Typical Coat of Arms detailsWhat is Heraldry, Heraldry began in Europe. When armour came in use during battles across europe, warriors were faced with a problem. Encased in metal suits with visors closed all warriors looked alike. The only way that one warrior could be identified from another was by the design on his shield. The shield was therefore paramount in identifiying which side you were on. In early days the shield decoration was basic but it ould be seen over a distance. The same design was embroided on the surcoat which was worn over the armour, this was called the Coat of Arms (Blazon) . As years went by the decoration on the shield or garments got to be more elaborate but the purpose was the same - identification.
The Coat of
Arms is typically broken down into 7 segments these are as follows, Crest - The
terminology of "Crest" is probably the most misused word in Heraldry.
It is assumed that the whole Coat of Arms is called a Crest, this is not
the case. The Crest is a small decoration which sits on the helm.
Most commonly the crest may be an arrangement of feathers known as the panache.
As time went by the crest was decorated to be more fanciful. Please
review the Coat
of Arms dictionary for full details of parts which make-up the Coat of Arms/Crest Shield - Also referred to as the Coat
of Arms to the individual it was granted, the shield comes in many different
shapes, sizes, colours and patterns and was the most common
way of expressing who you were in battle. Surname - This signifies the
name of the bearer of the Coat of Arms. Motto - Most commonly written in
Latin, mottoes are suspected to have started out as battle cries before
conflict. Helm - Basically this is derived from the helmets worn during
conflict, the helm type and position signifies the rank of the individual
bearing the arms. The helm is roughly broken down to 4 types, Sovereign,
Peer, Baronet or Knight and Esquire/Gentleman. Helm's that are facing
forwards (towards you) signifies Royalty, Baronet's or knights and when the
helm if facing sideways it signifies Peer, Esquire or Gentleman. Mantle - The
mantlin is the name given to the folds of fabric which fall from the helm and
drapes over the shield. The name is taken from the mantlet or short cape
worn by Crusaders. Used for many purposes such as keeping burning
sunlight of the metal and helmet. Torse - This is twised material which
is made up of the colours of the shield. The torse sits on top of the
helm, and is used to bind the mantle.
