The heraldic terms used in the descriptions are
Alternate: Alternate quarters: A term applied to the first and fourth
quarters on an escutcheon, which are generally of the same kind. Also
applied to the second and forth , which also similarly resemble each other.
Anchor: In heraldry the anchor is an emblem of hope.
Argent: (Ar'-jent) White. The silvery color on coats of arms. In the
arms of princes it is sometimes called lune, and in those of peers
pearl. In engravings it is generally represented by the natural color
of the paper.
Armed: (1) Furnished with arms. (2) Adding to anything that which
will give it greater strength or efficiency. (3) The term armed of
applies to a beast of prey when his teeth and claws are differently
colored from the rest of his body. It applies also to predatory birds
when their talons and beaks are differently colored from the rest of
the body. (4) Armed at all points, in days gone by, meant a man
covered with armor except his face.
Azure: Blue. Used especially in describing the escutcheons of
gentlemen beneath the degree of baron. The same color on a nobleman's
coat is called sapphire, from the stone, and that on the coat of a
sovereign prince Jupiter, from the planet of that name. Engravers
represent azure in heraldry by horizontal lines.
Bar: An ordinary which crosses the shield horizontally. It differs
from a fesse in that it occupies only one-fifth of the field. There
is room for but four bars on a shield. BARS GEMEL: Bars placed
parallel to each other. A bar with closets placed in couples. IN BAR:
Charges arranged in two or more rows. It differs from in fesse in
that the latter term signifies charges in a single row.
Barbed: Bearded. Usually specifically of the arrow; also, of the five
leaflets in the compound leaf of some roses.
Base: The lower part of a shield. Specifically, the width of a bar
parted off from the lower part of the shield by a line horizontally
drawn. (Sometimes called basc-bar, baste and plain point.)
Beaked: When the beak and legs of a bird are of a different tincture
from the body it is said to be beaked and membered of that tincture.
Bend: One of the ordinaries. It is formed of two lines, and is drawn
from the dexter chief to the sinister base point of the escutcheon.
It generally occupies one-fifth of the field; but formerly it was one-fifth
only when plain, and one-third when charged. The bend is said to
have been derived from the border on a woman's cap known as a bend.
It is possible that its origin was a representation of the baldric.
According to some, the origin was a scaling ladder. In the beginning
of heraldry the bend was a mark of cadency, but later became an
honorable ordinary. "The diminutives of the bend are the
bendlet, garter or gartier, which is half its width; the cost or
cottice, which is one-fourth; and the riband, which is
one-eighth.": (Gloss. of Her.) BEND SINISTER: An ordinary
resembling the bend in form, but extending from the sinister chief to
the dexter base. The diminutives of the bend sinister are the scarpe,
which is half its width; and the baton, half as wide as the scarpe
and couped.
Bendlet: A diminutive of the bend. Generally it is half the width of
the bend; but sometimes it appears much narrower. In ancient heraldry
a bendlet azure on a coat was a mark of cadency.
Boar: The boar is one of the ancient charges of heraldry. With the
exception of the lion, it is the only beast borne in the roll of
Henry III.
Bordure: (Bor'-dure) The border of an escutcheon, occupying one-fifth
of the shield. It is sometimes the mark of a younger branch of a
family; and, again, when charged, may refer to maternal descent,
especially in ancient heraldry. When used in an impaled coat the
bordure is not continued around the inner side.
Bouget: (Bou'-jet) A bucket for carrying water. It is an early
charge, and is identified with the names of Ros and Rose.
Canton: (Can'-ton) A division of the field placed in the upper dexter
corner. It is classed by some heraldic writers as one of the
honorable ordinaries; but, strictly speaking, it is a diminutive of
the Quarter, being two-thirds the area of that ordinary. However, in
the roll of Henry III the quarter appears in several coats which in
later rolls are blazoned as cantons. The canton, like the quarter, is
an early bearing, and is always shown with straight lines.
Chevron: (shev'-ron): One of the honorable ordinaries. It is rafter
shaped, and its breadth is one-fifth of the field. Its diminutives
are the Chevronel, which is one-fifth of its breadth; and the Couple-close,
one-quarter.
Chief Point: The uppermost part of the shield, and can be either
dexter, middle or sinister.
Chief: The head or upper part of the shield, containing a third of
the field, and is divided off by one line, either straight or
crenellé (indented). When one chief is borne upon another it
is called surmounting.
Close: The wings of a bird close to the body.
Cock: This fowl is generally borne as a crest, but occasionally
appears on the shield. When the beak, comb, wattles and spur are
given, he is said to be beaked, wattled (or jewlapped) and armed.
