Great, but why a swan? The story goes back further than this and is ultimately lost in the mists of antiquity. The family of Humphrey had inherited the Swan badge from one of the three daughters of another Humphrey, the son of Thomas of Woodstock. This Thomas was the youngest son of Edward III and he in turn had inherited the Swan badge from the family of his wife, Alianora de Bohun, one of two daughters who in had been the only children of the last male member of the Bohun family.
Are you still with me? This bloke was the son of a king called Oryant, who had seven children, each with a silver chain round its neck. Each child turned into a swan with one exception, Helyas, the Knight of the Swan. But hang on. The Mandevilles had inherited the badge in from the descendants of the family of Henry of Essex, a late 12th century Sheriff of Buckingham. To complete the story, Henry inherited the Swan from an ancestor with the Danish name of Sweyn. A pun on the words Sweyn and Swan.
Punning on names in this fashion was common in an age when people could not read or write. Today, the shield has been replaced by a roundel, incorporating the light and dark blue colours.
The professional advice of a European Patent Attorney was spot on and all the registrations sailed through. By adopting a new more modern crest, still incorporating the history of the club by not changing the design of the Buckinghamshire Swan, it allowed for a whole new range of branded and fashionable merchandise to be produced.
