    How does a Coat of Arms originate?

    Question #59918. Asked by LeakyPickle. (Oct 11 05 6:01 PM)


    lanfranco

    		"A "coat of arms," as the name suggests, began as a personal device (a blazon) painted on the shield or clothing of a knight. It was not quite the same thing as a "family crest," though a crest could be included.
