Summary[edit]

Description
English: St Michael's Church, Munslow, Shropshire. Left: quartered arms of De Vere, circumscribed by the Garter. Right: Lyttleton (Argent, a chevron between three escallops sable) impaling Mylde alias Burley (Argent, a lion rampant sable over-all a fess chequy or and azure (or: Argent, a lion rampant sable debruised by a fess chequy or and azure) )

Text per Grazebrook, Sydney, The Heraldry of Worcestershire[1]: Arms of Burley, of Bromscroft Castle, Shropshire: Argent, a lion rampant sable debruised with a fesse counter-componee or and azure. Thomas Lyttelton, (or Littleton, as his name is usually written), the learned author of the Tenures (i.e. Sir w:Thomas de Littleton (c.1407-1481), English judge and legal writer), married Joan, daughter and co-heiress of William Burley, of Bromscroft In Edmondson's Baronagium, among the hundred and twenty-two coats quartered by Lyttelton is that of Mylde alias Burley, as above ; and the same coat also occurs among the Lyttelton quarterings at Frankley. William Burley, who was High Sheriff of Shropshire in 1426, and subsequently speaker of the House of Commons, bore these arms; but his father, John Burley, High Sheriff of the same county in 1409, bore Vert, three boar's heads couped close argent, in allusion to his name, Boreley. An earlier coat, resembling that of Mortimer (viz. Barry of six sable and or, on a chief of the second two pallets of the first, an inescutcheon,* ermine charged with three bars gules) was borne by Sir Simon Burley, Sir Richard Burley, and Sir John Burley, all at one time knights of the garter.
