Summary
| Description |
English: Brass rubbing of monumental brass in Eton College Chapel, Berkshire (formerly Buckinghamshire), of Roger Lupton (died 1540), Doctor of Canon Law, Provost of Eton College and a Canon of Windsor. His hair displays the tonsure of a ceric. He wears the mantle of a Canon of Windsor, based in St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle, displaying on his left shoulder a Cross of St George within a circle (the cross of the Order of the Garter, as is stated in certain sources). A speech scroll emanating from his chest is inscribed in the Latin with the opening words of Psalm 51: Miserere mei Deus secundum magnam misericordiam tuam ("Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy loving kindness" (Text per King James's Bible)). Below is an heraldic escutcheon displaying the arms of Roger Lupton: Argent, on a chevron between three wolf's heads erased sable three lilies argent on a chief gules a Tau cross between two escallops or. The Tau cross was a symbol of Saint Anthony of Egypt and thus probably referred to his Mastership of St Anthony's Hospital in the parish of St Benet Fink, in the City of London. The wolves were canting references to his surname from the Latin Lupus, "a wolf", and the arrangement Sable, three lillies argent (three white lillies on a black field), is the base part of the arms of Eton College. |
