Kingsley Coat of Arms-- Which one?

I have seen so many Kingsley coats of arms, it's rather dizzying.  But one of them stands out.  I want to post them and source and my commentary...

Below this coat of arms is written:  Kingsley coat of arms (frontispiece.)  The Kingsley coat of arms is a very early one, so has no motto.  It dates back to 1189 King Richard, Called the Lion, King of England, was one of three leaders in the Third Crusade to the Holy Land, in herald terms:  Vert, cross engrailed ermine.  Crest:  in a ducal coronet gules, a goat's head argent.  Describing it in simpler terms:  On a green shield is a white cross adorned with ermine.  Above the shield is a helmet with mantling or cloak that protected the wearer from cold or heat.  Above the helmet is a silver goat's head resting on a ducal coronet colored red.  This was often adorned with pearls and strawberry leaves.

This one is found in Edna Hartshorne Deane's book "Amos Kingsley 1768-1847" on page 9.  It seems to show some elements of the Goat Legend with the goat's head and the crown.

Here is another one, which I featured in the post which shares the Goat Legend.  This appears in the book by Dr. Leroy Brown dated 1907, as you see in the photo.  It seems to have the same elements in the crown and the goat, but is missing the knight.

---------------------

This one appears in George Ormerod's book "The History of the County Palatine and City of Chester" dated 1819 page 44.  This is what is written to describe the crest: "Arms:  Vert, a cross engrailed Ermine, On an escucheon of pretence Argent, a bugle horn, strung Sable."  It seems to focus on the Master Forestership, not the Goat Legend.

It must be noted that this is the same wording used to describe the coat of arms noted author, Charles Kingsley claimed.  This is what is written about it in the book "Charles Kingsley:  His Letters and Memories of His Life" Vol II, published in 1894.

"The bugle horn, alluded to in the old song, and which is in his coat of arms, was the one which his ancestors, as Foresters to Earl Randall, had the right to wear.  The grandson of this Ranulph, Ralph de Kingsley, married Mabilla de Moston in 1233, and the same coat of arms, 'vert a cross engrailed ermine on an escocheon of pretence Argent, a bugle strung sable,' have been carried by the family through many reverses to the present day."  (P. 241)

If this statement is true, then this coat of arms dates nearly back to the one claimed by Edna Deane of 1189 shown above.


Which one was truly used by our Ranulph de Kingsley?  Did they evolve over time?  Was the land given to Ranulph first, then later the Master Forestership, hence a change in arms?  Clearly the history books focus on the Master Forestership, not the land.
