Simon BASSET b: 1165 in Sapcote,Leicestershire,England
William Basset (ancestor of the house of Sapcote, being the youngest son of the said William and Maud), "having no advancement by the house of Rydell, retained "Undie" the devise of the Bassets, and only changed the colours thereof (from gold
and red) into silver and black. But, about the time of Edward III, Simon Basset, Baron of Sapcote (descended from the forenamed William) and Sir John Basset of Blore (also so descended), both of them (I know not the case why) at one instant (as
I think) relinquished their devise of "Undie" and invested themselves into "Ridels" (ie. the 3 piles with certain variations). [G.E. Cokayne] J. H. Round, however points out that all this is invalidated by the fact that Geoffrey Ridel d. as
early as 1120, when there cannot have existed a family coat of Ridel. [Vicary Gibbs] [Complete Peerage II:1 note (a)]
