This Badge, which is used less formally than the full armorial achievement, is used by various members of the family and those who are associated with the Jubys but not direct members. For example Badges are given (in the form of cuff-links or a necklace) to members who marry into the family or may be used by Jubys who are not directly linked to the armigerous branch.
The Heraldic Badge of the Juby family.
The Ankh is the ancient Egyptian symbol for good health and long-life. The white rose is for our Yorkshire connections and the fact that we were once the Lords of the Manors of Sutton Cheyney and Anabin. This was the site of the Battle of Bosworth - 1485 - where King Richard III, the last of the Plantagenet (and Yorkist) Kings, was betrayed by the Stanley and Percy families and was slain by the usurper Henry Tydder's (later Henry VII) troops. It also commemorates the fact that, in Shakespeare's time (and thus his Globe Theatre rivals), members of the family were actor-managers of the old Rose Theatre in Southwark. The basic colours of red and white are also symbolic of the medical profession - alluding to the red blood on white bandages of the surgeons (cf the striped barber's poles of today - surgeons were originally known as the "barber-surgeons"!
