===Shield and arms===
St John's College and [[Christ's College, Cambridge]] both bear the arms of Lady Margaret Beaufort, Countess of Richmond and Derby, mother of [[Henry VII of England|Henry VII]]. These arms are recorded in the College of Arms as being borne by right, and are described as ''Quarterly: 1 and 4 azure three fleurs-de-lis gold (France, Modern); 2 and 3 gules three lions passant gardant or (England); all within a border compony silver and azure''. In addition, both foundations use the Beaufort crest, ''an eagle displayed arising out of a coronet of roses and fleurs-de-lis all gold'', but their title to this is more doubtful. When displayed in their full achievement, the arms are flanked by mythical [[yale (mythical creature)|yales]].
