Gerard Legh's Accedens of Armory (1562), concerning tenné, states "There is of the name of Hunzaker, and one other called Finers, I dare saye, they are right Englishmen, & have borne that colour of long tyme". What were the arms of Hunzaker and/or Finers that used tenné—can anyone find the blazon and/or an image of either? Our article Tenné asserts the colour was never used in British heraldry; is Legh wrong about Hunzaker and Finers? (It'd still be nice to find their 1500s arms to see if he was e.g. misidentifying another colour.) -sche ( talk) 00:56, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
The cause of Legh's wilful aberration in this matter [was] his Pythagoracisms. He had determined to bend everything in heraldry to the number nine:and quoting Legh,
it is aptest for this science ... of all simple numbers it is most of content. The figure whereof holdeth all other under it, as by the art of Arithmetique ye maye soonest perceave, where ye shall finde that all articles and compoundes, bee they never so huge, are made of nine figures. The golden number ..."and he goes on to mention the holy trinity, the nine muses, and Kabbalism. Motivated by this homespun mysticism, it would appear he was lying.

...but we cannot find proof that any of either name had "borne that colour of long time."from the coruscating hatchet job you quote from the Herald & Genealogist: Handsacre arms are mentioned in that Dictionary of British Arms, Medieval Ordinary at Handsacre et al. vol 2. p. 259 [pdf p. 954], as "Ermine, 3 chessrooks untinc", citing The Archaeological Journal, Volume 78, Notes on the Incised Effigies of Derbyshire and Staffordshire, fig 4 p. 9 (lower left shield) and p. 24 where it is given as "Ermine, three chess-rooks gules". Fiennes, vol. 1, p. 277 [pdf 346] is given as "Gules, 3 lions or". List of Sources is at eg Vol 1, p. 27.
the web site Ludii Portal has a page about ancient board game Ludus Coriovalli but I can't find any information elsewhere, from the characteristics it seems to me that it could be a variant of Bear games,can you help me? 89.97.104.35 ( talk) 14:39, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
They founded a military settlement, named Coriovallumand wikt:ludus#Latin, though that does not mean the name wasn't invented by the website. Can't find anything archeology in English. fiveby( zero) 18:03, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
Is there a list about the countries whose constitutions contain a reference to Human Dignity? 2A02:8071:60A0:92E0:43F:8184:306D:A98B ( talk) 18:49, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
What are some of the main challenges older adults face in seeking justice and recourse when they become victims of financial fraud and abuse? Specifically, how do the legal complexities surrounding financial exploitation cases impact their ability to access justice effectively? Grotesquetruth ( talk) 23:13, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
