?1828 W. Berry Encycl. Heraldica I. sig. Cc^v Fesse debruised, fracted, or removed, by some termed double downset, is a fesse broken, and one piece set above the other.

1847 H. Gough Gloss. Terms Brit. Heraldry 141 Some would call such a fess downset, but there is strong reason to believe that that term should be restricted to ordinaries whose dexter sides have fallen. Perhaps the best way would be to say downset on the dexter or sinister side.

1847 H. Gough Gloss. Terms Brit. Heraldry 53 Bend debruised, removed or fracted, otherwise downset: a bend of this form is inserted in almost every English heraldic book, but it may be questioned whether it occurs in any coat of arms in this country.
