EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Early Archbishops of Canterbury: A Heraldic Legacy" 2.. This collection of crests represents the early Archbishops of Canterbury, an esteemed lineage of spiritual leaders who shaped the history of the Church of England from the late 11th to the 14th centuries. The crests, displayed in a loose, page-like arrangement, showcase the heraldic devices and monograms of these distinguished figures. 3. From top left, we encounter the crest of Thomas Becket (circa 1119-1170), the famed martyr and champion of the Church, whose crest features a crozier and martyr's palm. Next to it is the crest of Henry Chichele (also Checheley, circa 1364-1443), with a crosier and a book, symbolizing his role as a bishop and scholar. 4. John de Stratford (circa 1275-1348) is represented by a crest featuring three leopards' heads, a nod to his noble lineage. Boniface of Savoy (circa 1217-1270) is shown with a crest of a mountain goat, symbolizing his origins in the Savoy region of Italy. 5. Walter Reynolds (died 1327) is depicted with a crest of a griffin, while Theobald of Bec (circa 1090-1161) displays a crest of a lion and a cross. Edmund of Abingdon (circa 1174-1240) is represented by a crest of a crosier and a book, symbolizing his role as a bishop and scholar. 6. Richard le Grant (died 1231) is shown with a crest of a griffin and a cross, and Hubert Walter (circa 1160-1205) is depicted with a crest of a lion and a mitre. These crests, with their intricate heraldic devices, monograms, and mottos in Latin, offer a glimpse into the rich history and symbolism of the early Archbishops of Canterbury. 7. This collection of crests, dating back to the late 19th century, is a testament to the enduring legacy of these spiritual leaders and the importance of heraldry in recording their identities and achievements.
