Summary

Description
English: Coat of arms of Sir James Brooke, Raja of Sarawak, granted in 1848 by the College of Arms, London: Or, a cross engrailed per cross indented azure and sable in the first quarter an estoile of the second; (estoile depicted here incorrectly as azure, should be sable). Crest: On an Eastern Crown or a brock (badger) proper ducally gorged also or. For use by him and his descendants, and the descendants of his late father Thomas Brooke. He died unmarried, so the arms were not continued. His heirs as Rajas of Sarawak adopted new arms of sovereignty, as follows: Arms of Brooke of Sarawak: Or, a cross per pale sable and gules bearing in the first quarter an estoile azure the shield ensigned with a five-pointed Eastern Crown of the first garnished with an onyx of the second and two rubies of the third (Burke's Genealogical and Heraldic History of the Landed Gentry, 15th Edition, ed. Pirie-Gordon, H., London, 1937, p.255). The arms of sovereignty were assumed by one of the Raja heirs of Sir James Brooke, Raja of Sarawak. Not registered at the English College of Arms, being arms of sovereignty. See letter written by J.P. Brooke-Little, Bluemantle Pursuivant of Arms, to Margaret Noble, 25 Jan 1967[1] The Brooke Trust
