    Who or what are the Three Men of Kent?

    Question #54060. Asked by griffinj.

    SOTHC

    I should have known this as they were local boys. Three men of Kent, Henry and Simon de Leybourne (younger sons of Sir William de Leyborne, who had lately entertained Edward the First at Leybourne, near Maidstone, now the seat of Sir Joseph Hawley) and Stephen de Cosenton (in the neighbouring parish of Aylesford, and adjoining the celebrated Kits Coty House, the burial place of Catigern) were knighted under the royal banner at Caerlaveroc, for their gallant conduct at the siege.

    Forget that as I have just re-read it and they were not specifically 'The' Three men

    Still sounds like the answer to me, SOTHC, so far at least.
    For more info, they come from the coat of arms, of Wood of Goodnestone, Kentrep by Jones, Llanerchurgog Hall, Denbigh. (Azure, the Three Men of Kent guardant in fesse proper, wreathed and cinctured vert, bearing clubs also proper and shields argent charged with crosses guiles.)
    [cincture: a. Something that encircles or surrounds. b. A belt or sash, especially one worn with an ecclesiastical vestment or the habit of a monk or nun.]
