This text is taken from a handwritten transcript of the document and may not reflect the formatting of the original.

This Royal Warrant is not countersigned by a Minister of the Crown but by the Deputy Earl Marshal, Viscount Fitz Alan of Derwent, who was deputizing for his nephew, the Duke of Norfolk, until the latter came of age.

The Dule of Gloucester signed by the painting of his arms. This was likely done during a visit to the College of Arms.
