Este
The house of Este had for their armorial bearing a white eagle
on an azure shield. Rinaldo, in Jerusalem Delivered, adopted
this device; and Ariosto, in his Orlando Furioso, gives it both
to Mandricardo and Rogero, adding that it was borne by Trojan Hector.
As the Dukes of Brunswick are a branch of the house of Este, our Queen
is a descendant of the same noble family.
D'Este was the surname adopted by the children of the Duke of Sussex
and Lady Augusta Murray.
