ARMS.--_Gules, a chevron between ten crosses patée argent_. The original arms were, _Gules, a chevron argent_, and were so borne by Moris de Barkele, in the reign of Henry III. The present coat was used by Sir Moris in the reigns of Edward II. and III. and Richard II. His son, during his father's life, differenced his arms by _a label azure_; Sir Thomas de Berkeley used "_rosettes_" instead of crosses; Sir John de Berkeley, _Gules, a chevron argent between three crosses patée or_. (Roll of Edw. II. &c.) See for the differences in the Berkeley coat, Camden's Remains, ed. 1657, p. 226. Present Representative, Thomas Morton Fitz-Hardinge Berkeley, 6th Earl of Berkeley. +Gentle.+ KINGSCOTE OF KINGSCOTE. [Illustration] Ansgerus, or Arthur, owner of lands in Combe, in the parish of Wotton under Edge, in this county, the gift of the Empress Maude, is the patriarch of this venerable family. The manor of Kingscote, which had been given by William I. to Roger de Berkeley, was inherited from Aldeva, the daughter of Robert Fitz-Hardinge and the wife of Nigel de Kingscote, soon after the reign of Henry II. The Kingscotes shared in the glories of both Poictiers and Agincourt, and, although a family of such long standing in this county, appear never to have exceeded the moderate limits of their present ancestral property. See Atkyns's Gloucestershire, 2nd edit. 1768, p. 258; Rudder's Gloucestershire, p. 512; and Fosbroke's Smyth's Lives of the Berkeleys, p. 218. ARMS.--_Argent, nine escallops sable, on a canton gules a mullet pierced or_. Present Representative, Thomas Henry Kingscote, Esq. TRYE OF LECKHAMPTON-COURT. [Illustration] This family is traced to Rawlin Try, in the reign of Richard II. He married an heiress of Berkeley, by whom he had the manor of Alkington in Berkeley. His great-grandson was High Sheriff of Gloucestershire in 1447, and married an heiress of Boteler, from whence came the manor of Hardwicke, sold to the Yorkes in the last century. Leckhampton came from the Norwood family in recent times. See Atkyns's Gloucestershire, p. 238; and Rudder, p. 471, &c. ARMS.--_Or, a bend azure_. In the Roll of Arms of the Thirteenth Century, printed by the Society of Antiquaries in 1864 [numbers 69 and 70], occur the following coats: "Signeur de Bilebatia de Try, d'or un bend gobony d'argent et d'azure. "Regnald de Try, d'or un bend d'azure un labell gulez." Present Representative, Rev. Charles Brandon Trye. ESTCOURT OF ESTCOURT, IN SHIPTON-MOYNE. [Illustration] The printed accounts of this ancient family are somewhat meagre, but original evidences in the possession of the present Mr. Estcourt prove the long continuance of his ancestors as lords of the manor of the place from whence the name is derived, and of which John Estcourt died seised in the fourteenth year of Edward IV. The estate has remained the inheritance of his descendants from that period.