Collared: A charge around the neck
Compone: A border, bend, etc., composed of a row of squares
consisting of colors and metals.
Counter: In an opposite direction; contrary to the usual position.
Sometimes used to denote an animal facing the sinister side of the shield.
Couped: (koop'd) Said of an animal having the head or any limb cut
clean off from the body. A head couped is a head having the
appearance of being cut off with a sharp knife.
Crescent: A bearing resembling the half moon with the points turned
up. When used as a mark of cadency it denotes the second son. When
the points of the crescent face dexter it is increscent; toward
sinister, decrescent.
Cubit Arm: An arm cut off at the elbow.
Debruised: (de-bruzd") Applied to a bend when placed over an
animal in such a manner as to seem to restrain its freedom.
Demi: Said of any charge borne half, as a demi-lion. (Also written deny.)
DEXTER CHIEF POINT: A point in the upper right-hand corner of the shield.
DEXTER HAND: The right hand
Dexter: The right; situated on the right. The dexter side of the
shield is that opposite the left hand of the spectator.
Difference: Some figure or mark added to a coat of arms to
distinguish one family from another. Modern marks of difference, or
Marks of Cadence are: 1. Label 2. Crescent 7. Rose 3. Mullet 8. Cross
Moline 4. Martlet 9. Octofoil 5. Annulet 6. Fleur-de-lis
Displayed: Said of any bird of prey borne erect, with the wings
expanded. Applied especially to the eagle.
Eagle: The eagle plays an important part in heraldry in almost every
part of the globe. Its earliest rise to popularity, however, was in
Germany, where, after it became the emblem of the empire, it was
adopted by some of the princes and many of the nobles. A
double-headed eagle is also the emblem of Russia and Austria. On the
roll of Henry III the eagle appears but twice, but in the roll of
Edward II there are forty-three examples of it. Nobles of the Holy
Roman Empire place their shields on the breast of an eagle, examples
of which may be seen in the arms of the Duke of Marlborough , the
Earl of Denbigh and Lord Arundel of Wardour. The imperial eagle is
invariably represented as two-headed, the origin of which is obscure.
Charlemagne is said to have used it to signify that in his hands was
the government of both the Roman and the German empires. The eagle is
generally borne displayed; that is, upright, breast to the front, and
legs, tail and wings expanded (commonly called a "spread
eagle"). The Bald Eagle,
Erased: (e-ras'd) A term applied to the head of an animal or other
bearing having the appearance of being forcibly torn off, leaving
jagged or uneven ends.
Ermine: A pattern representing the skin of the ermine and is white
with black spots
Erminois: A pattern representing the skin of the ermine and is gold
or yellow with black spots
Falcon: The Falcon makes its appearance frequently in heraldry. When
it is borne with jesses (leather thongs about its legs), a hood and
bells, it is said to be "jessed, hooded and belled." When
represented as feeding, it is "at prey." The falcon is also
known as a gerfalcon, peregrine falcon and tiercelet.
Fess: (fes) One of the ordinaries. A strip or band placed
horizontally across the shield, occupying one-third of the field. Its
diminutives are the bar, the barrulet and the closet.
Field: The surface of a shield upon which the charges or bearings are
blazoned; or, of each separate coat when the shield is quartered or impaled.
Flory: A bearing adorned with fleur-de-lis, trefoils, etc. (Also
written flory, floretty, flury and fleurettee.)
Garb: A sheaf of wheat. This was a popular bearing, especially in
Cheshire. Sometimes it is banded of a different color. When the garb
is used to designate any other grain this must be specified.
Guardant: Applied to a beast represented full-faced, or looking at
the spectator, whether the animal be rampant, passant or otherwise. A
beast of the chase: such as the hart, stag or hind: when depicted in
this attitude is described as at gaze.
Gules: (guelz) Red. This color on engraved escutcheons is represented
by vertical lines.
Harp: The harp is the emblem of Ireland. Its origin as the badge of
Erin is obscure, but probably alludes to the instrument of Brian Boroimhe.
IN CHIEF: At the top of a shield
Indented: Notched like the teeth of a saw. Applied to partition
lines, as well as to some of the ordinaries. It differs from the
dancette in that the notches in indented are smaller and apply only
to the outer edge, whereas dancette affects the whole ordinary.
Invected: (-vek'-ted) The opposite of engrailed. Having a border or
outline with the points turning inward toward the ordinary and the
convexity toward the field.
Langued: (langd) Tongued; having the tongue visible. Applied to the
tongue of a bird or beast when of a different tincture from that of
the body.
