Comment (Additional info):

Sir Humphrey de Poley, who lived 7 Henry I. bore, as appears from a manuscript, " De Nobilitate," formerly in the possession of Sir Symonds D'Ewes, " ar. on a bend gu. three crosses crosslet or," to which was afterwards added " on a canton or, a lion ramp. sa." The ancient bearing was subsequently discontinued, and the canton assumed as the coat, but not without dispute, for an authentic record intimates that, "this being noticed as the ancient coat of the Earls of Flanders, by Count Maurice of Nassau, Prince of Orange, and Henry, Earl of Northumberland, being then also present in the Netheriand army, who pretended to descend from the Earls of Flanders, they had some discourse and question with Sir John Poley, who gave so good satisfaction that it did rightly belong to him, as that they never after made scruple touching the same.
