By Helen's desire, Lord Mar had informed Wallace what had been the threats of De Valence, and that she suspected him to be the assassin. But this suspicion was put beyond a doubt by the evidence of the dagger, which Edwin had found in the chapel; its hilt was enameled with the martlets of De Valence.
Beneath a sculptured bust, near the apex, is a chequer-work cross, and lower still a band of chequer-work bearing three shields of arms, the dark squares in each case being formed by flints. The central shield contains the arms of the see, that on the left three crowns, and that on the right a cross with martlets.
There, in front of their respective pavilions, flew the martlets of Audley, the roses of Loring, the scarlet bars of Wake, the lion of the Percies and the silver wings of the Beauchamps, each supported by a squire clad in hanging green stuff to represent so many Tritons, and bearing a huge conch-shell in their left hands.
"See this insolent fellow who bears three martlets upon a field gales!" cried Sir Maurice Berkeley. "He stands betwixt the two armies as though he had no dread of us." "I pray you, sir, that I may ride out to him, since he seems ready to attempt some small deed," pleaded Nigel.
On the roof may be seen the three lions of England, a cross between four martlets, three crowns each pierced by an arrow, and another design.
"No! there the corpses are piled high and higher there the horse of the Apocalypse tramples the dead in their gore." In great horror, William took the King, now gasping on his breast, in his arms, and laid him on his bed, beneath its canopy of state, all blazoned with the martlets and cross of his insignia.
And, touching your question I have no objections, although merely to satisfy your curiosity, to unfold to you that these old prophecies do contain some intimations of wars befalling in Douglas Dale, between an haggard, or wild hawk, which I take to be the cognizance of Sir John de Walton, and the three stars, or martlets, which is the cognizance of the Douglas; and more particulars I could tell of these onslaughts, did I know whereabouts is a place in these woods termed Bloody Sykes, the scene also, as I comprehend, of slaughter and death, between the followers of the three stars and those who hold the part of the Saxon, or King of England."

Paul. 13. Seven lozenges conjoined, 3, 3, and 1 St. William. On a bend, a lion rampant Musters. 15. A chief, three chevronelles interlaced in base Fitz-Hugh. 16. On a saltire, a crescent Neville. 17. 18. A fess dancette Vavasour. Those on the south side, beginning at the west end, are as follows: A cross St. George. 2. A cross floré between five martlets Edward the Confessor. 3.
On the one was depicted the cross and five martlets, the device of Edward, afterwards surnamed the Confessor: on the other, a plain broad cross with a deep border round it, and the streamer shaped into sharp points. The first was familiar to Edith, who dropped her garland to gaze on the approaching pageant; the last was strange to her.
