Brytton bore “Gold a patriarch’s cross set upon three degrees or steps of gules.”
Hurlestone of Cheshire bore “Silver a cross of four ermine tails sable.”
Melton bore “Silver a Toulouse cross gules.” By giving this cross a name from the counts of Toulouse, its best-known bearers, some elaborate blazonry is spared.

The crosses paty and formy, and more especially the crosslets, are often borne fitchy, that is to say, with the lower limb somewhat lengthened and ending in a point, for which reason the 15th-century writers call these “crosses fixabill.” In the 14th-century rolls the word “potent” is sometimes used for these crosses fitchy, the long foot suggesting a potent or staff. From this source modern English armorists derive many of their “crosses potent,” whose four arms have the T heads of old-fashioned walking staves.
Howard bore “Silver a bend between six crosslets fitchy gules.”
Scott of Congerhurst in Kent bore “Silver a crosslet fitchy sable.”
