English:
Ceiling of Library, Strawberry Hill House, Twickenham, Surrey. Text from: A description of the villa of Horace Walpole, youngest son of Sir Robert Walpole earl of Orford, at Strawberry-hill, near Twickenham. With an inventory of the furniture, pictures, curiosities, &c by Walpole, Horace, 1717-1797, publication date 1774, p.43 [1] states regarding the library ceiling: In the middle is the shield of Walpole surrounded with the quarters borne by the family. At each end in a round is a knight on horseback, in the manner of ancient seals, that next to the window bears the arms of FitzOsbert (sic, should be w:William FitzOsbern, 1st Earl of Hereford), the other of Robsart. Arms of Robsart: Vert, a lion rampant or vulned in the shoulder. Edward Walpole (1484-1559) of Houghton (2nd son of Thomas Walpole (d.1513) of Houghton by his wife Joan Cobbe) married Lucy Robsart (d.1560), a daughter of Sir Terry (Thierry) Robsart of Syderstone Hall (anciently Sedisterne, etc) in Norfolk (by his wife Elizabeth Kerdeston, daughter and heiress of Sir Thomas Kerdeston (d.1446) (Claxton, the lost Castle by J. Wentworth Day[2])), and heiress of her grandfather Sir John Robsart (Dashwood, G. H., ed. (1878). The Visitation of Norfolk in the year 1563, taken by William Harvey, Clarenceux King of Arms: Volume 1. Norwich, p.451[3]) (See File:St Martins church in Houghton - heraldic glass (geograph 1937896).jpg St Martin's church in Houghton - heraldic glass. See Farrer, Edmund, Church Heraldry of Norfolk, Vol 1 (1885), p.288[4] Walpole quartering Robsart impaling (unknown). "Shield in the East Window of the South Aisle. XIX. Quarterly: — 1 and 4, Walpole; 2 and 3, Vert, a lion rampant or, vulned in the shoulder, Robsart;). Sir Lewis de Robessart (c.1390-1430), KG, also known as Sir Louis Robessart or Robesart or Robersart or Robsart, was a knight in the service of King Henry V. He fought at the Battle of Agincourt in 1415. He acquired the title of Baron Bourchier by right of his wife Elizabeth Bourchier, 4th Baroness Bourchier, and died in battle against the French during the Hundred Years' War. In 1415 he was given the manor of Mapelhurst in Kent and an annuity. For his service, the king later granted him the manor of Postedhalle in Norfolk, one of the properties forfeited by the disgraced Sir John Oldcastle. In 1417 he obtained "letters of denization", entitling him to settle in England and acquire property there. By 1422 he had purchased the manors of Redenhall, Aldeburgh, Denton, Mendham and Pulham. Lewis and his elder brother Jean were the grandsons of Sir Thierry de Robessart, seigneur de d’Escaillon, whose family originated from Hainault, where Lewis was born. Later Sir John Robessart (d.1450) was a Knight of the Garter. |
