Great video very informative. You got a few strange people commenting. I was not insulted seeing you make your own heraldry. You just did it for fun and to show what commonly went into making one. Would be nice if people stopped trying to ruin anything that is positive and informative. You handled it all with class and maturity.

Symbolism may not be inherent to heraldry, but its still a very useful design tool to help you condense rich and complex themes into a simple and recognisable design.

I believe when more than one copy of a charge exists on the shield, the way they are laid out should be explained in the blazon, e. g. At 10:18 the three crescents would be described as something like "in fess two and one" to show that they are not all in the same row. Also with the fish at 13:14, they should be something like "three fish naiant proper in pale".
Good catch! I would say the default position of three charges would be already assumed to be 2 and 1, but you’re spot-on about the three fishes naiant proper in pale. Thanks!
@@Ralchire Cheers! Very good presentation. As per the layout of charges, I (perhaps because I'm a programmer) personally believe that it should be described in as much detail as possible. So I would even blazon the three towers in your coat of arms as "in bend". But maybe that's just me.
14:12 "per bend argent and azure" _on its own_ is Zürich (canton and city) in switzerland. in heraldry you can use such patterns of other arms and usually you have to (BUT add your own distinctions !); all simple designs were taken already :)
You are awesome! I got done reading this book on heraldry that explained the history of heraldry and other stuff. But you perfectly explained and summed up everything I have learned about heraldry so far! Thank you 😊
Excellent descriptions! Love the way you change up the “charges.” Of course I get a little lost in the names, being my first time here. But, wow, lots to learn!
This has really helped me make my own shield of arms for a kingdom in my Dungeons and Dragons campaign, and all my players were very impressed. Although, i have trouble naming my final design. This is what i came up with however. Bend Sinister Gules and Vert, in chief a tower Argent and in base three barley grain Or. (Now for the shield itself, i am pretty sure i am correct, although i can't figure out where to tell the reader that the metal separating Gules and Vert is Or, and i don't know if i should define the colour of the tower and barley, or simply end it with "all proper". Now to continue with supporters:) Above the helmet of his rank mantled Vert double Or, a boar's head Gules is set for a crest. Supporters: on Dexter, a goose guardant proper, and on Sinister a Boar guardant Gules. Motto: "Quantum unitatis reverentia" to be carried in an escroll below the shield. (Now, i don't know where to specify the type of helmet, i had envisioned a tilting helmet, the frog mouth one. I doubt the colours / metals for supporters and mantle are specified properly, but i am pretty confident of the motto.)
I know I'm three years too late, but from what I understand, a division per whatever doesn't count as a tincture being *on* a tincture, therefore "per bend sinister gules and vert" would be totally fine without an Or Bend Sinister to separate them. If you still want the three tinctures you could try "per bend sinister gules and vert, a bend sinister or, in chief a tower argent and in base three barley grain or" or alternatively you could define the field as three tinctures all in one go, i.e. "per bend sinister gules or and vert, a tower..." which would say "divided per bend sinister, I have these three tinctures, listed chief to base.
Oh, and for anyone confused about if a tincture is "on" another tincture, or just beside it, I imagine it like a modern drawing programme with Layers. Any division of tinctures (e.g. per bend) happens in the same layer, but any ordinary (e.g. a bend) or charge (e.g. a lion rampant) creates a new layer. When reading the blazon, these layers are separated with commas (e.g. per bend gules and azure, a bend argent, a lion rampant proper). Of course, take this with a pinch of salt since I'm no authority on the matter, these are just the rules as I understand them; and I could be mistaken.
I want to make my own mixing the polish and spanish symbols because that's my ancestry.....but wow yours is amazing....simple, elegant and so beautiful!
Greetings Ralchire, What an informative series on basic heraldry! Well done lad. Could you help out a senior citizen and tell me what program or app you used for your presentation? Old hands shake and eyesight is not so good. If I could use my mouse to click, drag and drop would be so much better than the old fashioned way of physically cutting and pasting. Your assistance will be greatly appreciated. Thank you. And again wonderful presentation!
Ronald Raney Thank you for the kind words, sir! I just made the video in my preferred video editing program, which is Hitfilm 4 Express. For image editing I used paint.NET. Hitfilm is pretty powerful, lots of cutting and pasting still, just had to make it work I guess. Thanks for watching!
I’m pretty new to heraldry, so I have a few small questions. So one, I know either in this video you specify that there are actual rules to heraldry, but I didn’t know they were regional. If you could explain the regions where heraldic rules apply and the divisions between those regions that would be great, also something else I’ve been wondering is whether or not furs are exclusive. Would it be ‘legal’ for someone to use a fur on their arms, or is it just a simple add-on?
