  • 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.

At the same time, it seems, the reality of heraldry's online presence falls somewhat short of the society's expectations.

  • Heraldry in Ireland
    Heraldry in Ireland There are three discernible strands within Irish heraldry: Norman, Gaelic and Anglo-Irish. When the Normans arrived in 1169 they brought with them the new science of heraldry which was then in the process of adoption and evolution throughout Europe. The heraldry of Hiberno-Norman families is typical of early military heraldry. It had a simplicity of design which facilitated recognition of combatants in armour both on the battlefield and in the tournament. Burke Barry Fitzgerald Bermingham There are suggestions that heraldry may have been already in use by at least some of the Gaelic Irish by the end of the twelfth century. The arms of Domhnall and Donnchadh Mac Carthaigh, who travelled on pilgrimage through the continent of Europe around that time, are recorded in a Vatican necrology. Their arms incorporate an arm in armour and a demi- eagle. Our knowledge of Gaelic armory in the early period, however, derives almost entirely from seals. Aodh Reamhar Ó Néill, King of Tír Eoghain, who died in 1364, used a seal from which the later arms of Ó Néill apparently evolved. The Seal of Aodh Reamhar Ó The Seal of Rotherick Néill of Tír Eoghain (Ruaidhrí) O’Kennedy The oldest surviving Gaelic heraldic artifact is a seal of Rotherick (Ruaidhrí) O'Kennedy, 'chief of his nation', attached to a treaty made with the Earl of Ormond in 1356. The treaty document and seal are in the National Library. It may be that the use of heraldry by certain Gaelic families was linked to the adoption by some of them of inheritance by primogeniture, but this is uncertain.
