English: Arms of Butler ( alias Boteler, etc.) of Parkham in Devon: Azure, three covered cups or (a mullet for difference). (Vivian, Lt.Col. J.L., (Ed.) The Visitations of the County of Devon: Comprising the Heralds' Visitations of 1531, 1564 & 1620, Exeter, 1895, p.104). This image based on the 15th/16th century bench ends in Monkleigh Church, Devon (see image: File:ButlerBenchend MonkleighChurch Devon.jpg), relating to Thomas Butler, 7th Earl of Ormonde (d.1515), whose wife was the heiress of Annery, Monkleigh. Although Thomas Butler, 7th Earl of Ormonde (whose wife was the heiress of Annery, Monkleigh and whose heraldry survives on a bench-end in Monkleigh Church) is known to have died without male progeny (the earldom descended to his distanty male cousin), the family of Butler of Parkham submitted a pedigree to the heralds at the Heraldic Visitation of Devon of 1620 which claimed descent from a certain Humfridus Boteler de Annery (Vivian, p.104), whose identity is unknown. The arms are thus the arms of Butler, Earl of Ormond (Gules, three covered cups or) differenced with a field azure.
