Noel and Croft coat of arms 17th century - stock illustration

This image is from a copperplate engraving, and shows part of a 'roll of arms' from Richard Blome's (Britannia), an atlas published in 1673. It features the coats of arms of people who contributed towards the completion of the work – starting with King Charles II. Each page includes 35 coats of arms, presented here in pairs. These two coats of arms are from folio (page) 23 of the work. In old English, an 's' appeared as a 'long s' (which looks like an 'f'), while 'ss' appeared as 'fs'. 'Com' was an abbreviation for 'County'. A number is assigned to each benefactor. Here are the accompanying texts (followed by modernised English where appropriate): 785 Ye moft Reverent Father in god Herbert Crofts Lord Bifhop of HEREFORD &c. (The Most Reverend Father in God Herbert Croft Lord Bishop of Hereford) 786 Ye Rt. Hon'ble Baptist Noel Vift CAMDEN Baron Noel of Ridlington & Elmington Ld. Leiuetenant of ye County of Rutland &c. (The Right Honourable Baptist Noel Viscount Camden Baron Noel of Ridlington and Elmington Lord Lieutenant of the County of Rutland) More from the same coat-of-arms series (many more via blue link): .
