Description

Excerpt from Crozier's General Armory: A Registry of American Families Entitled to Coat Armor The science of heraldry or armory is indeed of very ancient origin. When the College of Heralds was established in Eng land, in 1483, its business was to register Grants of Arms and to see that such distinctions were not borne illegally; in other words, to bring order out of chaos that must have existed for a long time. As many abuses found their way into all matters touching descent and Arms, the Heralds' Visitations were later instituted, in the early sixteenth century, for the purpose of revis ing and recording the pedigrees of families entitled to Coat Armor; and the business of distinguishing between proper and improper assumptions of Coat Armor is still an important one.
