Blason:

It would only mislead to insert here the various coats and their variations ascribed by mediaeval writers on Heraldry to the early Rulers of All Wales, none of whom could have had an heraldic shield. Gbiffith-apCtnan is stated to have borne, "Ar. three Hone pass. gu." A MS. in the College of Arms assigns to Bodbi Mawb, last King of All Wales, " Ar. three lions pass. reguard. coward gu."; this coat was used on their seals (tfuast Pbinces of Walks) by thej eldest eons of Edward IV. and Hehbt VII. The generally accepted " Arms of Wales " are those borne in the 13th century by Iobwbbth Dbwindwh and by the Princes of Wales to the last Prince, Llewelyn, viz., Quarterly, or and gu. four lions pass. countercharged. The arms of Powis and of South Walks (from which the well-known coat of Talbot is derived) will be found under their proper heads.
