Ancient Arms of Plantagenet
"Ancient Arms of Anjou borne by the Plantagenets, who were Earls of that place, of which family King John was descended. Gules, a chief argent over all an escarbuncle, or." 
. . . Richard Thomson:  An Historical Essay on the Magna Charta of King John, London, 1829, page xvii.

Shields were sometimes strengthened with iron bands radiating from the centre
which eventually became a part of the coat of arms under the term escarbuncle.

Jane Lowe's Magna Charta Ancestry
     Jane Lowe has a very well documented descent from a number of Magna Charta Sureties. See Douglas Richardson:  Magna Carta Ancestry, Baltimore, 2005 for full details and complete documentation.  I haven't checked thoroughly, but included are:
  • Richard de Clare, Magna Charta Surety, and his wife Amice of Gloucester, a daughter of Hawise de Beaumont from whom we have a link through the Counts of Vermandois to the Merovingian Kings (the dark age "Sorcerer Kings") of what is now France and Germany. 
  • Robert Fitz Walter, Magna Charta Surety and leader of the Barons who forced King John to "grant" the Magna Charta. (According to legend, Robert had a daughter Matilda, also Maude, Malkin and Maid Marian, who was the beautiful girl friend of the equally legendary outlaw Robin Hood.) 
  • Henry de Bohun, Magna Charta Surety, son of Humphrey de Bohun and Margaret of Huntingdon from whom we see a descent from the ancient Kings of Scotland as well as from the Carolingian Kings of what is now France, Germany, Austria and much of Italy; and the Capetian Kings of France. Margaret of Huntingdon's nephew was Robert of Huntingdon who died an infant and was buried at Lindores Abbey in Fife.  (Sir James Balfour Paul: The Scots Peerage, Edinburgh, 1904, vol. 1, p. 4.) Stories, television programmes and movies suggest this son of the Earl of Huntingdon became the legendary outlaw Robin Hood. This story seems to have its origin in a rare play:  "The Downfall of Robert, Earl of Huntingdon, afterwards called Robin Hood of merrie Sherwoode; with his love to chaste Matilda, the Lord Fitz-Walter's daughter, afterwards his fair Maid Marian." Black letter, 1601 4to. See Richard Thomson: An Historical Essay on the Magna Charta, London, 1829, pages 505 - 507 for further details.
 And there may be more. This isn't my line, so I haven't searched thoroughly . . . Robert Sewell
