An in-depth study of historic and contemporary usage of heraldry around the world. Includes an illuminating examination of the language and symbolism of heraldry. Richly illustrated throughout, with clear diagrams, stunning photography and exquisite artwork Born on the medieval battlefields and tournament arenas, heraldry has become an international tradition, permeating royal rituals and regalia, the military and countless other institutions.
