Heraldic Design

<< < (3/27) > >>

Aiden of Oreland:
I also suppose I could start out with a very basic design. For I know that heraldry does change when you are awarded something. Such as a stripe or a flag. Also would you recommend a heraldry leaning on the side of German instead of Irish because there were technically no knights from Ireland. And I mean warrior knights not modern knighted men. I ask this for my origin is Irish and German and dome Russian. Did Russia have "Knights in shiny armor" because I may look into that and find family coat of arms.

Sir Martyn:
They did indeed - look up St. Vladimir of Kyivan Rus - Vladimir and his boyars (roughly equivalent to landed knights) routed some evil in their day - including thwarting the plans of the legendary witch Baba Yaga.  To see some great examples of current reproductions of the medieval arms and armor of that culture look up www.armstreet.com

Aiden of Oreland:
Yes i forgot about armstreet. They have nice costum armor. Isnt tht man the insperation for Dracula? Haha baba yaga, bartag the magnificent

Sir James A:
Dracula's inspiration was Vlad Tepes, aka Vlad the Impaler. Different people.

Aiden of Oreland:
Thats right, my bad.
