First comprehensive study of heraldic badges, from their initial
use in the fourteenth century to their decline in the early
seventeenth. Heraldic badges occur in a wide variety of contexts -
costume, furnishings, armour, warfare, tournaments, seals, flags,
plate and monuments. However, despite their importance, and
although many illustrations and descriptions survive from the late
fifteenth century onwards, they have usually been treated as an
incidental part of heraldry. This monumental work therefore fills a
serious gap in the literature of heraldry, providing a
comprehensive overview ofthe subject from the fourteenth to the
seventeenth century. The first volume discusses the nature and use
of heraldic badges, and our sources of information, while the
second is a dictionary of heraldic badges, divided into two
separate parts covering royal and non-royal badges. This is
followed by ordinaries of heraldic badges and livery colours in the
third volume. There are also extracts from unpublished records, a
bibliography and full indexes. Overall, this is an indispensable
resource for anyone studying the visual inheritance of the English
past. Published for the Society of Antiquaries
