  • The Romance of Clan Crests and Mottoes
    For Private Circulation The Romance of Clan Crests and Mottoes BY A. POLSON, F.S.A., Scot. H./v . 4/^. )12f Ht 4^ J ^X^ ^ m^-t JfiUum,— The Romance of Clan Crests and Mottoes. This is not a paper on Heraldry, but only a small collec- tion of legends regarding the incidents which are said to account for the crests and mottoes of some of the Highland clans. It is hoped that the recital of these may induce some of the members of the clans not mentioned here to tell any story they may have heard regarding their crests, so that fellow clansmen may take a deeper interest in all that pertains to the crest which many of them so proudly wear. The innate vanity which has prompted men of all races and ages to don ornaments and decorations must, among other things, be held responsible for the armorial bearings which have been, and are, worn by individuals, families, and communities, all of whom seem peculiarly sensitive as to the right of any other to impinge on their privilege of wearing the peculiar design chosen by themselves or an ancestor. Heraldry is not itself an old science, but the desire for some distinguishing ornament accounts, among savages, for the painted designs their bodies and on their shields and on ; men bearing similar designs were, and are, regarded as brethren. There is ample evidence of the antiquity of these emblems. One wonders whether Jacob in blessing his sons had in mind the emblems of the tribes when he said: " Judah is a lion's whelp.

  • The Migration of an Emblem Through the Example of the Cross of Burgundy
    The migration of an emblem through the example of the cross of Burgundy by Patrice de La Condamine Abstract The choice for the subject of this paper, The migration of an emblem through the example of the cross of Burgundy, needs an explanation. The purpose of this subject is double. The first one, as the first part of the title indicates, is to show the migration of the emblems, showing that they follow the movements of populations. The second purpose is to explain this reality through an example: the cross of Burgundy. This choice seems to be all the more appropriate since the country which welcomes us was one of the first to receive this emblem on its ter - ritory, in historic circumstances that everybody knows. The story could begin with Once upon a time, there was a cross... The Burgundian native land I do not pretend to know everything about the origins of the cross of Burgundy, how - ever I can talk about its history. First, its name ‘Cross of Burgundy’ does not let any doubt 1 about its origin: Burgundy, the actual region situated in the east of France. On the graphic aspect, it’s a saltirewise cross, called a Saint-Andrew’s cross 2, which is particular, as on the edges of its four limbs some small branch-like offshoots from the main cross can be noticed. That is why this emblem is also called “croix écotée”, 6 in The saltire of Burgundy French. Originally, it represented two crossed tree trunks of which the branches had been cut off, so that only the sawn-off ends remained.

  • Saint Andrew's Cross, the Scottish National Flag from 832
    Saint Andrew's Gross, the Scottish National Flag from 632 A.D. till toda}^ . Norman Logan In the year 500, the Scots crossed from Ireland to Scotland under King Fergus, ancestor of our present queen. A successor of his. King Angus Mac Fergus, reigning in the year 832, had to repel an English invasion under Athelstane. Encouraged by the appearance of a white St. Andrew's Cross in the sky, the Scots won the battle. In gratitude King Angus a- dorned the church of St. Andrews, St. Andrew became the Patron of Sco­ tland, and his cross the emblem of the Scottish people. Such is the le­ gendary origin of the Scottish flag, and it is commemorated in the arms fo the local community. A memorial now stands in the churchyard at Athel- staneford near Edinburgh, and there the St. Andrews Flag flies always, floodlit at night. St. Andrew was probably the patron of Scottland by the year 1000: in 1286, St. Andrew crucified appears on a seal of the Kingdom; about 1350 a saltire appears on coins. In 1385 an Act of the Scots parliament de­ creed that every man in a Sots army invading England should wear a whi­ te St. Andrew's Cross. The saltire was used also in many family arms; and a few old chieftains standards survive from this period. During the 1500s the St. Andrew's Cross began to appear on flags. Con­ temporary paintings and sculptures show it used, on land and at sea - (1588). In 1542, the Royal Arms of King James V, father of Mary Stuart, have Unicorn supporters bearing lances with saltires, as they stilldo.

