Summary

Reproduction of heraldic arms attributed to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_(archangel)" class="extiw" title="en:Michael (archangel)">St. Michael (the archangel)</a> in a ca. mid-15th century manuscript of "Aunciant Coates", ms. Harley 2169 from the Harleian collection of the British Library (sometimes also known as "Randle Holme's Book").

The caption at top reads: "Sent Myhell Armys" (i.e. St. Michael's Arms). For the other text in the shield, see article <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shield_of_the_Trinity" class="extiw" title="en:Shield of the Trinity">Shield of the Trinity</a>.

In the original illustration, the colors were heraldically "tricked" (i.e. white and blue colors were indicated by text labels argent and aswre). In this version of the image the text labels were removed and colors were applied (for an uncolorized version, see <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Harleian_Ms2169_St_Mihell_arms_tricked_original.gif" title="File:Harleian Ms2169 St Mihell arms tricked original.gif">Image:Harleian_Ms2169_St_Mihell_arms_tricked_original.gif</a> ).

  • This is blazoned as "Azure, with the device of the Trinity in silver" in article "A Fifteenth Century Book of Arms (Illustrated)", in the journal The Ancestor, issue 3 (October 1902), p. 206.
  • Also, it is blazoned as "Azure, the device of the Trinity argent, inscribed sable" in Two Tudor Books of Arms: Harleian Mss. Nos. 2169 & 6163, with Nine Hundred Illustrations. / A Tudor Book Of Arms: Tricked by Robert Cooke, being Harleian Manuscript No. 2169, Blasoned by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Foster_(genealogist)" class="extiw" title="en:Joseph Foster (genealogist)">Joseph Foster</a>, Hon. M.A. Oxon.
  • See also the discussion on page 95 of The Heraldic Imagination by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rodney_Dennys" class="extiw" title="en:Rodney Dennys">Rodney Dennys</a> (1975).
  • In the book in Heraldry: Sources, Symbols, and Meaning by Ottfried Neubecker (1976), this coat of arms is incorrectly attributed to a Bishop of York.

The Shield of the Trinity diagram on a red shield (rather than blue) was considered to be the coat of arms of God (or of the Trinity) in 15th-century England and France.
