(John), of Welsh extraction, was born in Herefordshire, about the year 1565. Having completed his education at Brazen-nose college, Oxford, he became a member of the college of arms in London; and was made rouge croix pursuivant, in which post he died in 1621. He published, in 1610, a celebrated work, intitled the Display of Heraldry, folio, which has gone through many editions. To the fifth, which came out in 1679, was added A treatise of honour civil and military, by captain John Loggan.
