Quartering (heraldry)
text:
Quartering is a method of joining several different coats of arms together in one shield by dividing the shield into equal parts and placing different coats of arms in each division. Typically, a quartering consists of a division into four equal parts, two above and two below. Occasionally the division is instead along both diagonals again creating four parts but now at top, bottom, left, and right. An example of party per cross is the Sovereign Arms of the United Kingdom, as used outside Scotla
