Author: Michel Pastoureau
Publisher: New Horizons S.
ISBN: 9780500300749
Category : Devices (Heraldry)
Languages : en
Pages : 143
Book Description
Heraldry is a living survival of the great medieval world of European chivalry. First introduced as a means of identification in battle and in tournaments, it gradually spread to society as a whole. Today the knights-in-armour and many of the families who bore these coats of arms have disappeared, but the heraldic tradition survives in the royal arms, flags, emblems, road signs, sports badges and corporate logos of the modern world.
