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.

The Clipstone Roll, c. 1326Le Lyon de Mannesfeld — porte d'azure a un lion rampant d'or, od le chief d'or a treis molettes de goules.

The arms after 1314
The chief and three mullets

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.
