Catalogue Note
Le cimier est celui des barons pairs Ffrench, d'Irlande (comté de Galway). La famille Ffrench s'est installée à Galway en 1440 et en fut souveraine à partir de 1444. Catholique, elle descendrait du Français Theophilus de Freyne qui accompagna Guillaume le Conquérant en Angleterre en 1066.
