(From "Origines Genealogica," by STACEY GRIMALDI, F. S. A.) The following directions will afford some slight guide by which the date of an ancient monument may be ascertained when its legend can no longer be deciphered. Tenth and Eleventh Centuries.-The coffin-lid in the form of a prism, the better to shoot of the wet, because the bottom part of the stone coffin lay on the ground. In armour, the rustred, ringed, trellised, tegulated, mascled, and edge-ringed, obtained use. Twelfth Century.-Coffin-lids improved, or distinguished with crosses; at first plain, then fleury, in bas-relief. Tables, whereon effigies or sculpture. Priests had chalices in their hands on their breast; prelates had mitres, crosiers, great crosses, and pontifical habits; knights had arms, spurs, and swords. The armour as in the preceding century. No coats of arms, on shields, or otherwise, occur prior to this |
