"James Butler - Earl of Wiltshire livery ?" Topic

Can't find my freezywater water book. I have his coat of arms but not his livery. Can anyone help?

Don't think its listed in the book and I'm not sure they are known. It seems that liveries were not necessarily a set thing anyway. You could use some of the tinctures from his coat of arms and go blue and yellow or possibly red?

At link one painter's gone for blue and yellow.

It seems it was red not yellow/blue.
This was the livery colours for the Earl of "Ormond"

They are mentioned at the back of the book in the gazetteer part.

@All, Thanks for all the info. I have gone with Red.

@Andy P, do you mean in the FW book. I am going to have another look through the bookcase tonight
