The History of the Anglesey Arms

The 1st Marquess of Anglesey was a celebrated hero due to his charge over the British cavalry during the battle of Waterloo, in which he sacrificed his leg! Lord Anglesey’s courageous battle achievements are honoured through the coat of arms.

The five lions represent dauntless courage, and the shield is surrounded by the collar of the Order of the Garter (his most senior order of Knighthood) which is specific to the 1st Marquess.

Lord Anglesey’s daughter, Caroline, later married the 5th Duke of Richmond who also fought in the battle of Waterloo, and to no surprise is the man behind ‘The Richmond Arms’ sign at the entrance gates to Goodwood.
