Description:

Ubiquitous in the fabric of ancient churches, castles & houses, in documents, & on monuments & stained glass, heraldry represents a treasure-house of information for both the historian & genealogist, but one which often remains closed due to its apparent complexity & inaccessibility. Here Stephen Friar presents the subject in simple English, explaining its origins & significance in the lives of noble families, the interpretation of heraldic devices, & the symbols themselves. The text is complemented by over 108 B&W photos, 80 line drawings, & 16 pages of color illustrations. Illustrated glossary. Reading list.
