Lead alloy livery badge fragment. A cast leaf, veined with seven points. This resembles the leaf of the broom plant as represented in late medieval art. The broom was adopted as a badge in England by Richard II from 1395, to mark his marriage to a French princess. It was subsequently used by the Lancastrian kings Henry IV and Henry VI, and by Richard III in punning reference to its Latin name planta genista, recalling the Plantagenet surname of Yorkist monarchs whose use he revived (Spencer1998, 293-5, nos 288a-f). This fragile object has been mounted on card by the finder, but appear…
