Uncovering the History and Significance of Armorials

Armorials are a collection of coats of arms and other heraldic devices borne by individuals, families, or corporate bodies. They were originally created to identify knights and their followers on the battlefield, but later became a symbol of nobility and status. Armorials can be found in various forms such as paintings, sculptures, stained glass windows, and printed books. They typically include a description of the coat of arms, along with the name and lineage of the bearer.
