Coat of Arms and Heraldry

Coat of Arms and Heraldry

September 18, 2025

During medieval Europe, coats of arms were unique heraldic designs granted to individuals or families, displayed on shields, banners, or seals. Governed by institutions like England's College of Arms, these symbols used colors, animals, and patterns like lions for courage or chevrons for protection to signify lineage or status. Genealogists today use heraldry to trace noble or knightly ancestry, though myths persist that all families with a surname share a crest. Researching a specific coat of arms requires verifying its grant to a direct ancestor, often through archival records.
