VIII. in the MS. in the College of Arms, which has been referred to, and the description of it in a subsequent page, where he is said to have borne on his standard, an elbow gard; whence it appears that it was the armour for the elbow. The annexed wood-cut represents the manner in which it is drawn on Lord Fitz Walter's banner: the word "Jerey" was probably the motto of Sir John Radcliff. Jerey Sr Humphry Talbot, 10 L. 100 A.

Upon this word Archdeacon Nares has made the following remark: "Bloncket, adj., Gray. Used by Spenser as an epithet for liveries or coats, and explained in the original notes, gray coats.' I believe it meant at first whitish, for I find in Cole's Dictionary, a blanquet pear, Pyrum subalbidum.' If so, it is from the French blanc. Kersey also has blankers, white garments. 'Our blonket liveries bene all to sadde For thilk same season, when all is ycladde I have not met with the word elsewhere." Shep. Kal. May, v. 5. SYR RYSE AP THOMAS, with iij.
