| Disgrifiad | Confirmation by the Ulster King of Arms, at the request of Richard [third] Viscount Bulkeley of Cashel, of the right to wear as the supporters of the Bulkeley shield with its quarterings, crest, and motto, two bulls argent armed and ungul'd, which were once worn by William Bulkeley of Burgate, Hampshire, this William being descended (by a younger son) from Robert Bulkeley of Eaton, elder brother of Richard Bulkeley who married Agnes, daughter and co-heir of Roger Cheadle of Cheadle (temp. Edward III). This Hampshire Bulkeley is a sudden revelation made in this document, but it was well attested by researches made at the time in the Herald's Office by reference to the Visitation Book of Hampshire made by a Clarenceaux King of Arms in 1575, and marked there G.19 (folios 29,31a). Neither J.E. Griffith nor Ormerod knows anything of this William Bulkeley of Burgate |
