Thank you so much Boffer for the work you have put into your posting on the complicated Connaught coronets.
I took the link to the Letters Patent - or Warrant? I'm not clear about the difference, if any.
I just had to extract the current part and split it up to cope with the details. So I am sharing that here.
The following is copied from the link, with gaps and underlined letters inserted to identify the segments as best I could.
