Hubert Chesshyre
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
David Hubert Boothby Chesshyre,CVO, MA (Cantab), FSA is Her Majesty's Clarenceux King of Arms. He was born in 1940, and both of his parents are of ancient families. However, his paternal line had no authorised coat of arms until he himself procured a grant of arms in 1970 and his paternal grandfather's surname was Isacke and not Chesshyre (Burke's Peerage 107th edn vol 1 p 430). He was educated at The King's School, Canterbury, at Trinity College, Cambridge (Modern Languages BA, MA), and at Christ Church College, Oxford (Diploma in Education). He is a fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London as well as a fellow of the Heraldry Society. Chesshyre served as a Green Staff Officer at the investiture of Charles, Prince of Wales in 1969. He joined the College of Arms as Rouge Croix Pursuivant of Arms in Ordinary in 1971 at which time he also joined the staff of Sir Anthony Wagner.
