_Dimidiation by Impalement_ (Vol. vii., p. 630.).--Your correspondent D. P.
concludes his notice on this subject by doubting if any instance of
"Dimidiation by Impalement" can be found since the time of Henry VIII. If
he turn to Anderson's _Diplomata Scotiæ_ (p. 164. and 90.), he will find
that Mary Queen of Scots bore the arms of France dimidiated with those of
Scotland from A.D. 1560 to December 1565. This coat she bore as Queen
Dowager of France, from the death of her first husband, the King of France,
until her marriage with Darnley.