As I understand it, these rules of design are mostly universal, so unless you're going for historical accuracy, or perhaps trying to get your coat of arms made official, its probably nothing to worry about. It seems to just come down to certain styles being more apparent in different regions. As for furs, there's no real rule about placement, they are considered "amphibious" and can be laid atop both metal and colour, but do be aware that furs may imply some level of regality, so just a gentleman would be unlikely to have a fur, but a nobleman would. Same goes with certain charges, like lions, eagles, crowns, etc. which imply royalty, nobility, or close affiliation with royalty and nobility.
I found a family coa for Thomas Seymour 1575's, it is divided into 6 smaller coa. The top middle is the Seymour wings in gule blazon in or. Directly below is the MacWilliam. Joining these two is a mullet charge. His brother Edward is also in the book has the same coa without the mullet charge but has the crown as the head of the family. Is it ok to have a charge that spans individual COA? I wish I could Add a picture
@@MitchellWillie The easiest (most understandable) heraldry book in the English language is "Boutell's Heraldry" as revised and edited by J. P. Brooke-Little, the latest edition being printed in 1983.
Hi Ralchire- hot off the press: my arms were granted just today and the arms blazon reads; Gules on a Pile reversed throughout Ermine a Pile reversed Azure all between in chief two Mantles Or lined and collared Ermine in base a like Mantle in fess point a Saint Cuthbert’s Cross proper. Your opinion- well constructed or too busy? I'm stuck with it whatever!
"Per bend sinister Azure and Sable, an argent rampant Pegasus" breaks the rule of tincture. Is it however a valid shield ? I want to design heraldry for my painted army of Parravon in the Warhammer Old World setting, but stay close to actual heraldry rules (even if I guess in that fantasy setting, some artistic freedom can be found).
I actually didn't know you can reference the colors only once when making a blazon. Man, that's really challenging if you're using more than two colors. Nonetheless, it's a very useful info.
Well, it's not like you'll get hung by the neck until dead if you mention a color more than once :) Some descriptions coming from the frigging College of Arms or Court of Lord Lyon repeat colors if it's necessary for clarity and elegance.
Nice job. I didn’t have time to listen to everything thoroughly, but I tried to get most of it… Did you get into any particular meanings for the animals? In particular, I’m wondering if there is a standardize meaning for the swan.
I’m so confused with my families crest or whatever the correct name is for it. it has 3 divisions but not evenly divided. Imagine split in half vertically (so 2 divisions) and then the first half being split it half horizontally, so one larger division and 2 smaller ones. And Each division has a different image in it. The largest division has white background with red rampant lion, then with the other 2 smaller divisions the top has a black tower or castle on yellow background colour, and the lower has what looks like blue waves with the yellow background colour as well. Above the shield is the helmet, and above helmet is what looks like the iron cross. Can anyone help with what any of these mean?
Great vid! (Why does UA-cam recommend part II before part I?) I want to create a software that would be specially designed for creating coats of arms. Question to Ralchire and anybody who reads this - if there was an app of that type, what features would you like to see in it?
@Matthew Crossley Well, my comment was 10 months ago, and meanwhile Heraldry Studio has already been created. Check it out yourself: store.steampowered.com/app/1152420/Heraldry_Studio/
Great series! I noticed that you used the term “counterchanged.” I always thought it was “countercharged.” Have I been wrong all this time? By the way, I created a personal shield about 10-12 years ago which I now use for my business: Argent, an acorn between flaunches sable, below a chief gules. (I think some of my grammar is wrong, and when I had an artist create this as my business logo I had her “cap” the acorn gules.) It is a heraldic interpretation of one of my favorite birds, the red-headed woodpecker, which I associate with oak trees.
Yep, I have been saying it wrong ever since I learned about heraldry. I am wondering if it was misspelled in the first thing I read or if I just read it wrong.
'Things' are ALWAYS below a Chief, so that word is redundant. Suggest the blazon to be 'Argent between Flaunches an Acorn Sable [capped Gules]'. What do you actually mean by 'capped'? What sort of cap? Acorns don't wear caps, or is this an addition of a 'Revolutionary Cap'?
{{ I noticed that you used the term “counterchanged.” I always thought it was “countercharged.” }} There is no such word in Heraldry as 'countercharged' - that is a purely legal term. Look it up in a dictionary. Another often seen heraldic gaffe is the use of 'overall' when what is meant is 'over all'.
@@gjks6647 Thanks for the grammar help. By “capped”, I mean the scaly top portion of an acorn. The correct botanical term is cupule, but I think most people call them caps. So I guess some other options that I see in the previous sentences might be “scaled,” “topped,” or “cupped.”
