The Bagots in Staffordshire, many of whom have been barons for centuries, are shown in a lineage in England. Their Coat of Arms below has the goat supporter on either side of the shield. This came about by reason of the Bagot goats that King Richard II granted to Sir John Bagot in the 1300's. Because they were royal goats, apparently the Bagots requested this to the College of Arms in London and they decided to issue these Arms with goats as supporters on the Baron Bagot Arms.

The Bagots in Staffordshire had borne the Arms, Argent, a chevron Gules between three martlets Sable, from the 1300's until the period during the trial of Edward Staffard when he was accused of treason against the Crown in the 1500's. Because of a dispute between Lord Stafford and Richard Bagot over Lord Stafford's descent, Richard resumed the ancient Coat of Arms the family had borne since their early history in England, Ermine, two chevrons Azure. A few of the Bagot families living in England bore the Arms, Argent, two chevrons Azure.
