And on another note. I promised myself a tattoo for my 30th birthday. Economics interviened but as soon as I have the cash I'm getting a tatto of my arms on either my left or right shoulder.

I vaguely recall something about "the right to heraldic arms" in some sort of declaration or something a couple centuries ago.

Not Sailor Moon!  lol

I think Arduini might do it!  Definitely not Gigli...that doesn't even sound right.  lol

 and here we have Sir William "Billy" Gigli "The Moon Knight" of Wetwang, East Yorkshire, Son of Lord Gaylord Gigli of Penistone, South Yorkshire charging headfirst into every play upon words, effeminate popular culture reference, and unfortunate modern pronunciation he can unintentionally discover.

haha  ;D

There is one site I came across during a break at work that has a lot of German coats of arms of the Counts. It's in a "wappen buch" and I think I found it by googgling wappen book.

I have found a lot of other sites with coats of arms, but a lot of times I forget to bookmark them.

This is a really well researched site for all things heraldic...

The De Rodes arms turn up on a couple of the rolls  ;)

There is something missing in this thread...it would appear that I've responded twice...but the second one seems nonsense.

I thik we may have been discussing Knightly monikers or sobriquets earlier in the thread, and you may have stumbled upon those two rather unfortunate ones....

I for one couldn't resist posting my own bit of nonsense, juxtapositioning that with several real English town names of equal hilarious misfortune.  ;D

BTW the SCA no longer needs worry about crossing heraldry with legitimate arms as we got the OK from the UK & French organizations that do this stuff.
