LEICESTER (Leicestershire). Gules, a cinquefoil pierced ermine. Crest — A wyvern sans legs ermine. " Motto — Semper eadem." Arms confirmed at the visitation of the county in 1619.

Burke quarters the arms of England with it, and gives the crest as a dragon with wings displayed and tail nowed ermine. Berry, whilst leaving the crest a wyvern, blazons it "sans legs argent, strewed with wounds gules."
