Arms of Otto Arcedekne from the Dering Roll (c. 1270-1300)

Blazon: Argent three chevronels sable

The surname is also spelled Archdeacon, because of course it is. It seems as though Otto’s descendents may have ended up in Devonshire and/or Hertfordshire, although their family seat seems to have been at Lanihorne in Cornwall. Some part of their property followed a coheiress into her marriage into the Lucys, and then into Corbett and Vaux. It looks like the other parts were granted and purchased between various knights and esquires, none of whom seem to have had heirs.

The dexter half of the arms belong to the von Rot family. They owned the town until 1248, when it passed to the abbey of Comburg, whose arms are shown in the sinister half.

From Encyclopedia of Heraldry by John Burke and John Bernard Burke (1844)

Arms of Iestyn ap Gwrgant (1014 - 1093)

Blazon: Gules three chevronels argent

The Burkes’ description of Iestyn as “tributary prince of Glamorgan” and “founder of the fifth Royal Tribe” is a little overstated, but at least he existed. He was the last ruler of Morgannwg (which did include Glamorgan, so partial credit, I guess). Unfortunately, the story goes, he had a dispute over land with one of his rivals and invited the Normans in to help settle the matter. The Normans decided they quite liked Morgannwg and decided to stay, and Iestyn was overthrown by Robert Fitzhamon, lord of Gloucester in 1090. His son retained a small part of Iestyn’s territory, and his descendents became the lords of Afan. These arms are most likely a retroactive attribution, since they are the present-day flag of Glamorgan and also feature in the arms of Cardiff; Iestyn’s life and reign was significantly before the provable use of heraldry in Wales.

Arms of the former province of Perche, France

Blazon: Argent three chevronels gules

Many a red chevron or chevronel, with other devices, charged upon a golden field, or a gold chevron on a red field, is a sign of feudal alliance with the great house of De Clare, whose Shield was- Or, three chevronels gules.
