MEMORANDUM THAT LAWRENCE DALTON ALIAS NOREYE CONTYNEWED THE SAME TYLL THE DEATH OF THE SAYD This visitation is usually described as made in 1557 and 1558, but it took place solely in 1558. It will be seen from the above heading that it was begun 8 March, 1557, old style, which is 8 March, 1558, new style, and was continued until the death of Queen Mary, which took place 17 Nov., 1558. That the year was 1558 is also borne out by Harl. MS. 6069, fol. 103, containing an account of payments made to the heralds attending the army into Scotland. From this account, which is set out in the appendix to this volume, it appears that Dalton's pay began 7 Feb., 1558, new style, and continued until 18 Oct., in the same year. *The words in italics are in the slightly later hand of 1567, probably that of Flower. SIR ROBERT BRANDLYNG, KNIGHT, OF NEWCASTELL AFORESAYDE. Folio 72. As mentioned in a note to Harvey's Visitation ante p. 56, Dalton, although he began his visitation with Sir Robert Brandling's name, did not insert his pedigree and he did not grant him arms until the 4th December, 1561. The shield he then granted him, namely, Brandling quartering Browne and on an inescutcheon of pretence Halnaby quartering Surtees and the shield which at the same date he granted to his brothers, namely, Thomas and Henry, Brandling quartering Browne, Harl. MS., 1359, both differ in arrangement from the shield in the margin of the Dalton manuscript and here reproduced. In the Dalton manuscript the arms of the families visited do not head the text as in the Harvey manuscript, but are put in the side margin on the left of the writing. For further information as to the Brandling family and their arms see the pedigree in the collection of pedigrees 1560-1561 post and the notes thereto.
