TL3855 : St Mary, Comberton - Royal ArmsThe Royal Arms in Comberton Church include (in place of the familiar
Dieu et mon Droit) a rare example of the motto of the House of Orange, represented in the British monarchy only by William III, who succeeded his uncle (and father-in-law) James II and VII at the Glorious Revolution in 1688 but reigned jointly with his Stuart wife (and cousin) Mary II until 1694, when upon Mary's tragic and lamented death from smallpox he became sole sovereign. On William's death in a riding accident in 1702 the throne reverted to the Stuart dynasty in the person of William's cousin (and sister-in-law) Queen Anne, so these arms can be dated to the period 1694-1702.
The Orange motto should read
Je Maintiendrai ("I will maintain ..." [civil liberties etc.]) but unfortunately the painter's French spelling wasn't quite up to the mark!
