_In Quadrangle._ When four charges are so disposed that one is in each quarter of the shield. _In Splendour._ The sun irradiated. _Irradiated._ Surrounded by rays of light. _Issuant._ Proceeding from, or out of. _Jambe_, _Gambe_. The leg of a lion, or other beast of prey: No. 185. _Jelloped._ Having wattles and a comb, as a cock. _Jesses._ Straps for hawk’s bells. _Jessant._ Shooting forth. _Jessant de lys._--A combination of a leopard’s face and a fleur-de-lys: No. 267. _Joust._ A tournament. _Jupon._ A short, sleeveless surcoat, worn over armour from about 1340 to about 1405. It is often charged with armorial insignia, and thus is a true “coat of arms.” [Illustration: No. 267.--Jessant de lys.] [Illustration: Nos. 268, 269.--Heraldic Keys.] [Illustration: No. 270.--Hastings Badge.] _Key._ When represented in early blazon, Keys have always elegant forms. No. 268 is from Peterborough Cathedral, and No. 269 from Exeter. _King-of-Arms._ See _Herald_. _Knighthood, Orders of_: _Knights_. See Chapter XVI. _Knot._ An intertwined cord, borne as a badge. The varieties of this device are--The _Bourchier_, No. 219; the _Bowen_, No. 220; the _Harington_ (the same as a _Frette_), No. 148; the _Heneage_, No. 264; the _Lacy_, No. 274; the _Stafford_, No. 304; and the _Wake and Ormond_, No. 313. Cords were sometimes intertwined about other figures and devices, and so formed what may be regarded as _Compound Badges_, which significantly declared the union of two houses: thus, the knot of EDWARD Lord HASTINGS unites the Hungerford sickle with the Peverel garbe: No. 270; and the _Dacre knot_ is entwined about the Dacre escallop and the famous “ragged staff” of Beauchamp and Neville: No. 235.
