  === Different branches of the Catesby famil ===
  Different branches of the Catesby family had different crests. Dugdale, in his account of Lapworth, gives the history of the Catesbys and says "I have seen an antient Pedegree, which makes Will. de Catesby to be son of John de Esseby, Brother to Will. de Esseby, of Esseby, now commonly called Ashby....in com. Northampt.....That they sprung from the family of Esseby is not improbable, considering...that the two lions passant, which for many ages they have born for their Arms, is the same Coat which Esseby gave, by their Seals appeareth." William de Catesby was a Knight per the Visitation of Warwickshires.
