Note:

George Lord Bergavenny quartered the arms of Warenne, but not the arms of Fitzalan through whom he claimed the heraldic inheritance. His great-great-grandmother, Lady Joan Fitzalan, was eventually an heraldic heiress, on the death of her brother, the 12th Earl of Arundel. The rules of heraldry, as understood today, do not usually allow an earlier generation to be quartered while omitting the arms of the family through whom the former arms are claimed. Some quarterings of this period were evidently "cherry-picked" for certain reasons. In this case, Lord Bergavenny had inherited a half-share of the rape and honour of Lewes, which had descended to the Fitzalans as heirs general of the Warenne Earls of Surrey. His grandmother, Elizabeth Lady Bergavenny, had inherited the manors of Ditchling, Rodmell, Patcham, Rottingdean, Northease, and the vill of Iford, as well as several knights' fees.
