"a Black bull of Clarence (from the de Clare family, from which the Yorkists derived their right to the throne)"
This reads as though the House of York gained a claim on the throne through the de Clares, which is untrue. They claimed the throne through descent from Edward III. Urselius ( talk) 13:04, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
Hi Sodacan, nice article. these are the only officially assigned badges since 1707. Refs: A.C. Fox-Davis. Art of Heraldry, Encyclopedia of Armory. ISBN 0 906223 34 2. Plate CXIV and Page 330. "The royal arms of Great Britain, as determined by the warrant in the reign of Queen Victoria". (pg 330): "These badges, which appear on the Sovereign's warrant, are never assigned to any other member of the Royal Family, of whom the Prince of Wales is the only one who rejoices in the possession of officially assigned badges".
There is a lot of important ACF-D info on most of these (new) badges. Will you be re-creating these six new badges? Ta Steve. Stephen2nd ( talk) 13:17, 7 August 2013 (UTC)
See also: "Although the Sovereigns of the House of Windsor (this dynastic name was adopted by Royal Proclamation on 17th June 1917) have used various old royal badges only one or two new badges have been adopted that for Wales and the following badge for the House of Windsor, which was approved by King George VI on 28th July 1938:

All or most of the images up to Henry V are anachronistic and virtually useless as guides to likenesses or period dress, suggest we replace with contemporary images. But, can't see the purpose of such images. This article is about badges - other images distract from that purpose. So I suggest the first column with images of monarchs be removed entirely.( Lobsterthermidor ( talk) 16:48, 29 March 2016 (UTC))
Does the Royal Oak or a sprig of oakleaves count as a royal badge of Charles II? The Oak tree with three crowns occurs on commemorative medals of Charles II (I own one, it has the royal oak with three crowns on the reverse with the sun's rays revealed from behind clouds and the inscription "Royall Oake" - on the obverse are Charles II's full heraldic arms and monogram 'CII') and sprigs of oakleaves were worn on Charles II's birthday in celebration of the Restoration. The wearing of oakleaves is a direct equivalent of the earlier Angevin wearing of sprigs of broom. Charles II's personal "George" (jewelled insignia of the Order of the Garter) incorporates oak leaves. Urselius ( talk) 09:25, 8 March 2017 (UTC)
