  • The Heraldry Ofspatx and Portugal
    ^ 49 THE HERALDRY OF SPATX AND PORTUGAL. By the Rev. JOHN WOODWARD, F.S.A,, Scot. ^lore than half a century has elapsed since Mr. Ford commenced in the pages of the ' Quarterly Review,' tlie publication of his interesting papers on Spanish matters. In them the art, the literature, the architec- ture, and the amusements of tlie great Peninsular kingdom were passed in relating.'^ review, and made the subjects of most valuable papers ; which, to a country, slower to change than almost any in Europe, and, moreover, lying somewhat out of the beaten track of ordinary travel, are still a storehouse of information on Cosas de Espana which no one who visits Spain, or writes on its affairs, would be wise to overlook. Among those papers is one published in 1838, upon " Spanish Genealogy and Heraldry,"- whicli is so full of interesting matter that many of the readers of tue Genealogist may be thankful to be informed or reminded of its existence, although fifty years have passed since its publication. The paper is one, moreover, which is of interest as being * one of tlie very few to whicli the editors of the Quarterly Review ' have permitted the introduction of illustrative woodcuts. These are, indeed, only seven in number, and they are not particularly well chosen, or well executed ; the reader will find remarks on some of them before the close of this paper. It is the purpose of the present writer to deal only with the second- named of the subjects of ]\Ir. Ford's article, and to leave its curious information with regard to Spanish Genealogies for treatment on some future occasion.

  • Heraldry in Macedonia with Special Regard to the People's/Socialist
    genealogy Article Heraldry in Macedonia with Special Regard to the People’s/Socialist Republic of Macedonia until 1991 Jovan Jonovski Macedonian Heraldic Society, 1000 Skopje, North Macedonia; [email protected] or [email protected]; Tel.: +389-70-252-989 Abstract: Every European region and country has some specific heraldry. In this paper, we will consider heraldry in the People’s/Socialist Republic of Macedonia, understood by the multitude of coats of arms, and armorial knowledge and art. Due to historical, as well as geographical factors, there is only a small number of coats of arms and a developing knowledge of art, which make this paper’s aim feasible. This paper covers the earliest preserved heraldic motifs and coats of arms found in Macedonia, as well as the attributed arms in European culture and armorials of Macedonia, the кing of Macedonia, and Alexander the Great of Macedonia. It also covers the land arms of Macedonia from the so-called Illyrian Heraldry, as well as the state and municipal heraldry of P/SR Macedonia. The paper covers the development of heraldry as both a discipline and science, and the development of heraldic thought in SR Macedonia until its independence in 1991. Keywords: heraldry of Macedonia; coats of arms of Macedonia; socialist heraldry; Macedonian municipal heraldry 1. Introduction Macedonia, as a region, is situated on the south of Balkan Peninsula in Southeast Citation: Jonovski, Jovan. 2021. Europe. The traditional boundaries of the geographical region of Macedonia are the lower Heraldry in Macedonia with Special Néstos (Mesta in Bulgaria) River and the Rhodope Mountains to the east; the Skopska Crna Regard to the People’s/Socialist Gora and Shar mountains, bordering Southern Serbia, in the north; the Korab range and Republic of Macedonia until 1991.

  • Blazon and Explanation of the Coat of Arms of the Most Reverend
    Blazon and Explanation of the Coat of Arms of the Most Reverend Luis Miguel Romero Fernández, M.Id., DD Titular Bishop of Egara and Auxiliary Bishop of Rockville Centre BLAZON: Per fess Gules and Argent; a bar wavy composed of two troughs and one wave per fess Argent & Azure, with the upper edge invected of one point and the middle division line engrailed of one point with the lower edge of the bar dovetailed of a single point at the center; in chief, flanked by two escallop shells Argent, the insignia of the Idente Missionaries Proper (a plate fimbriated Or on which is depicted the lower case letters “i” surmounted by a flame Gules and “d’, both Or with a Latin cross Gules between them); in base three roses on the stem issuant in base Gules, barbed and stemmed Vert, seeded Or. Shield ensigned with an episcopal cross Or behind the shield and a bishop’s galero Vert cords and twelve tassels disposed in three rows of one, two and three all Vert. On a scroll below the shield the motto, “Meek And Humble of Heart”. EXPLANATION: The coat of arms assumed by Bishop Romero reflects his Religious Community, the diocese in which he serves, his previous ministry and his heritage. The colors used in this coat of arms are primarily red, white and blue, the national colors of the United States because the bishop wishes to honor the country in which he now lives and serves as both a priest and bishop. The main charge, or feature, across the middle of the shield is a bar specifically shaped to suggest an open book with the blue lower portion representing the binding and spine of the book and the white upper portion suggesting the pages.

  • The Heraldry of Queens' College Cambridge
    The Heraldry of Queens’ College, Cambridge By David Broomfield BA (Hons) Introduction The representations of the coat of arms of Queens’ College are many and varied. On the face of it they should be easy to agree. They were granted in 1575 by Robert Cooke, Clarenceux King of Arms, during his heraldic Visitation to Cambridge. According to Cooke Queen Margaret granted “unto the saide President and fellowes and their successors her armes to be used in the saide colledge as they stand depicted in this margent.” He added to Margaret’s paternal arms a border of green to differentiate those of the College from those of her family. However, the painting of the arms in the grant is in error and many of these mistakes find their way into the arms as shown in the College. The main problem in agreeing a definitive version of the College’s arms is that of reconciling different heraldic traditions. In England it is a principle that the “metals”, gold and silver, take precedence over the “colours”, blue, black, red, green and purple. This is best illustrated in the arms of Grey where the silver bar appears at the top of the shield and is then followed by blue and so forth. This is at variance with some Continental practice, for example the arms of Hungary have at the top a red band followed by silver. Also in most English arms six “bars” usually suffice but for Hungary the four silver bars are said to represent the four main rivers of Hungary. The curious agglomeration of quarterings in Margaret’s arms can be traced back to the first House of Anjou.
