Medieval Heraldry Paperback / softback
by Terence Wise
Illustrated by Richard Hook
Part of the Men-at-Arms series
Paperback / softback
Description
Coats of arms were at first used only by kings and princes, then by their great nobles, but by the mid-13th century arms were being used extensively by the lesser nobility, knights and those who later came to be styled gentlemen.
In some countries the use of arms spread even to merchants, townspeople and the peasantry.
From the mundane to the fantastic, from simple geometric patterns to elaborate mythological beasts, this fascinating work by Terence Wise explores the origins and appearance of medieval heraldic devices in an engagingly readable style accompanied by numerous illustrations including eight full page colour plates by Richard Hook.
