The Story and Language of Heraldry
Author: Stephen SlaterPublisher: Southwater Publishing
ISBN: 9781780192161
Category : Reference
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
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.
