Of Historical Relevance
A coat of arms is an emblem firmly rooted in medieval history.
It began as a personal identifier and evolved to represent whole kinship groups and institutions.
In the beginning, heraldic arms identified knights on a battlefield or in a tournament.
They were entrenched in medieval pageantry and quickly became items of personal vanity and pride,
spreading to other media, such as rings, tapestries and banners.
The coat of arms includes several components: a crest, helm, torse, mantling, shield and motto,
along with your family’s name. They are governed by the rules of heraldry and strictly regulated,
although this was not always so. Each coat of arms is unique and represents different meanings
and values to different individuals.
Coats of arms primarily hung in castles and noble estates and were passed down patrilineally, which means from father to son.
Coats of arms were originally reserved for knights and then noble families. But, beginning in the thirteenth century,
they began to be adopted by the lower classes as well. They have been continually represented on a variety of media,
inherited and honoured throughout history since their inception and are no less important or valued today.
