Biography

John Philipott or Philipot was born at Folkestone, Kent, the son of Henry Philpott, between 1587 and 1592. In later years he chose to add an 'i' to his surname. Philipott was appointed pursuivant-of-arms extraordinary, with the title of Blanch Lion, in October 1618, and in November of that year was created Rouge Dragon pursuivant-in-ordinary. His work brought him into contact with William Camden, who often nominated him as his deputy or marshall when carrying out visitations. In 1624 Philipott was created Somerset herald. During the civil war he served with king, and was created D.C.L. at Oxford in 1643. He died at London, and was buried on 25 Nov. 1645.
