Sometimes daunting in its complexity, heraldry is a subject which is nonetheless inseparable from the fabric of English history, and understanding its basic nature is essential for those who would get to grips with the Mediaeval world in all its colour and beauty. This book brings clarity and simplicity to heraldry, and explains how understanding its nature can help us research our own family roots. Stephen Friar, a Fellow of the Heraldry Society, expertly traces heraldry from its origins; reveals the hidden meanings of heraldic devices; and interprets its sometimes arcane language. Illustrated by more than 100 black and white photos, 16 pages of colour illustrations and magnificent line drawings, this splendid introduction is indispensible to both the expert historian and the inquiring amateur alilke.
