Heraldry: Where Art and Family History Meet Part II: Marshalling and Cadency by Richard A.

McFarlane (2015) Marshalling is — 1 Marshalling is the combining of multiple coats of arms into one achievement to show decent from multiple armigerous families, marriage between two armigerous families, or holding an office. Marshalling is accomplished in one of three ways: dimidiation, impalement, and 1 Image: The arms of Edward William Fitzalan-Howard, 18th Duke of Norfolk.

Heraldry: Where Art and Family History Meet 4 Part II: Marshalling and Cadency © Richard A. McFarlane (2015) Two Coats of Arms, One Shield — 1 Impaling places one entire coat of arms on one side of the shield, and another entire coat of arms on the other. It is preferred over dimindiation, for obvious reasons. In the case of a married couple, if the wife is not an “heiress,” meaning her father is armigerious and she has brothers who will inherit the arms, the husband places his arms on the dexter side of the new, combined shield, and his wife’s father’s arms on the sinister side.

Motto: CAS GêR NI CHÂR Y WLAD A'I MACO (Welsh: Hateful the man who loves not the country that nurtured him). Heraldry: Where Art and Family History Meet 5 Part II: Marshalling and Cadency © Richard A. McFarlane (2015) new coat of arms indicates the union of the two families through marriage, however, it does not pass on to the next generation. The College Arms in London has decided: (1) A man who contracts a same-sex marriage may impale the arms of his husband with his own on a shield or banner but should bear his own crest rather than the crests of both parties. The coat of arms of each party to the marriage will be distinguishable (1) by the arms of the individual concerned being placed on the dexter side of the shield or banner and (2) by the crest (when included). When one of the parties to the marriage dies, the survivor may continue to bear the combined arms on a shield or banner. (2) A woman who contracts a same-sex marriage may bear arms on a shield or banner, impaling the arms of her wife with her own or (in cases where the other party is an heraldic heiress) placing the arms of her wife in pretence. The coat of arms of each party to the marriage will be distinguishable by the arms of the individual concerned being placed on the dexter side of the shield or banner (or displayed as the principal arms in cases where the other party is an heraldic heiress whose arms are borne in pretence). When one of the parties to the marriage dies, the survivor may bear the combined arms on a lozenge or banner. (3) A married man will continue to have the option of bearing his own arms alone. A ruling of the Kings of Arms made on 6 November 1997 allows a married woman to bear her own arms alone differenced by a small escutcheon. That will continue to be the case but the addition of the mark of difference will forthwith be optional.1 The example shows the arms of Sophie, Countess of Wessex, the wife of Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex, Queen Elizabeth’s youngest son. The arms show, on the dexter half, those of the Queen differenced with a label of three points Argent with the central point charged with a Tudor rose; impaled with the arms of her father, Christopher Rhys-Jones, “a shield quarterly Gules and Azure a lion rampant regardant within an orle Or.” 1 United Kingdom.

    Guidance on the Use of Royal Arms, Names and Images

    GUIDANCE ON THE USE OF ROYAL ARMS, NAMES AND IMAGES 1 The following booklet summarises the legal position governing the use, for commercial purposes, of the Royal Arms, Royal Devices, Emblems and Titles and of photographs, portraits, engravings, effigies and busts of The Queen and Members of the Royal Family. Guidance on advertising in which reference is made to a Member of the Royal Family, and on the use of images of Members of the Royal Family on articles for sale, is also provided. The Lord Chamberlain’s Office will be pleased to provide guidance when it is unclear as to whether the use of “Arms” etc., may give the impression that there is a Royal connection. 2 TRADE MARKS Section 4 (1) of the Trade Marks Act 1994 states: “A trade mark which consists of or contains – (a) the Royal arms, or any of the principal armorial bearings of the Royal arms, or any insignia or device so nearly resembling the Royal arms or any such armorial bearing as to be likely to be mistaken for them or it, (b) a representation of the Royal crown or any of the Royal flags, (c) a representation of Her Majesty or any Member of the Royal Family, or any colourable imitation thereof, or (d) words, letters or devices likely to lead persons to think that the applicant either has or recently has had Royal patronage or authorisation, shall not be registered unless it appears to the registrar that consent has been given by or on behalf of Her Majesty or, as the case may be, the relevant Member of the Royal Family.” The Lord Chamberlain's Office is empowered to grant the consent referred to in Section 4(1) on behalf of Her Majesty The Queen.

