— Patronymica Britannica (1860) by Mark Antony Lower

According to tradition, this name was given to Lord Howard's fifth son, at the siege of Boulogne. King Henry V. being there, asked how they took the town and castle. Howard answered, "I tripp'd up the walls." Saith his majesty, "Tripp shah be thy name, and no longer Howard," and honored him with a scaling—ladder for his coat of arms.
