Origin of the coat of arms
text:
The origin of coats of arms is the invention, in the medieval West, of the emblematic system based on the blazon, which is described and studied by heraldry. Emblems were used in Ancient history and during the High Middle Ages. However, it wasn't until the 11th century, between 1120 and 1160, that coats of arms first appeared. The origin of coats of arms can be traced mainly through the study of seals. Seals go from depicting a few coats of arms on a rider's gonfanon to equestrian seals bearing
