Exploring Heraldry / Family Coats of Arms

A BRIEF HISTORY A BRIEF HISTORY …. There are literally hundreds of different symbols (or charges) that can appear on coats of arms. The colors that are chosen and even the shape of the shield itself can have significance for the Family, Clan or Sept that was to bear the arms.

Meanings of symbols

Elements of a Coat of Arms Shield: The colours and charges (lions, designs) that appear on the shield are a part of the official blazon, but the shape of the shield is not. Shield shapes vary according to the geographical origin as well as the time period. Crest: Also a part of the official blazon, the crest is whatever appears above the helm. (There is not always a crest for every coat of arms.) Helm: Not a part of the official blazon, the helmet varies with the bearer's rank, the century represented, or the herald's / artist's preference. Wreath: Not a part of the official blazon, the wreath usually consists of the primary colour and metal. Mantle / Mantling: Not a part of the official blazon (except often colours are specified), the design varies with the herald's / artist's preference. Represents the cloth that hung from the wreath and protected the back of the head / neck, even though it may often be depicted more like the leaves of a plant.
