Summary
| Description |
English: Oddo and Doddo, Dukes of Mercia, Saxon founders of Tewkesbury Abbey, with their attributed arms Gules a cross or. Sir Charles Isham's "Registrum Theokusburiæ" gives an engraving, a copy of this original illustration, of these noble brothers, "par nobile fratrum," as Dr. Hayman calls them, in which they are termed "duo duces Marciorum et primi fundatores Theokusburiæ" i.e., two Earls of the Marches and first founders of Tewkesbury. Each knight is in armour, and bears in his hand a model of a church. Both are supporting a shield (affixed to a pomegranate tree) bearing the arms of the Abbey, which the blazoning on their own coats repeats.(Massé, H. J. L. J., The Abbey Church of Tewkesbury with some Account of the Priory Church of Deerhurst Gloucestershire (Bell's Cathedrals)[1]) |
