The Lambrequin, or, as it is usually called, the " Mantling," is the ornament, apparently composed of foliage and flourishes, which appears behind and around the Shield ; it was probably devised to pro- tect the helmet from rain and sun, and the fantastic appearance which it presents is supposed to be in- tended to convey the idea that it has been hacked and cut severely whilst floating from the head- piece of its owner in... many a well-fought fight. The Eoyal Mantling is of Gold, and, some say, those of Peers should be of Crimson Velvet, and that both should be " doubled" with Ermine. I personally in- cline to the idea that none save Royalty should have them of fur, and that for all other classes they should be composed of the principal colour and the principal metal of the Shield, a plan which is now generally adopted, although some few years ago it was the practice to tincture them all Gules, and to make the linings Ermine for Noblemen, Argent for Gentle- men.