Lion: The lion is the most popular beast in heraldry. He appears in
the arms of Great Britian, Denmark, Spain, Holland, Bohemia, Saxony
and numerous lesser countries. As early as 1127 Henry I used the lion
as an ornament on a shield. Of the 918 bannerets of Edward II, 225
bore lions. The early English heralds seem to have confused the lion
with the leopard. While never drawn spotted as the real leopard, he
was described in most attitudes as leo-pardé, or a lion as a
leopard. The lion is drawn in about 30 attitudes, but it is seldom he
is seen in other than rampant or passant.
Membered: A term applied to a bird when its legs are of a different
tincture from that of the bird itself.
Mullet: A bearing resembling a five-pointed star. It is sometimes
called a spur rowel, but it was in use long before the rowelled spur.
When used as a difference it denotes the third son.
Or: Gold. It is generally represented by yellow in printing. In
engraving it is denoted by small dots or points spread all over the
bearing or field.
Out of: Signifies rising from, as "out of a ducal coronet an eagle."
Pale: One of the nine honorable ordinaries. It is a vertical line,
set upright in the middle of the shield and occupying one-third of
the field. It seldom contains more than three charges.
Passant: (pas'-sant) Walking; said of any animal, except beasts of
the chase, when represented as walking, with the dexter paw raised.
The same attitude in the case of a stag, hart, etc., would be trippant.
PER PALE: Divided by a perpendicular line.
Pheon: (fee'on) A bearing representing the head of a broad arrow or
javelin, with long barbs which are engrailed on the inner edge. The
pheon was, like the modern mace, carried before royalty by a
sergeant-at-arms. It became a royal mark, and is still used in Great
Britain to denote crown property, being termed the Broad R, or broad arrow.
Pierced: Applied to any bearing which is perforated so as to show the
field under it.
Pride: A term applied to the peacock, turkey cock and other birds
which spread their tails in a circular form and drop their wings; as,
"A peacock in his pride."
Proper: Represented in its natural color. Said of charges; as, "a
lion proper."
Quartering: The arrangement of two or more coats of arms on one
shield to form one bearing, as for instance, the royal arms of
England, where those of the several countries are conjoined; when a
man inherits from both father and mother the right to bear arms; when
an alliance of one family with the heiress of another is to be
perpetuated. When only two coats are quartered on one shield, as in
the case of marriage, the first and fourth quarters display the arms
of the husband; the second and third, those of the wife. In
quartering arms, the shield may be divided into as many squares as
necessary, and the first coat (that of the bearer) may be repeated or
not to make up an even number.
Quarterly: Placed in quarters; an escutcheon divided into quarters.
Rampant: (ramp'-ant) Said of a beast of prey, as a lion, rising with
fore paws in the air., as if attacking. The right fore leg and the
right hind leg should be raised higher than the left. Unless
otherwise specified, the animal faces dexter.
Ringed: Provided with a ring or rings. (Said of the falcon.)
Rose: The Rose, which is popular in English heraldry, is generally
borne singly and full-faced, with five petals, barbs and seeds.
Sable: The tincture black. In engraving it is represented by
perpendicular and horizontal lines crossed. In black and white
illustrations it is shown as solid black.
Saltire: (sal'-teer) One of the honorable ordinaries. It is made in
the form of a St. Andrew's cross, or the letter X. Its breadth should
be one-third of the field. The saltire is popular in Scottish heraldry.
Seeded: Represented with seeds of a different tincture, such as the
rose, lily, etc., when it is said to be seeded of that color.
Slipped: Applied to a flower or branch depicted as torn from the stalk.
Tressure: (tresh'-ur) A kind of border or hem, being, in fact, a
diminutive of the orle, of which it is one-half its breadth. It
passes around the field, following the shape and form of the
escutcheon, whatever shape it may be;usually borne double. Being used
in the royal arms of Scotland, it is naturally popular in Scottish
heraldry. TRESSURE FLEURY: A tressure ornamented with fleur-de-lis on
one side, with their ends inward. TRESSURE FLEURY-COUNTER-FLEURY: A
double tressure ornamented with fleur-de-lis on both sides, the
flowers being reversed alternately. In the arms of Scotland, as in
nearly all examples, the flower is divided by the border.
Trippant: (trip'-pant) Having the right forefoot lifted, the other
three remaining on the ground, as if trotting. This term is applied
to beasts of chase, as a buck, hart, etc., and is the same as
passant, which is applied to beasts of prey.
Vert: (verrt) Green. It is represented in engraving by diagonal lines
from dexter to sinister.
Vol: A pair of wings, often seen in the crest of continental European
coats of arms
