The Law of Arms in Mediaeval England Because of the coat of arms' use as an mark of identification, and its signifigance as a mark of gentility, it was natural that laws regarding its use and inheritance would arise. Since grants of coats of arms were fairly uncommon, as they were a display of royal favor, most gentlemen proved their rights by demonstrating ancient use, usually by displaying old sealed documents, stained glass, or other church monuments.
