File NLW MS 24141G. - Pedigree of John Meredith of Allington

Pedigree roll of John Meredith of Allington [Trefalun], Denbighshire, compiled in 1604 by his brother-in-law Edward Puleston of Allington and executed by Randle Holme I, containing thirty-six fully painted coats of arms, many impaled or quartered.
In addition to the descent of Meredith from a number of ancestors, the roll also shows that of his wife Ermyn Puleston from Sir Richard Puleston of Emral and Agnes Waren, and that of Ermyn's mother Margaret Almer from Gwaeddfawr. The pedigree is arranged so that the combined arms of John Meredith and Ermyn Puleston, those of Ermyn's parents Edward Puleston and Margaret Almer and those of her paternal grandparents Sir Edward Puleston of Emral and Ermyn Hanmer are prominently displayed side by side at the foot of the pedigree, and below them the personal coat of arms of John Meredith, with its six quarterings. The authorship of the roll was attributed to Edward Puleston by Siôn Cain (see Peniarth MS 269i, p. 43, and M. P. Siddons, Welsh Pedigree Rolls (Aberystwyth, 1996), p. 23). The roll is an example of Siddons' style 3.