    British Royal Banners 1199–Present

    British Royal Banners 1199 – Present Geoff Parsons & Michael Faul Abstract The presentation begins with the (accepted) date of 1199, the death of King Richard I, the first king known to have used the three gold lions on red. It continues to show how King Edward III added the French Royal Arms, consequent to his claim to the French throne. There is then the change from “France Ancient” to “France Modern” by King Henry IV in 1405, which set the pattern of the arms and the standard for the next 198 years. The story then proceeds to show how, over the ensuing 234 years, there were no fewer than six versions of the standard until the adoption of the present pattern in 1837. The presentation includes pictures of all the designs, noting that, in the early stages, the arms appeared more often as a surcoat than a flag. There is also some anecdotal information regarding the various patterns. Anne (1702–1714) Proceedings of the 24th International Congress of Vexillology, Washington, D.C., USA 1–5 August 2011 © 2011 North American Vexillological Association (www.nava.org) 799 British Royal Banners 1199 – Present Figure 1 Introduction The presentation begins with the (accepted) date of 1199, the death of King Richard I, the first king known to have used the three gold lions on red. Although we often refer to these flags as Royal Standards, strictly speaking, they are not standard but heraldic banners which are based on the Coats of Arms of the British Monarchs. Figure 2 William I (1066–1087) The first use of the coats of arms would have been exactly that, worn as surcoats by medieval knights.

    Hark the Heraldry Angels Sing

    The UK Linguistics Olympiad 2018 Round 2 Problem 1 Hark the Heraldry Angels Sing Heraldry is the study of rank and heraldic arms, and there is a part which looks particularly at the way that coats-of-arms and shields are put together. The language for describing arms is known as blazon and derives many of its terms from French. The aim of blazon is to describe heraldic arms unambiguously and as concisely as possible. On the next page are some blazon descriptions that correspond to the shields (escutcheons) A-L. However, the descriptions and the shields are not in the same order. 1. Quarterly 1 & 4 checky vert and argent 2 & 3 argent three gouttes gules two one 2. Azure a bend sinister argent in dexter chief four roundels sable 3.

  • Heraldic Terms

    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.

  • Guidelines for Heraldry 1

    Guidelines for Heraldry 1

    Guidelines for Heraldry 1 Coats of arms and other heraldic devices may occur in any section a Church Record, carved in stone or wood, engraved on silver, printed on bookplates or covers, adorning textiles, pictures, tiles or windows. Most Recorders will need expert help in order to blazon (ie to describe in proper terms) the arms correctly. Aim to record coats of arms accurately. Do what you can to identify the arms, making it quite clear whether the identification is correct or whether it is questionable and whether the bearer was indeed entitled to the arms displayed. Recording When recording armorial bearings always enlist the help of someone with knowledge of heraldry. Do not use heraldic terms or attempt blazoning until you have consulted a local expert (see list held by your Group Leader). Ask them to blazon the heraldry, sending a clear colour photograph of the arms (with SAE) or a digital image via email if they cannot visit the church. Acknowledge the expert’s assistance in the Record. You may have a shield or a crest only, a shield with crest, or a whole achievement, which has a helmet and draperies (mantling) between shield and crest, and perhaps supporters at the sides, a motto beneath, occasionally the insignia of an order. See illustration in Inside Churches, Heraldry section. Often a shield will show the arms of two families side by side, those on the dexter (left hand for the viewer) being the husband’s arms impaling the arms of his wife on the sinister (right hand for the viewer).
