the principal oxford coat of arms or shield was quarterly gules and or (red and yellow) with an argent (white) five-pointed star called a mullet or molet in the first canton. by de vere family tradition this molet is said to refer to a reappearance of the star of bethlehem which showed itself to an earlier de vere while on a crusade and thus led him to victory. in the 14th and 15th centuries the family livery worn by their retainers was orange/tawney decorated with a white molet. a later badge associated with the de veres is a blue boar. a later shield variation of the de vere white molet has a smaller blue molet located within the white one but this may be a simple cadency mark – in heraldry the molet is also used in any family to indicate the third son of a title holder. the third son bears his father's arms differenced with a molet.
