Definition Of:

Of Four Quarterings

Bible DictionaryKnighthood & Chivalry Dictionary
Noble heritage from all four grandparents. The concept of nobility came in most medieval senses not from a nobility of character, though that was certainly sought, but from a nobility in the blood. It was strongly believed that much of a person’s character derived from their ‘blood’, their heritage. During the 13th century, tournaments began to require that knights prove noble descent from all four lines to be considered noble enough to participate.
