Coat of Arms of Sir John Chandos, KG Sir John Chandos, one of the Founders… Arms: Argent, a pile Gules. * BELTZ, George Frederick, Memorials of the Order of the Garter from Its Foundation to the Present Time, London: William Pickering, 1841. Note that W. H. St. John Hope attributes "gold a pile gules" to Sir John based, I assume, on the appearance of Sir John's stall plate.
