	Abatement (heraldry) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An abatement, in heraldry, is a modification of the shield or coat of arms that supposedly can be imposed by authority (in England supposedly by the Court of Chivalry) for misconduct.
		As the bearing of a coat of arms is purely voluntary, and the bearer would most likely not wish to advertise the misconduct, obviously most people would not wish to bear a coat on which an abatement had been imposed, though there was at least one imposition of an abatement, for an adulterer in Scotland.
		Thus, it is probable that the system of abatements never had much if any basis in fact and was simply a theoretical exercise created by heralds.
