Inhaltsangabe

Behind every shield lies a story of power, allegiance and bloodline. These arms tell our stories. In Volume II of Joseph Edmondson's A Complete Body of Heraldry, eighteenth century British heraldry is unfolded as living genealogy. Drawing on the records of the Georgian era nobility, Edmondson arranges the peerage and baronetage arms of Great Britain into a classic armorial collection: a heraldry reference book that doubles as a genealogical heraldry encyclopedia. Here the coats of arms of noble houses are set alongside carefully compiled notes of descent and title, a Burke's Peerage style reference created long before Burke, and still invaluable as a reference book for genealogists, historians and heraldry enthusiasts. For researchers tracing noble family genealogy, students deciphering armorial bearings, or collectors seeking a substantial heraldry guide for researchers, this enduring armorial bearings handbook illuminates the symbols, claims and connections behind British coats of arms at the very moment they were borne. Long regarded as one of the great classic armorial collections of its age, Edmondson's work preserves a unique snapshot of Georgian era nobility records and heraldic practice. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure.
