    Heraldic Achievement of MOST REVEREND WILLIAM E. KOENIG Tenth Bishop of Wilmington Gules, crusilly bottony fitchy argent, a lion rampant Or, impaling per fess azure and vert, a wolf passant reguardant argent collared and lined Or behind a lamb couchant of the last, in chief a dove volant recursant descendant in pale argent and issuant from the base an olive branch septuple-fructed Or. Designing his shield—the central element in what is formally called the heraldic achievement—a bishop has an opportunity to depict symbolically aspects of his life and heritage, and elements of the Catholic faith that are important to him. Every coat of arms also includes external elements that identify the rank of the bearer. The formal description of a coat of arms, known as the blazon, uses a technical jargon, derived from French and English terms, that allows the appearance and position of each element to be recorded precisely. A diocesan bishop shows his commitment to the flock he shepherds by combining his personal coat of arms with that of the diocese, in a technique known as impaling. The shield is divided in half along the pale or central vertical line. The arms of the diocese appear on the dexter side — that is, on the side of the shield to the viewer’s left, which would cover the right side (in Latin, dextera) of the person carrying the shield. The arms of the bishop are on the sinister side — the bearer’s left, the viewer’s right. The arms of the Diocese of Wilmington were designed in 1926.

This device was pended until the discussion on how we treat mullets and suns was concluded. Under current precedent, this device conflicts with the device of Ulli Könngott, Per bend sinister azure and sable, a mullet of six points and an increscent Or. Under both the Rules for Submissions and the Standards for Evaluation, there is one CD/DC for the change in field, but potentially nothing for the difference between a mullet of six points and a sun. New precedent on mullets, estoiles, and suns was established on the April 2012 Cover Letter, to take full effect as of the November 2012 meetings. Under that precedent, mullets of seven or fewer points will be granted difference from a sun, which would grant the necessary second CD/DC in this case. As it is favorable to the submitter, we are choosing to apply that precedent at this time. This device was pended from the February 2012 Letter of Acceptances and Returns. Þorgarðr inn Sterki. Name.

  • Heraldry: How to Create Your Arms the Sword Conservatory, Inc. (TSC) Glossary Tinctures
    Heraldry: How to Create Your Arms The Sword Conservatory, Inc. (TSC) Heraldic Arms - a pattern of colors and objects – were first created in order to identify knights on the battlefield, whose identities would otherwise have been concealed by their armor & helm. Originally, each knight would have different heraldry, so you could tell which individual you were looking at. So, the heraldry that a knight used was a description of who he was: brave, rich, loyal, etc. Only later did individual heraldic arms become associated with a family which was passed down from one generation to the next. At TSC, we create heraldic arms that says who we are as individuals, just like the original knights. And just like the original knights, every one of our heraldries must be different. So, when you have a design, it must be approved to make sure that no other knight already has heraldry that is the same (or very close) to yours. This guide will tell you about how heraldry is created: the colors, patterns, and some rules. If you do further reading, you will find more patterns and many, many more rules. Don't worry about them! (Unless you want to.) Over it's 900 year history, heraldry has become extremely complex. We just need to worry about the basics, which are more in keeping with what the early knights would have used. Glossary • Blazon – A written description of a heraldic arms . It uses medieval French to "paint a picture" with words. If you know how to understand a Blazon, you can picture it in your head.

  • Contemporary Flags of the Ukrainian Regions: Old Traditions and New Designs
    Contemporary flags of the Ukrainian regions: Old traditions and new designs Andriy Grechylo Abstract Ukraine consists of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and 24 oblasts (regions or provinces). The new law on local self-governments, adopted by the Verkhovna Rada (Parliament) of Ukraine in 1997, allowed local authorities to confirm the coats of arms, flags, and other symbols of oblasts, rayons (districts), cities, towns, and villages. Over the last six years, all oblasts have adopted their own symbols. Most of them have already adopted regional flags. Many of these flags have old historical signs and colours (Volyn, Ivano-Frankivsk, Lviv, etc.), but some oblasts have chosen new designs (Donetsk, Cherkasy, Kherson, and others). Ukraine is divided into 25 administrative territories — 24 oblasts (provinces or re- gions) and the Autonomous Republic of Crimea. Two cities, Kyiv and Sevastopol, have a special, national status. The oblast borders have remained unchanged since 1959, when Drohobych oblast was joined to the Lviv oblast (Fig. 1). After the disintegration of the Ruthenian Kingdom (Galician-Volynian State) in the middle of the 14th c., the Ukrainian lands were divided among various neighbour- ing countries. During this time the arms of separate administrative territories were used. When Ukraine was absorbed into the USSR, none of the oblasts possessed their own arms or flag. Only after the collapse of the Soviet Union and the declaration of Ukrainian independence did a process of the formation of symbols of administrative territories begin.
