Edward de Mannesfeld
The Nottingham Roll, c. 1310Edward de Mannesfeld — porte d'azure a un lion rampant d'or, armé et lampassé de goules.
(Edward of Mansfield — bears azure, a lion rampant or, armed and langued gules.)
Two entries · sixteen years apart
Roll of Arms
The first entry was taken before the Scottish war; the second at the king's hunting lodge in Sherwood. They are presented in the order in which they were copied.
After the crossing · c. 1326
Le Lyon de Mannesfeld
The Clipstone Roll, c. 1326Le Lyon de Mannesfeld — porte d'azure a un lion rampant d'or, armé et lampassé de goules, od le chief d'or a treis molettes de goules.
(The Lion of Mansfield — bears azure, a lion rampant or, armed and langued gules, with a chief or, three mullets gules.)
The difference is the story
A chief, three red stars, and a name.
Azure, a lion rampant Or, armed and langued Gules, on a chief Or three mullets Gules.
Nothing else in the two entries has changed. The man is the same, the beast is the same, the field is the same. He has acquired a chief, three red stars, and a name.
The rolls do not say why. Rolls never do.
