Image of arms removed[edit]

I removed the image of a coat of arms because this person died in 1155, long before heraldry came into widespread use, circa 1200-1215. Thus he cannot have used heraldry. If you have any evidence of coats of arms in use in 1155 (other than the even later proto-heraldic badges of lions shown on the shields of early Plantagenet kings), please let it be known here. Also, the arms shown were in any case the wrong ones: his descendants the Mohuns of Dunster bore arms of Or, a cross engrailed sable, whilst the maunch arms shown here appear to be those used by the Mohuns of Mohun's Ottery.(Lobsterthermidor (talk) 16:12, 6 July 2015 (UTC))[reply]

Earl of Dorset also?[edit]

A 1911 Encyclopaedia Britannica entry asserted that he "...appears as earl of Dorset or Somerset, these two shires being in early times united under a single sheriff." But as this doesn't give a source, I think it unsafe to make the same assertion here, unless someone can find a stronger reference. David Brooks (talk) 19:07, 29 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
