White Hart
The White Hart ("hart" is an old word for
stag
) was the personal badge of
Richard II
, who derived it from the arms of his mother,
Joan "The Fair Maid of Kent"
, heiress of Edmund of Woodstock. In the
Wilton Diptych
(
National Gallery, London
), which is the earliest authentic contemporary portrait of an English king, Richard II wears a gold and enamelled white hart jewel, and even the angels surrounding the Virgin Mary all wear white hart badges. In
English Folklore
, the White Hart is associated with
Herne the Hunter
.
