Arms Generally notes for Waleran Earl of Mellent
Lozengy azure and or.
We quarter these one coat of arms seven times due to seven separate and heiress descents from him.
Further he could not have borne or used any arms in his life as he died 50 or more years before heraldry was invented. But it remains to this day the practice that arms can be created long after death and ascribed zlso to a deceased ancestor so this is a perfectly orthodox prectice.
