	A GLOSSARY OF TERMS USED IN HERALDRY by JAMES PARKER

	Heraldry in Ireland
		The main non-military use of arms was on seals, as a means of proving the authenticity of documents, and the practice of using birds or animals to fill empty space around the arms on these seals gave rise to 'supporters', now regarded as part of the arms of peers.
		Arms first arrived in Ireland with the Normans, who brought with them all the social structures on which European heraldry depended; up to then, although some evidence of the use of military symbolism among the Gaels survives, heraldry in the true sense did not exist.
		In particular, most of the arms were regarded as the property of the sept (defined by Dr Edward MacLysaght as 'a group of persons inhabiting the same locality and bearing the same surname'), rather than being strictly hereditary within a single family, as was and is the case under English and Scottish heraldic law.
