King

Life
Daniel King was born in Chester and was a well known engraver. At one time, he was apprenticed as an heraldic painter to Randle Holme, sometime deputy for a King of Arms. Daniel King is not accepted as an heraldic authority but in his book, The Vale Royal of England, he was fortunate enough thanks to the generosity of his patron, Peter Venables Baron of Kinderton, to have been able to include the armorial bearings of some 520 Cheshire Gentlemen. It is thought that the arms were recorded as being in use c1630. His work was used as a source by Ormerod.
