Summary

Description
English: Arms of de Cornwall family; Sir Richard of Cornwall: Argent, a lion rampant gules ducally crowned or a bordure engrailed sable bezantee, being the arms of his father Richard, 1st Earl of Cornwall with difference a bordure engrailed. These arms were quartered by families claiming descent from that family, including:

Tregarthin

Tregarthin arms displayed in Branscombe Church, Devon. The heraldry here is explicable by reference to the ancestry of Joan Tregarthin, as set out by Davies in his "Parochial History of Cornwall", concerning the parish of Goran:[1]

"At Tregarden lived John de Tregarthyn, temp Edward I, how long before I know not, after which his posterity in this place married with the great inheritrixes of Pever, Chamberlayne and Hendower, of Court, in Branell, by which last, by the Cornwalls of that place, they were lineally descended from Richard, Earl of Cornwall, King of the Romans, by his concubine Joan de Valletort, widow of Sir Alexander Oakeston".

The arms are as follows:

  • 1st: Argent, two lobster's claws in saltire gules (Tregarthick)[2]
  • 2nd: Argent, a chevron between three escallops sable (Tregarthin).[3]
  • 3rd: Semee of escallops, a lion rampant (Hendower)
  • 4th: A lion rampant in chief a label of three points a bordure engrailed bezantee (Plantagenet/Earl of Cornwall)
  • 5th: On a bend 5 (or six) roundels (Chamberlayne)
  • 6th: On a chevron three fleurs-de-lys (Pever)

De Cornewall Baronets

This family claimed descent from a younger branch of the de Cornewall family, Barons of Burford, lineally descended from Sir Richard of Cornwall (d.1296, slain by an arrow at the Siege of Berwick), a natural son of Richard, 1st Earl of Cornwall (1209-1272), (2nd son of King John) by his mistress Joan de Bath (alias Joan de Valletort).[4]

  2. ↑ It has not been explained why the arms of Tregarthin do not appear in the 1st quarter as might be expected. D&C N&Q: "There is but scanty evidence of this family, presumably of Cornish origin, and known as Tregarthick or Tregarthyke. Papworth (p. 963) sets out the Tregarthicks (of Cornwall and Devon) as carrying 2 lobster claws (dexter over sinister) in saltire gules. Tregarthick. " In Harley MS., 1404 (which is a blazon of Ordinaries), fol. 160, Tregarthick is blazoned as 2 lobsters' claws in saltire gu., and the field is apparently argent. In C. S. Gilbert's Cornwall, ii., 348, Tregarthick is said to carry crabs' claws. But there does not seem any evidence of a connection between Tregarthin and Tregarthick to account for the 1st quartering, on the Tregarthin (half of the escutcheon) of Tregarthick. It does not appear that any other family ever carried lobsters' or crabs' claws; and a suggestion that this coat was recorded as an ancient (even then in the i6th century) cognizance of Tregarthin, does not seem supported by any actual evidence; but rather to be a surmise to explain the difficulty felt as to the quarterings on the (Tregarthin alf of the escutcheon)"
  3. ↑ D&C N&Q: "The arms of Tregarthin (quite well known) are: Argent a chevron between 3 escallops sable. About this there is no doubt, but other families used the same or a similar coat. (See Papworth, p. 416, for the Tregarthin coat)"; see also Tristram Risdon's Notebook
