About Heraldry
Heraldry originated nearly a thousand years ago in the world of feudalism and chivalry. It found its fertile ground for development in knightly tournaments.
Dozens and sometimes hundreds of knights would gather to give life to epic clashes. However, there was often an issue: it was hard to distinguish the participants from each other, so the Heralds (those who usually organized these events) began to create and keep track of the symbols and tinctures used by the partakers to distinguish them during these tournaments.
It soon became a widespread practice, and the Heralds were the main developers: they created new figures, forms and rules that consolidated over the centuries until they gave shape to Heraldry as we know it today.
​
After the knights, nobles also began to use coats of arms. The practice of heraldry then also spread to merchants, associations, and companies. In various parts of Europe, heraldry is so widespread that even the smallest villages have their own coat of arms.
