About the Item
Dutch Engraved Royal Armorial Princess Anne Princess of Orange Newcastle Light Baluster, c1750
The literal translation of the motto is God is my right, a reference to the monarchy's divine right to rule. This is a controversial version of the motto - it should be "DIEU ET MON DROIT" - meaning God and my right - a reference to the British Monarchy's (legally sound) claim to the French throne first adopted by Henry V.
The earliest example of the version found on the glass we can find is from Diderot's Encyclopédie. It's hardly a surprise that a Frenchman would like to hide the fact that he'd been ruled by a usurping family since the outrage of 1328 when Edward III was wrongfully denied the French Crown sparking the Hundred Years War. The chances are the engraver would have been illiterate and following a template and thus cannot be accused of making error. This is intentional
