The coat of arms confirmed to Daniel Byrne of Timogue, Co. Laois on 10th June 1664. The same as those recorded for the O'Byrnes of Glenmalure, Co. Wicklow. At the time of the Confirmation of Arms, ie: confirming that he already had the hereditary and proven right to use these arms, Daniel asked for the addition of a 'bordure' so as to distinguish his branch from other families of the same surname.
All this was undertaken by Dublin's Ulster King of Arms - the official responsible for the recording of existing arms, the confirmation of existing rights to arms, and the granting of new arms.
