Cross pattée
A cross pattée (or "cross patty", known also as "cross formée/formy") is a type of cross which has arms narrow at the center, and often flared in a curve or straight line shape, to be broader at the perimeter. The form appears very early in medieval art, for example in a metalwork treasure binding given to Monza Cathedral by Queen Theodelinda (d. 628), and the 8th century lower cover of the Lindau Gospels in the Morgan Library. An early English example from the start of the age of heraldry proper (i.e. about 1200) is found in the arms of Baron Berkeley.
==Etymology==
The word ''pattée'' is a French adjective in the feminine form used in its full context as ''la croix pattée'', meaning literally "footed cross", from the noun ''patte'', meaning foot, generally that of an animal.〔''Larousse Dictionnaire de la Langue Francaise'' Lexis, Paris, 1993, p.1356〕 The cross has 4 splayed feet, each akin to the foot, for example, of a chalice or candelabrum. In German it is called ''Tatzenkreuz'' from ''Tatze'', foot, paw. Planché provides a dubious suggestion that the term comes from the Latin verb ''pateo'', to lie open, be spread. He states it to be discernible on the standard of King Stephen (1135–1154).〔Planché, J.R. (''The Pursuivant of Arms; or Heraldry Founded upon Facts'' ). London, 1859, p.29〕
