	Coat of arms - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A coat of arms or armorial bearings (often just arms for short) is, in its originally European tradition, a design belonging to a particular person (or group of people) and used by him or her in a wide variety of ways.
		Coats of arms have their origins in the designs used by medieval knights to make their armour and shield stand out in battle or tournaments and enable quick recognition by allies or spectators.
		In those traditions, coats of arms were passed from father to son as legal property, and were not used by more than a single individual at the same time (other than the eldest son and his eldest son both of whom would differentiate with a label).

		College of Arms was the Heraldry Portal's selected article for May 2006.
		The paragraph beginning "Arms are inherited..." seems like it has more to do with heraldry than the College.

		But Lee, Portcullis, deputizing for Clarencieux, seems to have recorded the arms of the colleges without demure [sic], though none of them had been the subject of a grant; and indeed most of them have now in their archives representations of these arms executed on vellum by him.

	SoG Leaflet: The right to arms
		The erroneous and widespread practice of adopting the arms of a family of the same surname (extracted in most cases from one of the printed armorials listing the arms of families alphabetically) is much to be deplored.
		The formal description or ‘blazoning’ of a coat of arms proceeds along certain well defined lines, and an unknown coat of arms on a signet ring or monument, for example, may be identified by using an ‘ordinary’, which indexes arms by design and gives the names of families to whom they have been attributed.
		In England, the College of Arms is unsupported from public funds and access to its records (described in A R Wagner, The Records and Collections of the College of Arms, 1952) is therefore limited.

	Towards an Australian college of arms?

	College of Arms Foundation - Heraldry as Art
		It is certain that the sumptuous heraldry of the medieval tournament was not dictated solely by practical considerations and undoubtedly there is some truth in both assertions.
		In fact, all the elements of heraldry - shield, crest, helm and mantling - altered with taste, and although their general arrangement looks as if they were hung up ready for use, it is possible to employ most of the elements separately in design.
		Thus a small object may be decorated with just the crest on a wreath or torque (which kept the crest in place on the helmet) or a great carving of arms, perhaps above a fireplace, may be supported on either side by supporters of beasts or birds.
