‘The design of the arms of the Royal Society appears to have been settled in the late summer of 1662. Evelyn records in his Diary under 20 August that, “The King being likewise pleas’d to give us the armes of England, to beare in a Canton, in our Armes” (1), and under 17 September, that the Council of the Society “had now resolved upon the Armes . . . which was presented to his Majestie for approbation, and orders given to Garter K. at Armes to passe the Diploma of their office for it”. (2) There is no trace in the Records of the College of Arms of any action being taken at this time. The second Royal Charter of 22 April 1663 granted the arms described by Evelyn and, at a Chapter held at the College of Arms on 30 June in the same year, these were recorded on the motion of Elias Ashmole, Windsor Herald and a Fellow of the Royal Society
