		Such, for instance, as a lion party of an ash colour; a horse, of a bay colour; a horse's head and wild-ducks, brown; the mine, in the arms of the Miners' Company(q.v.), of earth colour, with the chief brown colour.
		The carnation is frequently used with the French heralds for pink or flesh colour, applied to human subjects, and especially the face; grey is applied to hair, russet is said of a parrot, and yellow of a pheasant's breast.

		The history of Polish heraldry is an integral part of the history of szlachta, or a local class of nobility.
		Contrary to its formation in the countries of Western Europe, the Polish szlachta did not emerge from the chivalry, but rather from a Slavic class of free warriors.
		Usually men inherited the coat of arms from their fathers (or the member of the clan who "adopted them") while women inherited it after their mothers or were adopted to the family of the husband.

		Carnation has appeared many times in the original blazons of Reitstap but I have translated it as 'proper' which is the correct term for charges appearing in their natural colours.
		These divisions are the basis of all heraldic practice as they allow the precise placement of the charges upon the shield and the use of the multiple tinctures which dilliniate one shield from another.
		In heraldry the right and left hand sides of the shield are reversed so that they are described from the point of view of the bearer of the shield.

	Bleu celeste Information
		Bleu celeste ("sky blue") is a rarely-occurring tincture in heraldry (not being one of the seven main colours or metals or the three "staynard colours").
		Initially considered to be European rather than English or Scottish, after the Second World War it became more prevalent in England in badges of coats relating to the Royal Air Force, or the arms of those with some RAF connection.
		In addition to bleu celeste, there is also an apparently unique example in British heraldry of the use of "light blue" in the Municipal Borough of Barnes, through which the Oxford versus Cambridge boat race passes on the Thames.

		In heraldry, a "cross triple parted and fretted" (or "treble parted and fretted") is interlaced.

	A Brief History of Heraldry (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		One historian (Beryl Platts, author of Origins of Heraldry) notes that "family identification" was practiced in northern Europe even before the Norman Conquest, and she believes that all heraldry in England is the derivation of the heraldic devices brought by the families who accompanied William the Conqueror.
		The term “blason,” by which the science of heraldry is denoted in French, English, Italian, and German, is probably derived from the German word “blazen” -- to blow the horn.
		Whenever a new Knight appeared at a Tournament, the herald sounded the trumpet, and as the competitors attended with closed visors, it was his duty to explain the bearing of the shield or coat-armour belonging to each.

		This need also led to one of the primary rules regarding arms and colors (some call it a “canon” of heraldry): color is not to be placed on color, and metal is not to be placed on metal.
		The metals used in arms are constant through the history of heraldry: gold (also called or), which stands for generosity, and silver (also called argent), which stands for peace and sincerity.
		In Anglo-Norman heraldry, the term proper means that a charge uses its usual, natural, or expected colors; in French, such a charge is labeled au naturel.
