Description
The book delves into the intricate world of heraldry, exploring the significance of coats of arms and the rules governing their design. It discusses the various types of arms, such as brisadas and cargadas, and the consequences of modifying or dishonoring them. The origins of these practices are traced back to ancient traditions of public shaming for dishonorable acts. The book also covers the laws of heraldry, including the prohibition of placing metal on metal or color on color in coats of arms. Exceptions to these rules are outlined, such as in cases of extraordinary arms or specific privileges granted by royalty. The importance of using proper heraldic terminology and the positioning of figures within the shield are emphasized. The work aims to provide a comprehensive guide to heraldry, genealogy, and the history of noble titles, offering a valuable resource for those interested in understanding and interpreting the symbolism of heraldic devices.
