| Abstract: | The exact origins of the green colour of the cap in the crown in the heraldic arms of the modern Order of Saint Lazarus has been a matter of debate. The decision to adopt of a green cap in recent years is based on the 1967 matriculation of arms by the Commissioner-General of the Order of Saint Lazarus Lieutenant-Colonel Robert Gayre of Gayre and Nigg in the Court of the Lord Lyon which regulates heraldry in Scotland and in those of Scots descent. The present paper looks at the adoption of the Eastern crown with different cap colours through history. |
