Coats of arms
Heraldry is the science of describing and creating coats of arms. This
science is very ancient and has very specific rules and vocabulary.
Heraldry appeared in 12
th
century in the tournaments and jousting. The
knights needed a shield in order to protect themselves. Little by little these
shields were decorated with symbols so that the knight could be identified
easily.
In the 13
th
century the designs became hereditary and every noble family
had his own design.
