Excerpt from Heraldry for the Craftsman
Many writers give the Crusades, 1096 - 1270, as the beginning of the science of heraldry. During these enterprises great changes took place in the weapons and armours used. These changes and the various forms of crosses that were adopted (see chapter V) without doubt had their influence on the heraldry of a later date. Yet the only relation that any of these may claim to heraldry is that they were symbolical devices carried by warriors to distinguish one group from another they were in no sense a shield of arms, as they possessed no hereditary character.
Although there are depicted in the Bayeaux Tapestry, illustrating the Norman conquest, knights with banners and shields charged with various emblems, most authorities agree that at this period no form of heraldic science existed; indeed, it was not until the second half of the twelfth century that coats of arms, as we know them, came into being; and it was not until the thirteenth century that they were governed by a code of rules and the Science of Heraldry definitely established. At this period heraldry held such a place in the hearts of the popu lace that even those oi little education were well acquainted with its language and meaning, they, having so to speak, grown up together.
