Text of grant (translated):
The arms henceforth borne by the Stuarts of Darnley and Aubigny were, Quarterly 1st and 4th, Azure, three fleurs de lis or, within a bordure gules charged with eight buckles or, 2nd and 3rd Or, a fesse chequy azure and argent, to which last coat at a later period a bordure engrailed gules was added. The Stuarts of Aubigny afterwards added to this shield the arms of Lenox as a surtout. Argent, a saltire between four roses gules. The well-known crest of the Stuarts of Lenox, a bull's head breathing flames was used by Sir John Stuart, and his war-cry Avant Darnley became afterwards the motto of the family. The residence of the Stewart family in France was the Château d'Aubigny, Aubigny-sur-Nère, Berry. Compare arms of Duc de Berry (Source: Cust, Lady Elizabeth, Some Account of the Stuarts of Aubigny, in France, London, 1891, pp.12-14[1]. The buckles were the canting arms of the de Bonkyll family of Bonkyll Castle in Scotland, whose heirs were the Stewarts of Bonkyll, a junior branch of which was Stewart of Darnley.
