Heraldry's unfamiliar terminology tends to discourage people from learning more about this fascinating subject.
But heraldic language is essential for the precise description of a coat of arms and is soon learned with a little practice. This book provides an introduction, explaining each term with illustrations and text and expounding the basic principles to explain what a coat of arms consists of and the rules that govern its arrangement.
You will find that heraldry is an intriguing study as a colourful art in its own right as well as for its relevance to genealogy and other subjects.
Jacqueline Fearn taught history and wrote for the county magazine 'Bucks Life' before joining Shire Publications as commissioning Editor. She has lectured on bygones and appeared on television explaining how some of them were used.
