Thanks for that , the Courtenay example is apt as the de Pyn's in Devon owed fealty to the Courtenay's at one point in Devon.
Surprised at the ref to arms in the Bayeux tapestry, understood the consensus was that the evidence was that there was no meaningful use of specific arms that early and only really came in from later in the 12th century.
