| + | According to Blount: //The Lord Mollineux figured a Sun obscured by a Cressant, the word from the Sun was, QUID SI REPULSERO? from the Cressant (which darted its horns (as they call those of a new Moon) to obscure the Sun) VAE CORNBUS MEIS. By the Sun surely was meant the King, and by the corniferous Cressant the Earle of Essex//((//The Art of making Devises// 2nd Ed, Thomas Blount, London, 1655)). | ||
| + | Lieutenant Colonel Caryll Molyneux's cornet featured a stag's head supported by five hands and the motto //AD QUID EXALTATIS CORNU//, translated as //to what do you exalt this horn?//. The motto alludes to the Earl of Essex's cuckolding and perhaps the Five Members. The colour of the flag was not recorded((The English Emblem Tradition, Vol 3 Emblematic flag devices of the English Civil Wars 1642-1660. Alan R. Young, Toronto 1995, ISBN 0-8020-5739-X)). | ||