  • Handbook on Heraldry
    HANDBOOK ON HERALDRY 4 8322 E L 1 hsnz 7/d ECLAC LIBRARY HANDBOOK ON UNITED NATIONS HERALDRY FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES. NOT AN OFFICIAL DOCUMENT LIBRARY Information Document 12 August 1986 This report has been prepared by Mr. Roberto Rossetti, as a contribution to the Library of the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC). The views expressed in this work are the sole responsibility of the author and do not necessarily coincide with those of the Organization. HANDBOOK ON UNITED NATIONS HERALDRY FOREWORD This report has been prepared by the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean for distribution by its Library as an internal reference document, after repeated enquiries highlighting the need to focus on an aspect of graphic production hitherto seldom investigated. The original idea of preparing this compilation arose from the cover of the 30 July 1982 issue of the "Secretariat News” bulletin, which illustrated 54 emblems used by the United Nations System. Diligent research has trebled the original number, and though every effort has been made to produce a work as complete and reliable as possible, it may well be that some emblems —especially those of International Years and Conferences— were unwittingly excluded from this collection. Those found after its issue might be included in a later definitive edition, drawing on the reactions to the present publication. All the information presented has been extracted from United Nations literature, or from material officially supplied by the organizations concerned. The sources, as well as credits for the illustrations, are always mentioned in the corresponding section.

  • POLITICAL FLAGS and EMBLEMS of SCOTLAND Norman Logan
    POLITICAL FLAGS AND EMBLEMS OF SCOTLAND Norman Logan (This account of Norman Logan's presentation has been reconstructed by the editor of Crux Australis from audience notes, in the absence of a transcript from the author.) Scottish nationalism has been at Cross purposes with the English since the Middle Ages. It should not surprise that traditional emblems continue to find expression today. A range of these banners and flags displayed at various rallies and processions were illustrated by some of Norman's slides. Congress members were left the indelible memory of Norman in full Scottish regalia, as he celebrated the thistle, the timeless emblem of Scotland the Brave. A contemporary version of this is depicted in the lapel badge design above. This design combines in stylised form two enduring national symbols of Scotland - the thistle and the saltire of St Andrew. It apparently evolved from the earlier symbol of the Scottish Liberal Party (Fig. 1) which features the national blue and white St Andrew's saltire flag and the letters S and L, red on yellow (the royal colours of Scotland). The simple twist of the design also evokes other elements in the history of Scottish symbolism. The thistle shape seen on its side is also the fish symbol of early Christianity, established in Scotland from the northwestern isle of Iona by the Irish monk Columban. The national party also uses the thistle-saltire symbol in gold on black flag - this may hark back to the Celtic origins of the nation, for black persists in two of the Celtic flags mentioned briefly - Kemow (Cornwall) and Breizhe (Brittany).FN Another of the earliest' Celtic symbol sometimes displayed, often ins as ociation with the Saltire, is the Knot of Crinan - an entanglement of symmetry and filigree forming a mandala.

  • Basque Symbols
    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT BASQUE SYMBOLS When and how was the Ikurriña created? Brothers Sabino and Luis de Arana y Goiri came up with the ikurriña not long before July 14, 1894, when, at 6:00 pm, it first flew at the Euskaldun Batzokija in celebration of the inauguration of its headquarters on the third floor of (old) #24 Correo Street, on the corner of the Boulevard. This first ikurriña, made of wool, was raised by Ciriaco de Iturri y Urlezaga. On September 12 of the following year, it was seized by the Spanish authorities when they closed the Batzokija. What is the meaning of the Ikurriña? At first, the Ikurriña was meant to be the flag only for Biscay, as Sabino Arana was inspired by the emblem this territory already had, its shield, and his interpretation of it. The red background is considered to be a translation of the shield, since for Sabino Arana it wasn’t supposed to be Argent but rather Gules, or red. The Vert saltire, is also borrowed from the shield of Biscay, as a symbol of the Tree of Guernica. The St. Andrew’s cross also makes reference to the struggle for the freedom of the Homeland and the legendary Battle of Arrigorriaga or Padura at the end of the 9th century between Biscaynes and Castilians which, according to tradition, occurred on November 30, the day of St. Andrew the Apostle, who was martyred on an X-shaped cross. The white cross is placed over the other elements, as a representation of the transcendental superiority of the divine over the mundane.
