The Family Coat of Arms
Sometime during the twelfth century the concept of heraldry came into prominent use. Knights began to have their shields and other equipment decorated with marks of identification. These marks and colors evolved into a way to identify the bearer as a member of a certain family, clan, or allegiance to a feudal lord.
The lords, and their knights and all their followers displayed the lord's coat of arms on pennants, shields, and battle dress. Families and clans of families were identified by these symbols.
Such personal signs sprang up all over Europe. As time passed, the rules of developing these identification symbols became solidified and the art of heraldry became a science as well as an art.
The major elements of a coat of arms are:
The Crest
The Mantling
The Shield
The Supporters and Base or Ground
The Motto
