Coat of Arms
The usage of coat of arms came about around the 12th century and had a strong military purpose. Soldiers and knights wore distinguished armor with the King’s coat of arms during battle, so they could designate which army they belonged to and avoid killing a fellow soldier; much like today’s military soldiers who wear unique uniforms for their branch of service.
However, in the 15th century, knights, wealthy individuals, and persons that were approved by the reigning king were allowed to design their own coat of arms for their armor. The act of designing, displaying, and recording coats of arms for the purpose of indentifying a family or individual is known as heraldry. Eventually, only the coat of arms that passed through and filed through the College of Arms were considered accurate.
Traditional coats of arms were most prevalent in Germany, France, England, Spain, and Italy, but all the countries in Europe, Scandinavia, and Asia adopted the usage of coat of arms eventually.
Once you see your own coat of arms, you will discover characteristics that your ancestors were known for that maybe you see in yourself or family members and it can be a very captivating experience. We have many products to choose from to proudly display your coat of arms for all to see.
