An equally significant Augmentation of an earlier date is borne in the Arms of HOWARD. These Arms before the battle of Flodden were--_Gu., a bend between six crosses crosslets fitchée arg._ To commemorate the great victory won by him at Flodden Field, Sept. 9, 1513, when JAMES IV. of Scotland was defeated and slain, HENRY VIII. granted to THOMAS HOWARD, Duke of Norfolk, and to his descendants, as an Augmentation of Honour, the _Royal Shield of Scotland_ (No. 138), _but having a demi-lion only, which is pierced through the mouth with an arrow_, to be borne in the middle of the bend of his proper arms. This Shield is represented in No. 374; and in No. 374A the augmentation is shown on a larger scale. [Illustration: No. 374.--Howard, after Flodden.] [Illustration: No. 374A.--The Howard Augmentation.] A small group of additional examples will be sufficient to illustrate this most interesting class of historical Arms, and at the same time will not fail to excite in students a desire very considerably to extend the series through their own inquiries and researches. In memory of the devoted courage and all-important services of JANE LANE, after the disastrous battle of Worcester, CHARLES II. granted as an Augmentation a _Canton of England_ (No. 187 marshalled on a canton), to be added to the hereditary Coat of Lane, which is--_Per fesse or and az., a chevron gu. between three mullets counterchanged_. The Crest of the family of DE LA BERE is said to have been conferred by the BLACK PRINCE upon SIR RICHARD DE LA BERE, as a memorial of the good service rendered by that gallant knight on the memorable field of Cressi. This Crest is--_Out of a crest-coronet a plume of five ostrich feathers per pale arg. and az._, the Plantagenet colours--the device (as Mr. LOWER observes) being evidently derived from the Prince’s own Badge, and also forming a variety of the “panache,” the Crest then held in such high estimation. The heart charged upon the shield of DOUGLAS (see Nos. 156, 157, p. 74) is another remarkable Augmentation. So also is the adoption of the armorial insignia of the CONFESSOR, No. 2, by RICHARD II., and his marshalling it upon his own Royal Shield, impaled to the dexter with the quartered arms of France and England.
