THE BAGGETT COAT OF ARMS
The English College of Arms in
London granted to Captain John Aubrey Baggett, Sr., deceased, the Coat
of Arms below in 1969. He was enrolled in the Armed Forces of the United
States and evidently served during the Viet-Nam conflict. His Coat of Arms
is apparently the only Arms on record that bears the Baggett name. It's
a very attractive Coat of Arms and is similar to the Arms issued to Sir
John Bagot in England in the fourteenth century. Obviously the Arms,
Argent,
a chevron Gules, between three martlets Sable, were granted to the
Bagot family in England by the College of Arms to honor the Stafford family
who had become famous. In the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, the Staffords
(who descended from Hervey Bagod) were a part of royalty. The Dukes of
Buckingham (Henry Stafford and others) bore the Arms, Or, a chevron
Gules. As one can see, the shield of the Arms below resembles the shield
of the Arms also borne by Sir John Bagot. Return to the Sir John Bagot
Arms:
Another Coat
of Arms borne by Baget (Bager, Badget), a variation of Baggett, of
Cambridgeshire in England was, Ermine, on a bend Gules three spread
eagles Or. The colors used by the Baggett family in most of their Arms
were Sable (black) , Azure (blue), and Gules (red). The metals used were
Or (gold) and Argent (silver).
