Hyghalmen Roll

Hyghalmen Roll

The "Hyghalmen Roll" is a roll of arms kept at the College of Arms in London, England (1st MS. 5). It was made c. 1447–1455 in Cologne, Germany. Some images show characteristics of German heraldry, such as repeating themes in the coat of arms and crest, and the long "schwenkel" on banners. The latter was omitted from the attributed arms of Jesus when the images were copied into Randle Holme's Book (c. 1464–1480).
