Excerpt from The Heraldic Visitations of Staffordshire Made by Sir Richard St. George, Norroy, in 1614, and by Sir William Dugdale, Norroy in the Years 1663 and 1664 Dugdale takes credit to himself for his great care and diligence in the exercise of his office when Norroy, as (he says) the books of his Visitations of the several counties under his charge, now remaining in the College of Arms, will sufficiently manifest. He claims to have taken exact notice of all collaterals, viz., uncles, aunts, brothers, and sisters, in the descents by him entered; and he particularly insists upon the zeal displayed by him in faithfully registering the arms of all such as could manifest any justifiable right thereto, and also in publicly disclaiming such as took upon themselves the titles of Esquire or Gentleman without just right.
