THE COAT OF ARMS
V. Ryan © 2004 - 2021
Kings, Lords, Dukes etc... Have a Coat of Arms that
represents the achievement of an individual, family or community. It is
usually in the form of a shield and can include a crest and a motto.
They were originally used as a way of distinguishing between warriors on
a battle field. The use of Coats of Arms became popular during the
Crusades. Coats of Arms are granted in England by the College of Arms
and in Scotland by the Lyon King-at-Arms. Corporations, Schools and
other organisations can purchase official Coats of Arms from these
awarding bodies. Coats of Arms are normally composed of drawings which
represent the family or person. For example, a rich Lord may want his
Coat of Arms to include an illustration of pots of gold. A warrior may
want to include a sword or other weapons. A philosopher may want an
illustration of a large book and a Bishop may want a Bible to be central
to his Coat of Arms. PDF FILE - CLICK HERE FOR SIMILAR EXERCISE AS ONE SHOWN BELOW |
