Arms of Badlesmere: Argent, a fess between two bars gemeles gules. As blazoned for Guncelin de Badlesmere, on the Herald's Roll of Arms also on The Camden Roll & St George's Roll[1]

The title Baron Badlesmere was created once in the Peerage of England. On 26 October 1309 Bartholomew de Badlesmere, Governor of Bristol Castle, was summoned to Parliament, creating a barony by writ. In 1322 he was attainted and executed for joining the rebellion of the Earl of Lancaster, and the barony was forfeited. In 1328, the attainder was reversed for his heir, Giles de Badlesmere, his only son. On the death of the 2nd Baron in 1338, however, the barony became abeyant. Its representation follows the same line of the one of Baron de Ros.
