This informative book looks not only at the medieval world in which
heraldry thrived, but also at its language, the elaborate system of
coded messages it conveyed, and its inextricable link with
chivalry. Featuring more than 700 illustrations, it also covers
both the larger aspects of heraldry and everyday heraldic uses, and
contains a comprehensive glossary. The book examines the history of
heraldry from medieval tournaments to modern applications around
the world - its origins and development, heralds and the Law of
Arms, the coat of arms, messages and declarations, along with
explanations of the applications of heraldry from royal heraldry
and nobility, civic and state heraldry, and global heraldry, to the
continuity of heraldry today - and includes a detailed and easily
understood explanation of the language of heraldry. The
international uses of heraldry and the way different countries have
interpreted it are explored, covering most of Europe and the
Americas as well as Scandinavia, Africa and Japan. An informed look
at all aspects of heraldry, this book is lavishly illustrated
throughout with fascinating archive material, and specially
commissioned artworks. Novices and experts alike will benefit from
the breadth of the content of this masterly history.
