World Of Heraldry

How I assemble a coat-of-arms sometimes called a crest or shield along with the heraldry that goes with the coat-of-arms. In the video 'Coat-Of-Arms 1' I will discuss the beginnings of heraldry and it's march through history. A coat of arms is a unique heraldic design on an escutcheon (i.e. shield),surcoat, or tabard. The coat of arms on an escutcheon forms the central element of the full heraldic achievement which consists of shield, supporters, crest, and motto. The design is a symbol unique to an individual person or family (except in the UK), corporation, or state. In future videos I will assemble a coat-of-arms suggested by comments and send the file, ready to print, to the person who originally suggested it.
