' per pale azure and gules, three lions rampant argent,' for at the time of foundation William Herbert, 3rd Earl of Pembroke was Chancellor of Oxford. The chief 'per pale argent and or, in the dexter a rose gules, barbed and seeded proper, and in the sinister a thistle of Scotland proper.' refer to James I.
