens--a single example, indeed, illustrates the system. The Shield of _Ufford_, in the Seal of MATILDA of LANCASTER, which I have already described (No. 320), is thus differenced with a single fleur de lys in the first quarter. Precisely in the same manner Sir FULK FITZ WARIN differences the Shield of the head of his house, No. 17, by charging a _mullet sable_ upon the first quarter, as in No. 352. THOMAS LE SCROPE, on the other hand, for Cadency marks the golden bend upon his azure Shield, No. 111, with an _annulet sable_, as in No. 353. Two members of the family of Beauchamp charge their golden fesse (see Nos. 346-349), the one with a _crescent sable_, and the other with a _pierced mullet_ of the same tincture: Nos. 354, 355. In like manner, in addition to various labels, the NEVILLES charge no less than eight different small figures upon their silver saltire, No. 121, to distinguish different members and branches of their powerful race: I give one of these Shields in No. 356, which was borne by GEORGE NEVILLE, Lord LATIMER, from the monument to Earl RICHARD DE BEAUCHAMP at Warwick--_Gu., on a saltire arg. a gimmel-ring az._: another differenced shield of Neville, No. 357, has _a cinquefoil_ charged on the saltire: a third example from this group I have already given, No. 122, differenced with _a rose_: this shield, No. 122, is now borne by the Earl of ABERGAVENNY. Once more: Sir WILLIAM DE BREWYS (E. 2) bears--_Az., crusilée and a lion rampt. or_, No. 358, which coat another Sir WILLIAM DE BREWYS differences, to distinguish himself from his kinsman, while at the same time declaring their near relationship, by simply charging a _red fleur de lys_ upon his lion’s shoulder.
