[edit]DescriptionTennysonArms TrinityCollege Cambridge.PNG |
English: Stained glass window in Hall of Trinity College, Cambridge, England, showing arms of Alfred, Lord Tennyson. Arms: Gules, a bend nebuly or thereon a chaplet vert between three leopard's faces jessant-de-lys of the second; Crest: A dexter arm in armour the hand in a gauntlet or grasping a broken tilting spear enfiled with a garland of laurel; Supporters: Two leopards rampant guardant gules semee de lys and ducally crowned or; Motto: Respiciens Prospiciens (Debrett's Peerage, 1968, p.1091) ("Looking backwards (is) looking forwards") The chaplet on the bend is a special augmentation to the paternal arms. The arms appear to be a difference of the arms of Thomas Tenison (d.1715), Archbishop of Canterbury, themselves a difference of the 13th century arms of Denys of Waterton, Glamorgan and of Siston and Dyrham in Gloucestershire (being themselves a difference of the arms of Cantilupe). The surname Tennyson signifies "son of Denys". No known connection exists between the two families. The Denys arms were usually shown "debruised" by a bend engrailed, i.e. the bend overlay the leopard's faces. However, later versions (for example as seen in Pucklechurch Church, Gloucestershire, and on the Lygon monument in Fairford Church, Gloucestershire) "tidied them up" (as is shown in the Tennyson arms) to show the bend passing neatly between the leopard's faces. The original intention of the bend was however to difference the arms of Cantilupe, somewhat brutally, by simply imposing it on the 2, 1, arrangement. It is assumed that the first Denys to adopt these arms was a feudal tenant or follower of one of the Cantilupe family, which originated the jessant-de-lys design. Other feudal tenants of the Cantilupes are proven to have done this in a similar fashion, most notably the Hubard family of Ipsley, Warwickshire, and the Woodforde family of Brentingby, Leicestershire |
