Coats of arms were at first used only by kings and princes, then by
their great nobles, but by the mid-13th century arms were being
used extensively by the lesser nobility, knights and those who
later came to be styled gentlemen. In some countries the use of
arms spread even to merchants, townspeople and the peasantry. From
the mundane to the fantastic, from simple geometric patterns to
elaborate mythological beasts, this fascinating work by Terence
Wise explores the origins and appearance of medieval heraldic
devices in an engagingly readable style accompanied by numerous
illustrations including eight full page colour plates by Richard
Hook.
