What is a Coat of Arms

The custom of using a family coat of arms, or family crest, has been prevalent in Europe since the beginning of the 12th century when knights started adding designs, images and symbols to their armour. This helped soldiers to tell the difference between their own army and the enemy on a battlefield. It also aided people in identifying the knights apart during the tournaments.

These symbols are oftentimes called "achievements of arms" or coats of arms, and the understanding of these has come to be known as heraldry. The vocabulary used to illustrate the elements of a coat of arms is called "blazonry". A great many of these words and phrases stem from the French language. A coat of arms is the symbol or badge of a family, person or even organisation. designs on a coat of arms symbolised the achievements of the family and were passed on from generation to generation. A coat of arms is still put together by people called heralds, and the process is known as heraldry.

You are incorrect Germany Finland Switzerland Sweeden Norway France were and still are allowed to but always have ASSUMED ARMS or Buergher arms as they are called. The USA does not nor did it ever regulate heraldry correct but neither does Australia and New Zealand. Canada eastern europe ice land macedonia Czeceslovakia folks ASSUME ARMS Canada has an Heraldic Authority but people are still free to assume arms only in Scotland and England do they heavily regulate them but then again communism is what it is lol.

This has cheery, upbeat music. It should have dark and epic music, like Game of Thrones' soundtrack. That would be more fitting, imo.
