The “cross barby” is named for the barbs on the ends of its limbs. Parker [159] cites only modern examples of its use; therefore, the cross barby may not be registered until period examples are adduced.
Jessica the Steadfast bears: Quarterly argent and gules, a cross barby throughout counterchanged, in canton a garden rose gules slipped and leaved vert.
Wulf de Langhemerc bears: Argent, a cross barby sable and a chief checky sable and argent.
