English: BL Add.MS 45,131 f.54. Arms of Corbet of Siston, bottom row, 2nd from left, 2nd & 3rd quarters
Armourials of Corbet of Siston, Glos & Hope, Salop. As quartered by Hugh Denys depicted in BL Add.MS 45,131 f.54 (dated 1509) & per Burke's Armorials 1884, p.229: "Argent, a raven proper within a bordure sable bezantee". The Corbet raven is said (by Augusta E. Corbet The Family of Corbet, its Life & Times London, 1918) to be the ancient Viking standard borne by the Norman Roger "Corbeau" (i.e. Raven) of Pays de Caux, Normandy, who fought at Hastings with William the Conqueror, and built Caus Castle, Salop. It thus dates from before the beginnings of armourial bearings.)
