Embelief
Embelief
Embelief, a word of doubtful origin, but of which enhanced is the probable signification, as will be seen by comparison of the two blazoning of the arms of GREILLI. Sir Harris Nicolas suggests that it is a misreading of en le chief. Confer with derechief in arms of S.AMANT, from Roll of Carlaverock, under roundle.
Thomas GREILEY, de goules a trois bendes d'or embelief--Roll, temp. HEN. III.

Robert de MERE, gules, a lion 'rampant sautant embelif' d'argent--Roll, temp. EDW. III.; [Harl. MS. 6589.]
