[edit] Summary

Heraldic arms attributed to St. Michael (the archangel) in a 15th century (reign of Henry VI of England, ca. the end of the 1450's?) manuscript of "Aunciant Coates", ms. Harley 2169 from the Harleian collection of the British Library.

Caption at top: "Sent Myhell Armys" (St. Michael's Arms). The colors are heraldically "tricked" as aswre (azure=blue) and argent (white).[1] For the other text in the shield, see Shield of the Trinity.

Reference: See the article "A Fifteenth Century Book of Arms (Illustrated)", in the journal The Ancestor, issue 3 (October 1902), p. 206. The blazon offered there is "Azure, with the device of the Trinity in silver".

Scanned in from "Heraldry: Sources, Symbols, and Meaning" by Ottfried Neubecker (1976) -- where the coat of arms is incorrectly attributed to a Bishop of York -- by Willem van den Berg, cleaned up by AnonMoos.
