Son and heir. This William MANWARING was stiled William MANWARING the elder, 33 Edw. III 1359/60. He sealed with his coat of arms most usmaclly, to wit, three bars, with a lion passant in chief. ["The coat of arms was, Argent, two bars Gules, on a chief of the second, a lion passant gmacrdant Or; and so it is cut in his own book, page 331." {Sir Thomas MAINWARING page 9.}]
For Roger MANWARING of Warmincham, in the reign of Henry the Third, sealed with six barrulets; whose son and heir, sir Thomas MANWARING of Warmincham, used only two barrs in his seal, as I have seen their seals. And after the male line of MANWARING of Warmincham failed, then did the heir of MANWARING of Over-Pever assumethe two barrs onely, in the reign of Richard the Second, as next heir male; leaving off this coat of three bars with a lion in chief, as shall anon in due place appear.
