• 1984, R. T. Davis, Diaper, paillé and papelonné in Coat of Arms number 129 (Spring 1984):

  Figured silks like the Auxerre shroud of c. 1050 with repetitive single eagles in gold on a purple background show the eagles’ breast feathers woven as round-topped scales and those of the wings as spearhead shapes. Rohaise de Clare’s seal is based on the latter, but the round-headed type when turned upside down formed the design blazoned in French armory as ‘papelonné’, which was always a gules background with the pattern in one of the metals. The compiler of Bigot Roll, quoted by Stanford London (Aspilogia II, Appendix II), described No. 286, the Comte de Sancerre (a cadet of Champagne) as ‘l’escu d’azur palelonné d’or a une bende d’argent a iij listiau d’or a une molette de geules en la bende’. Apart from obvious points like the error of three cotices for two, and that the compiler had not mastered a concise method for blazoning ‘azure a bend argent coticed or charged with a mullet gules’, he was apparently ignorant of papelonné being confined to a gules background. The field was evidently azure diapered or.
