Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book of anecdotal heraldry, a science that elevates the human psyche while recording celebrated deeds and connections across generations, explores the origins of countless family crests. With origins in the desire to commemorate both noble and ignoble deeds, heraldry is a timeless scientific method of preserving history and customs. The author examines heraldry from a historical perspective, delving into the practices of the Gauls, Germans, and Northmen, and later practices that emerged from the Crusades, providing a wealth of examples of these systems of symbols. Special attention is given to the ways in which heraldry has been used to commemorate acts of bravery and perpetuate the memory of those who performed them. From medieval knights to courageous mariners and pioneering scientists, this book celebrates the full spectrum of human achievement with intriguing stories and symbolism. Through these entertaining stories and careful descriptions, the author illuminates the full social and historical significance of heraldry as a memorial to both ordinary and extraordinary people who have shaped history and culture.
