LISTING OF DEVONSHIRE "IGNOBLE OMNES"
from
Charles Worthy: "Devonshire Wills" (London, Bemrose, 1896)
(Transcribed by John Overholt, 24 Feb 1999)
This listing, derived from one in MS.Harl.1080,fo.342, appears in
"Devonshire Wills" by Charles Worthy. (Worthy had been in the 82nd Reg't.
and later was Principal Assistant to Somerset Herald in Ordinary.)
This listing is of those deemed by William Camden, Clarenceux King of
Arms in 1620 (through his 2 deputies) as "ignoble omnes".
This meant that after due inspection, the individuals were unable to
satisfy the herald that they were entitled to be called armigerous
i.e. had a coat of arms (armorials) and/or called themselves knight,
esquire or even gentleman. I suppose today such a person would be
classed as a parvenu or social climber. To be "disclaimed, ignobiles"
was to be publicly shamed.
The listing in MS.Harl.1080,fo.342 also shows the town where the
disclaiming took place - this is not included here.
