• Heraldry		Arms of Henry, Lord Darnley, 1st Duke of Albany, King Consort of Scotland
  		Arms of Henry, Lord Darnley, 1st Duke of Albany, King Consort of Scotland The quarterings of these arms (depicted in Louda and Maclagan, Lines of Succession) appear to be (1) Count of Evreux (granted to Stewart of Darnley by the Dauphin), (2) Stewart of Darnley, (3) Lennox, (4) Lordship of Galloway, (5) Earldom of Angus (differenced by a bend sable), (6) Lordship of the Forest (with wrong tinctures? - poss. should be Argent four piles vert), (7) Stewart of Bonkyll (should the bend be azure not sable?), (8) Douglas. See a similar blazon described at http://www.heraldry-scotland.co.uk/formans.html. The Editor would welcome clarification as to the correct arms of Lord Darnley.
