Summary
Description David MacRitchie - King of Egypt arms at Nunraw, 1892.png |
English:
Watercolor reproduction of the 1461 painting at Nunraw (White Castle) armorial, showing the "King of Egypt" shield with three adders. MacRitchie argues that this may be a representation of a Romani chieftain in Scotland, perhaps a direct ancestor of John Faa, styled "King of the Gypsies". See "Reviews.
