  • Heraldic Terms
    HERALDIC TERMS The following terms, and their definitions, are used in heraldry. Some terms and practices were used in period real-world heraldry only. Some terms and practices are used in modern real-world heraldry only. Other terms and practices are used in SCA heraldry only. Most are used in both real-world and SCA heraldry. All are presented here as an aid to heraldic research and education. A LA CUISSE, A LA QUISE - at the thigh ABAISED, ABAISSÉ, ABASED - a charge or element depicted lower than its normal position ABATEMENTS - marks of disgrace placed on the shield of an offender of the law. There are extreme few records of such being employed, and then only noted in rolls. (As who would display their device if it had an abatement on it?) ABISME - a minor charge in the center of the shield drawn smaller than usual ABOUTÉ - end to end ABOVE - an ambiguous term which should be avoided in blazon. Generally, two charges one of which is above the other on the field can be blazoned better as "in pale an X and a Y" or "an A and in chief a B". See atop, ensigned. ABYSS - a minor charge in the center of the shield drawn smaller than usual ACCOLLÉ - (1) two shields side-by-side, sometimes united by their bottom tips overlapping or being connected to each other by their sides; (2) an animal with a crown, collar or other item around its neck; (3) keys, weapons or other implements placed saltirewise behind the shield in a heraldic display.

  • Design Your Own Coat of Arms and Learn About Heraldry
    DESIGN YOUR OWN COAT OF ARMS This picture from the thirteenth-century wall paintings at All Saints Church Claverley, Shropshire, shows a knight who could be the emperor Charlemagne, carrying a shield with an eagle on it. This is a heraldic design. WHAT IS HERALDRY? Heraldry is the use of a design on a shield by which the person carrying it could be identified. Nobody else could use the design which would usually be passed on from father to son. When heraldry began, about the middle of the twelfth century, it was knights and noblemen who carried such coats of arms, but the idea spread. Women very quickly started to use heraldry and sometimes a coat of arms would be associated with a particular job rather than a person, so the bishop would have a coat of arms to identify him as the bishop of a particular area. Towns and colleges could also have a coat of arms. Your school may have one. Today one of the best-known coats of arms is the three lions of the England football team, a design which goes back to the three gold lions on a red background carried by medieval kings of England. Sometimes you will find a shield is divided in half, or into four quarters, or more. Each section might represent different members of a family, a marriage relationship, or different things about a person. WHAT CAN BE ON A COAT OF ARMS? Medieval coats of arms were often very simple, perhaps a background colour with a single shape (called an ‘ordinary’) or animal or object (called a ‘charge’) on it.

  • Components of the Coat of Arms
    Mabee-Gerrer Museum of Art SSttaarrtt with AArrtt Medieval Europe HERALDRY 101: Components of the Coat of Arms: The field is the primary component of a coat of arms. A variety of shield shapes were used for the field. Generally, only men and married women employed a shield for their arms field. Unmarried women (and often male members of the clergy) would use a lozenge (diamond shape) or oval. Many fields used for modern coats of arms are circles. The tinctures for coats of arms fell into three categories: metals, colors, and furs. The metals were gold (yellow) and silver (white). The traditional colors are: red, blue, green, purple, and black. The colors were limited by the natural pigments available in Medieval Europe. The shield can also be decorated with patterns representing vair (squirrel) and ermine. One of the rules governing tinctures is that metal cannot be placed against another metal; metal should be placed against a color so that they create a visual contrast that can easily be seen from a distance. The charges or devices (symbols) on coats of arms are quite varied and can include: ordinaries and sub-ordinaries (stripes and other means of partition), flora and fauna (plants and animals both real and imagined), man-made objects (castles, keys, weapons, etc.), celestial objects, and human forms (in whole or in part). In the coats of arms of nobles and lords, the traditional charges often had symbolic meanings (dogs for example were symbols for loyalty). In canting arms (punning arms) used by tradesmen and families, the charges often referenced the name (a hammer for Smith, a boar for Bacon).
