Heraldry is a living survival of the great medieval world of European chivalry. First introduced as a means of identification in battle and in tournaments, it gradually spread to society as a whole. Today the knights-in-armour and many of the families who bore these coats of arms have disappeared, but the heraldic tradition survives in the royal arms, flags, emblems, road signs, sports badges and corporate logos of the modern world.

Born on the medieval battlefields and tournament arenas, heraldry was the most efficient way to identify knights hidden beneath helmets and breastplates. This book unravels the meaning of its symbolism and metaphors, offering explanations of the often skilful designs and witty mottoes. Heraldry has long excited the imagination and can still inspire admiration, jealousy or derision. This book captures the essence of an ancient sign system, explains clearly its special language, and presents an age-old subject in a refreshingly new light. Its comprehensive glossary and accessible approach will enlighten many amateur genealogists and historians.
