ARMS.--_Vaire, ermine and gules_. Allusive no doubt to the Ferrers,' under whom Drakelow was held anno 1200, by the service of a bow, quiver, and 12 arrows. The same coat was borne by Sir Geffray de Greseley in the reign of Edward I., and by Sir Peres de Gresle, in the reign of Edward II. (Rolls.) John de Greseley bore simply, _Vair, argent and gules_. (Roll Ric. II.) Present Representative, Sir Thomas Gresley, 10th Baronet. FITZHERBERT OF NORBURY. [Illustration] This ancient Norman house was seated at Norbury, by the grant of the Prior of Tutbury, in 1125, 25 Henry I. The principal male line becoming extinct in 1649, the succession went to a younger branch descended from William, third son of the celebrated Sir Anthony Fitzherbert the judge, who had seated themselves at Swinnerton, in Staffordshire, still the residence of this family. Younger branch. Fitzherbert of Tissington, Baronet 1783, descended from Nicholas, younger son of John Fitzherbert of Somersall. See Topographer for a curious account of the pedigree and monuments, ii. 225, and Lysons, 217; for Fitzherbert of Tissington, Topographer and Genealogist, i. 362; Gent. Mag. lxvii. p. 645; Topographer, iii. 57; and Brydges's Collins, ix. 156. ARMS.--_Argent, a chief vaire or and gules, over all a bend sable_. This coat is also complimentary to Ferrers. The Tissington Fitzherberts have assumed a different coat, viz. _Gules, three lions rampant or_, from a fanciful notion of their descent from Henry Fitzherbert, Lord Chamberlain 5th Stephen, ancestor of the Herberts of Dean. The lions were assumed as early as 1569. See the Visitation of Derbyshire. Present Representative, Basil Fitzherbert, Esq. CURZON OF KEDLESTON, BARON SCARSDALE 1761, BARONET 1641. [Illustration] This ancient family was seated at Kedleston as early as the reign of Henry I. It is said to be of Breton origin, and descended from Geraline, a great benefactor to the Abbey of Abingdon, in Berkshire, in which county the Curzons held lands soon after the Conquest. Younger branches. Curzon Earl Howe 1821; Curzon of Parham, Sussex. Extinct branches. Curzon of Croxall and Water-Perry, co. Oxford, and of Letheringset, Norfolk.

Roger Curson in the reign of Richard II. Sir John Cursoun bore, _Argent, a bend gules bezantée_, in that of Edward II. (Rolls.) According to Burton's Collections quoted by Wotton, the more ancient coat was, _Vair, or and gules, a border sable charged with popinjays argent_: this was in compliment to William Earl Ferrers and Derby, who had granted to Stephen Curson the manor of Fauld, co. Stafford. Present Representative, the Rev. Alfred Nathaniel Holden Curzon, 4th Baron Scarsdale. VERNON OF SUDBURY, BARON VERNON 1762.
