Heraldry: What is a coat of arms and what was it for?
Dresed head to foot in plate steel, how can you tell one knight from another? Knights wanted to be known for their deeds, and they wanted their troops to know whose orders to follow. In this episode, Jason explores heraldry and the role that heralds themselves played on the battlefield and beyond. #heraldry #knight #medieval

Intro to Heraldry: Part I - What is a "coat of arms"?
Part 1 of an introductory series to heraldry. In this video, we discuss the history, purpose, and context in which heraldry was used, and we unwrap the terminology about what "coats of arms" and "family crests" really are.

Following videos will discuss tinctures and colors, ordinaries and charges, blazonry, and guides on how to make your own arms.

The Proud Symbolism of Heraldry: Why It Matters; Why It is Fun!
A presentation by Laurent Ferri, curator of pre-1800 collections in the Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections, adjunct associate professor of comparative literature, and member of the graduate field in the Department of Medieval Studies.
Rare and beautiful materials from the Cornell's collections will be on display. They document the importance of heraldry to study wars, tournaments, family dynamics and structures, or social identification and control, but also—and perhaps, more unexpectedly—art patronage, cartography, finance, and even pharmacopoeia in Europe from c. 1150-1550, with particular emphasis on the following regions: England, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, and Spain.
This event is cosponsored by Medieval Studies and Cornell University Library.

Heraldry is the practice of devising, granting, displaying, describing, and recording coats of arms and heraldic badges. Officers of arms (Kings of Arms, Heralds and Pursuviants) practice heraldry and also rule on questions of rank or protocol.
The origins of heraldry stretch back into ancient times. Warriors often decorated their shields with patterns and mythological motifs. Army units of the Roman Empire were identified by the distinctive markings on their shields (see left). These were not heraldic in the medieval sense, as they were associated with military units, not individuals or families.
Truly heraldic devices seem to have been first used in Carolingian times. Seals and banners confirm that they were being used in the Flemish area of Europe during the reign of Charlemagne (768–814 AD).
The emergence of heraldry as we know it today was linked to the need to distinguish participants quickly and easily in combat. Distinguishing devices were used on surcoats ("coats of arms"), shields, and caparisoned horses, and it would have been natural for knights to use the same devices as those already used on their banners and seals. A formal system of rules developed into ever more complex forms of heraldry to ensure that each knight's arms were unique (at least within the same jurisdiction).

Part 2 of an introductory series to heraldry. In this video, we break down arms into their constituent parts. We list the most common tinctures, charges, ordinaries, and divisions, and then we go on to learn about blazonry by making a few of our own arms.
The following video will discuss the achievement as a whole beyond just the shield. Crests, mantling, helmets, supporters, and all those extra frills will be covered in the next video.

In the last video, we discussed the history, purpose, and context in which heraldry was used, and we unwrapped the terminology about what "coats of arms" and "family crests" really are.
