Volume II

Appendix - chapter, figure number - content

The present work is the result of many years of studying medieval armorials (a.k.a. rolls of arms). It has been a pleasure not only enjoying the imagery present both in the description and in the artistic execution of the coats of arms and the often fanciful crests, but also to read and analyze them in relation to the political, military and cultural context in which they were compiled. Editing armorials conceived in different regions and at different times prompted speculations on how and by whom it was made, and the current explanations became unsatisfactory. It also showed a need for a survey of the relations between a substantial part of the sources referred to in modern papers and handbooks.
