Heraldry and Rolls of Arms

[Sir Edward]

Historically, particularly in the earlier parts of the period, heraldry was often more geometric with maybe only one or two charges.

Take a look at the Dering Roll of Arms (circa 1270-1280) below:

I don't know how accurate this is, but I came across someone's attempt at a roll of arms of knights from the battle of Agincourt:

Interesting that it's for sale as a print, but it has grey artifacts from cut-and-pasting next to some of the shields. Odd that the person didn't clean that up.

[Sir Edward]

Another interesting one to look at:

[Sir Patrick]

I look the look of that second one.  A little more intersting than just shields IMO.

[Sir Edward]

I love how the one in the lower left corner has a sword hilt as his crest. It looks like he's been impaled through the head.

Sir Edward or I can add you to the list if you would like, just let us know the heraldry or send us a picture if you have one.

[Sir Edward]

It's not so much a roll of arms, but we have the "Knight Pages" button up at the top, where forum members can upload some pictures and write up something about themselves, or their persona, etc.

Though nowadays I draw it with a Skeggox, and the 'point pointed' more like Mount Rose. (sorry, best pic I could find)

As long as you don't create a pirate persona, too - because we'd have to call you Sailor Moon, and no self-respecting man should wear a Sailor Moon costume.
