—-:–The arms of Bury St Edmunds, from a manuscript presented to king Henry VI to commemorate his visit to the town in 1433-1434 (British Library, MS Harley 2278, f. 3v). The manuscript was likely produced under the supervision of celebrated late-medieval poet John Lydgate, who had translated from Latin into English the lives of St Edmund and St Fremund for the twelve-year-old king. Elsewhere in the book, the young Henry is shown praying at the shrine of St Edmund and receiving this same book from the monks of Bury.
