Summary

Description
English: Transcription (by Sir Nicholas Harris Nicolas) of entry in ancient Norman-French for William de Cantilupe in the Caerlaverock Roll, made in 1300. Drawing of arms by Sir Nicholas Harris Nicolas, based on the Caerlaverock Roll text, and as surviving in several ancient depictions

E Guillemes de Cantelo,
Ke je par ceste raison lo,
Ke en honneur a tous tens vescu
Fesse vaire ot el rouge escu
De trois flours de lis de or espars
Naissans de testes de lupars.

Translated by Sir Nicholas Harris Nicolas as: "And William de Cantilupe, whom I for this reason praise, that he has at all times lived in honour. He had on a red shield a fess vair, with three fleurs-de-lys of bright gold issuing from leopard's heads".
