* E. died N. alphabet, {one of 2 Betham coats given}. Vincent's Ordinary
Vol. II. p. 935. Coll. Arms gives ar. chief indented az bendlet gu. to " Sr:
Richard Bethum de com. Lanc." An. indented chief was Fitzrandolph of the
North, Lord of Mlddleham. West {Antiquities of Furness) notes this bearing
to Beetham and N. and B. {1. 224. appendix 628-30). and Whitaker
{Richmondshire II. 334}, the former in their notice of old stained glass
formerly at Beetham assign a like coat to Burton. The herald Vincent,
however, {supra p. 1092) attributes to the latter sa. saltire engr. ar. a
chief of last.
† N. & B. Mr. Norcliffe calls it a Saracen's head in a note to Mr.
Bellasis.

§ Tunstall, Musgrave, Strickland, Middleton, and Banister figure n the
Betham descent. N. and B. make no note of the Tunstall and Fleming coats,
and the two crowns, nor does Mr. Norcliffe of this latter. This tomb would
seem in some respects a hard heraldic nut for Westmorland to crack, and to
require separate treatment to an extent somewhat beyond the scope of the
present general work. Hill MSS. II. 296. also note as "unknown," 41y; I
and 4, 3 annulets; 2 and 3, saltire within border engr .
