Providing for the lapsed inheritance of the title of Lord Grey, and devolving it on Charles Yelverton with a decription of his arms: "On the dexter side a Wivern Or Coller'd and chain'd Gules, And on the sinister side A Lion regardant Gules". Dugdale (1605-86) was a prolific author and historian, who is well-known for his Baronage and History of Arms.
