is parted per pale. Baron and femme:--first, parted paleways, on
the dexter side the arms of the bishopric, on the sinister side the
paternal arms of the bishop. Second, the arms of the femme: the widow
of a bishop has a right to exhibit the arms of the see over which her
husband presided, as though (sic) his death has dissolved all connection
with the see. She has a right to emblazon all that will honour her
deceased husband.
For banners, pennons, guidons, cyphers, hatchments, &c., and all other
matters where heraldic emblazonment is used in funeral processions,
the reader is referred to the Dictionary.
