2 What is a coat of arms? The Coat of Arms Arose in about the 12th century, around the time of the Crusades. A knight dressed in armour from head to foot could not be recognized by friend or enemy, so a new method of identification became necessary. This resulted in special markings being painted on the knight's shield, as it was the largest piece of equipment the knight had, and as the shield was easily seen,  people could see who was who at a distance on the battlefield. The markings were also embroidered on the tunic he wore over his Armour. The term comes from the design being on the tunic, hence 'Coat', this design was usually given to a knight once he became entitled to bear Arms, hence we get the term "coat of arms". The design was also used as a uniform for the servants of the household.
