Carries. Foresters of Wirral. Kings of Mann. Earls of Derby. Three golden stags.
Breaks. Never the 1313 Audley writ. Sibling of the house that later received one.
In 1192 William de Stanleigh takes a surname from a stony meadow. Joan de Baumville puts the stag on the shield. The forestership of Wirral, the Isle of Man, and the earldom of Derby are this house's prizes. They are not the 1313 barony.
