Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a fascinating exploration of heraldry, particularly focusing on the coats of arms borne by families in Devon and Cornwall during the 16th century. The author meticulously examines a beautifully written manuscript containing two lists of arms, arranged alphabetically, one a general armory and the other specifically dedicated to the West of England. The book delves into the complex world of heraldic design, detailing the intricate blazons and symbols used by these families. It reveals how younger branches of families often varied their coats of arms, exploring the motivations behind these heraldic adaptations and the sometimes fluid nature of heraldic identity. The author uses numerous historical sources, including other heraldic manuscripts and visitations, to compare and contrast these arms, providing a rich understanding of how heraldic practice evolved within specific regions. The book's analysis goes beyond mere descriptions, offering insights into the social and cultural significance of heraldry in Elizabethan England. It provides a unique glimpse into the lives of these families, highlighting their connections to land, lineage, and social standing. By examining the fascinating world of heraldic design and its variations, the book sheds light on the dynamics of family, wealth, and identity in this historical period.
