Summary
| Description |
The coat of arms of William II Canynges (c. 1399–1474) depicted on his and his wife Joan Burton's tomb in St Mary Redcliffe, Bristol, England, UK. The shape of the shield, being a late Tudor (16th century or later) escutcheon, suggests this was a later addition or a repainting. However, the arms are accurate as they match those shown in the contemporary portrait of his elder brother Thomas by Roger Leigh.
The blazon of the arms is: "Argent, three Moors' heads couped in profile proper wreathed around the temples of the first and azure": from a description of the arms of his descendant Canning in Bernard Burke (1884) The General Armory of England, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales: Comprising a Registry of Armorial Bearings from the Earliest to the Present Time, London: Harrison, p. 166 OCLC: 1647426. |
