Framed Coat of Arms Prints
Coat of arms were used in medieval times for the protection of knights and their identification. They were also called coat armory. The coat of arm is just the central part of the heraldic achievement, which has a shield, two supporters, a crest and a motto.
Each design is unique for a certain person or a family, large company or a state, as its traditional symbol of heritage.
The first usage of coat of arms was made by Romans, and their symbols depicted on large shields presented military units. A more widespread application of coat of arms was in 12th century and was used by knights and feudal lords. A century later, coat of arms was spread from battlefields to royal families and it became a representation of the cultural heritage of the family, and was passed from generation to generation during different time periods.
Usage of coat of arms was regulated by law, and not everyone could use it. It was mostly used by European aristocratic members of society. Later, the usage of coat of arms was spread to influential people from the Church, to towns, to universities and large trading companies. The usage of coat of arms was a predecessor and a reason for making of the flags. If you want to feel the historic notion that every one of these heraldic symbols carry with them through time, be sure to allow the framed coat of arms art fulfill your living space and show you the energy and the feelings that each symbol carried inside its own design during different centuries.
