Description: Arthur Plantagenet, 1st Viscount Lisle, KG, (d.1542) at the Garter Ceremony of 1534. From The Black Book of the Garter, 1534, Royal Collection, Windsor Castle. He displays the following arms on his surcoat: Quarterly, first, Quarterly France modern and England; second and third, Burgh; fourth, Mortimer. These arms were also borne by his uncle Edmund of York, Earl of Rutland, 1443–1460 and were the arms impaled by William Courtenay, 1st Earl of Devon (d.1511) husband of Catherine of York, daughter of King Edward IV, as sculpted on the south porch of Tiverton Church. The arms emphasise the descent of the Dukes of York from Lionel, Duke of Clarence, son of KIng Edward III, on which relationship their claim to the throne was based.
