1 Guerard de dyestre

dor a ij faises de sable

Or two bars sable

Arnould IV Sire de Diest, d1296,
bears the same arms in BA 144(1)
Le Sire de Diestre d'or a ij stons noirs de travers ou tu ers,
and in D 83
Dist d'or a deus barres de sable

faise is MF (2) fasce, fess.
stons de travers are bastons, MF bâtons, à travers or fesswise.
tu ers has the same meaning as de travers

2 Henry de Willers

dor a une faice dasur a j demy lion de gueulles si prent toute la faice

Or a fess azure and in chief a lion rampant issuant gules

3 Guy Mauvoisin

telles a iij quoqill' dargent en la faice

Or on a fess azure three escallops argent and in chief a lion rampant issuant gules

Although 2 & 3 appear to be related there is no evidence. In fact, thoughout the work, the intention of the herald is not clear: sometimes, he places arms of members of the same family together; and sometimes it appears as though he has simply remembered arms which look similar, and decided to include them at that point.

telles is 'the same as those before'.

4 Roger Willerat

de gueulles a une faice eschiquetes dargent et de sable a ung lyonchel dor passant au chef

Gules a fess checky argent and sable in chief a lion passant gardant or

Unless the manuscript is painted, it is often impossible to distinguish between lions and leopards, and passant and passant gardant. I have usually shown a lion passant gardant where the original blazon has passant. It is evident that in the early days of heraldry, little importance was given to such detail.

Godefroid de Louvain, Sire de Perwez,
bears the same arms in BA 160
Le Sire de Puerwez de gueules a la faisse d'argent
and in D 259
where the bearer is Paruets

Arnould II de Wesmael
bears the same arms in BA 134, named as Arnox de Huissemal, de geules a iij fleurs de lis blanques
and D 261, as Ernaud de Wisemale
along with
Franco de Wesmael, Franc de Wisemale in the original, in D 263.

Arnould de Wesmael, bears
Gules three fleurs de lis couped argent
in CP 103, de gheules a trois fleurs de lis d'argent en lonc, named as Ernoul de Wesmael

en lonc is couped. In MF blazon the term nourri is used exclusively for the fleur de lis, and means that the roots are nourished, thus under the ground and not visible.

Arnould, Le Sire de Huissemale
bears the same arms without the label in BA 183,
d'or a iij fleurs de lis de geules
No7 is perhaps the son of Arnould. Another explantion is that these are the same person, and at the time of VE his father was still alive.

de synobles a trois faulces lozanges dargent au chef dor a iij peulz de gueulles en chef

Henri Sire de Bautershem bears
vert a iij faisses lozengees d'argent au kief estakie d'or et de geules
in BA 16, where he is named as Hervis de Baudesen.

I have drawn iij faisses lozengees as three bars composed of lozenges. They could be bars with a lozengy pattern.

Henry de Bautershem bears
de vert a iij fause losenges d'argent al chef pale d'or e de goules
in C 184, where he is named as Henry de Bauterseyn.

Bautershem bears
d'or od treis losenges perce de azur od le chef pale de argent et de gules
in D 44, where the arms are named simply as Botresham.

Gilles de Quaderebbe bears the same arms in
BA 231, d'azur au kief blanc a iij martiaux de gueles en beslive
where is named as Gilles de Quarterebe

Jean de Quaderebbe bears
d'azur au kief d'or a iij martiaux de gueles en beslive
in BA 232
where he is named as Johans de Quarterebe

Guillaume de Walehain also appears in BA 245, where he bears the same arms
d'or a j escuchon vert a j baston de gueules en beslive

Arnoul de Walehain also appears in BA 291, where he bears the same arms
d'or a j escuchon vert a un ston couponne

Henri III, Sire de Breda also bears the same arms in BA 163
de geules a iij sautoirs d'argent ij deseur at j desox

These arms are also found in D184,
d'or a un sautur de gules,
where the only name given is Brussele

Gilles de Watripont bears the same arms in BA 272
d'or a ij lions de gueules adosses au lalbel d'azur
where he is named as Gilles de Vaudripont

The same arms without the label are borne by Waudripun, in D45
d'or a deus leuns de gules dos a dos

These canting arms (4) are borne by Guillaumes de Hornes in WN 672
d'or a trois huchets de gueules liés de sinople et virolés de sable
where the horns are stringed
