A Note Upon Six Stall Plates of Degraded Knights of the Garter
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 21 April 2011
Extract
Ashmole MS 1121 in the Bodleian Library, Oxford, contains details of six Stall Plates which it would appear were removed from St George's Chapel following Degradation from the Order of the Garter. Of these, three are those of Companions whose names do not appear in the generally accepted lists of those who were formally degraded.

19 The apparent emphasis placed by Dudley (Senior) upon the Grey (of Groby) coat and it s associated quarters, althoug h in his Plate as North-umberland it is heraldically correct, may refer to a desire to support a doubtful claim to his mother's Barony of Lisle, for the lands associated with the title had been sold.
