Quarterly, Ist and 4th, ermine a chey. gules; 2nd and 3rd, as derived from MEREDITH AP BLEDDYN, argent a lion rampant sable The origin of the first coat, ermine a chevy. gules, is thus narrated: Sir Rocer Kynaston was a Yorkist, and as a soldicr was reckoned one of the most able and illustrious heroes of his time. He was present, mounted on his white charger (argent ei gwrser gwyn) at the battle of Bloreheath, near Drayton, co. Salop, 22Sept. 1459, under the command of the Earl of Salisbury. At this battle Lord Audley, the Lancasterian leader, fell, according to the family tradition, by the hand of Rocer Kynaston. Two years after the battle, when the Earl of March ascended the throne under the title of Edward IV. he not only knighted the squire of Hordley, but also assigned to him the confiscated arms of the fallen AUDLEY as an honorary addition to his own, which were borne in the Ist quarter of the KywnasTon shield
