THE CHIEF (H. 3), bounded by a horizontal line, contains the uppermost third (or, in practice, somewhat less than the third, of the field of a Shield, as in No. 71. The Shield of LE BOTILER, No. 72, is--_Or, a chief indented az._ (H. 3). A Chief may be borne with any other Ordinary except the Fesse; it may also be charged with any other figures or devices:--thus, for Sire BERNARD DE BRUS, No. 73,--_Az., a chief and a saltire or_: for Sire JOHAN DE CLINTONE, No. 74,--_Arg., on a chief az. two fleurs de lys or_: and for Sire JOHAN DE CLINTONE de Madestoke, No. 75,--_Arg., on a chief az. two mullets or_ (all E. 2). When any charge is set in the uppermost third of a Shield, or when several charges are disposed in a horizontal row across the uppermost part of a Shield, they all are said to be “_in Chief_.” [Illustration: No. 71.] [Illustration: No. 72.--Le Botiler.] [Illustration: No. 73.--De Brus.] [Illustration: No. 74.] [Illustration: No. 75.--De Clintone.] [Illustration: No. 76.--De Clifford] [Illustration: No. 77.--De Pateshulle.] [Illustration: No. 78.--Le Vavasour.] THE FESSE (H. 3), which crosses the centre of a Shield horizontally, when charged occupies about one-third (or rather less than one-third) of the field; but when without charges, it is usually drawn somewhat narrower. The Shield of Lord CLIFFORD is,--_Chequée or and az., a fesse gu._, No. 76. For ROBT. LE FITZ-WATER,--_Or, a fesse between two chevrons gu._: for JOHN DE PATESHULLE, No. 77,--_Arg., a fesse sa., between three crescents gu._ (all H.3): for WILLIAM LE VAVASOUR, No. 78,--_Or, a fesse dancette sa._: for DE HEMENHALE, No. 79,--_Or, on a fesse between two chevrons gu., three escallops arg._: and for DE DAGEWORTHE, No. 80,--_Erm., a fesse gu. bezantée_ (all E. 2). When they are disposed in a horizontal row across the centre of a Shield, Charges are “_in fesse_.” [Illustration: No. 79.--De Hemenhale.] [Illustration: No. 80.--De Dageworthe.] [Illustration: No. 81.--De Harecourt.] [Illustration: No. 82.--Wake.] [Illustration: No. 83.--De Huntercumbe.] [Illustration: No. 84.--De la Mere.]
