		In heraldry a pallet is a diminutive of the pale, being a perpendicular band upon an escutcheon, one half the breadth of the pale.
		In heraldry, a panache is a plume of feathers, generally ostrich feathers, set upright and borne as a crest.

	Heraldry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Heraldry is the science and art of describing coats-of-arms (also referred to as "armorial bearings" or simply as "arms").
		Possibly the rarest animal in heraldry is found in the coat of arms of Maidstone, Kent, which bears an iguanodon rampant on the dexter side.
		In heraldry, a motto is often depicted in a coat of arms, typically on a scroll under the arms, or else above it as in Scots heraldry.

	Heraldry: definitions and terms
		After the end of the 16th century, its form and position were modified in English heraldry to indicate the rank of the bearer; thus, helmets of knights and princes are portrayed full faced, and those of peers and gentlemen, in profile.
		In heraldry the crest is represented attached to the top of the helmet; its base is surrounded by a wreath, a circlet of twisted ribbons tinctured of the principal metal and colors of the shield.
		Differencing From the earliest days of heraldry, only the head of a family has the right to inherit unchanged the entire paternal arms; junior branches of the family difference their arms by changing certain tinctures, or by substituting charges, as three mullets for three billets.

	A GLOSSARY OF TERMS USED IN HERALDRY by JAMES PARKER
		Pales and palets are subject to the same kind of variations as the other ordinaries, such as the bend, fesse, &c., but not to so many, being far less frequently employed.
		The pale furché in the last example is probably intended for the Shakefork, q.v.
		But the party may be considerably varied, as the per pale, fesse, bend, &c., may be subjected to the same variations as the ordinary itself, i.e.

	A GLOSSARY OF TERMS USED IN HERALDRY by JAMES PARKER
		B. All bachelors(official personages already mentioned being excepted), must have their arms complete, that is to say, with all the external ornaments belonging to their condition, upon a fl ground, namely, if an esquire, with his wreath, helmet, and crest, and perhaps it may be with a mark of cadency on the arms.
		F. In general.--Their achievements are arranged precisely as their husbands' would be, except that the helmet, crest, mantle, and motto, are omitted, and the ground painted per pale, white and fl, or, to speak more accurately, fl under the arms of the wife, and white under those of the husband.
		The term belongs rather to the romance of heraldry than to its practice, and is imagined by the writers to have been adopted by families who, having lost their possessions, and consequently being unable to maintain their dignity, chose rather to bear their hereditary arms adumbrated than to relinquish them altogether.

		Heraldry is the knowledge and art of describing-coats-of-arms, also referred to as achievements or armorial bearings.
		The first thing the blazon describes is the tincture (colour) of the field (background) (though in some cases of "landscape heraldry" all or part of the field is some sort of landscape), and then it describes the placement and tinctures of the different charges (objects) on the shield.
		For many more people, heraldry is seen as a part of their national, and even personal, heritage, as well as being a manifestation of civic and national pride.

	Heraldry for Scribes
		This is not an introduction to heraldry, so I am also assuming that the reader has either a reference book or two or a tame herald available.
		"Per pale" is the same in both but "per fess engrailed" mundanely would probably have the points to base (because the chief position "owns" the partition line), and Society practice places the points to chief so they look like the cups the partition line is named for.
		The central ordinaries (fess, pale, bend, bend sinister, cross, salitre, pile and pall) are considered primary charges, and are named first in a blazon.

	The Classic Castle dot Com How-To's
		Heraldry as discussed in this article is the recording and regulation of armory.
		There are several kinds of charges - ordinaries are the most basic and are mostly lines, stripes, and crosses - subordinaries are mostly simple geometric shapes which represent objects (a star shape is said to represent the rowel of a spur, for example) - other charges are realistic drawings of things and animals.
		Ordinaries are the original basic charges of heraldry, and are large geometric shapes stretching to the edge of the shield.

	About Heraldry
		Heraldry is a language of emblems (patterns, signs and symbols) which grew out of the military life of the Middle Ages.
		When a charge is placed upon a parted field, the tinctures of the field may be reversed in the charge which is then said to be counter-changed.
		Ordinaries and their diminutives may be varied with the different types of lines given previously, thus forming a great variety of different patterns.

	The Points of Heraldry
		Heraldry: the art of devising, blazoning, and granting armorial insignia and the tracing and recording of genealogies.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Ecclesiastical Heraldry
		The auriferata (which is made of cloth of gold or of thin gold plates, and is not jewelled) is the one always used in English heraldry for an Anglican bishop or archbishop.
		The cross of an ordinary archbishop has but a single traverse; in practice it is really a crucifix placed on the summit of a staff; but heraldry distinguishes the cross of an archbishop from the primatial cross which has the double traverse (Figure 15) and the papal cross with the treble traverse.
		The arms granted by the papal Brief to the Archbishopric of Westminster consist of the pallium (without the cross in pale as in the Anglican shields) upon a field of gules, and the same device is used by the Archbishop of Glasgow.
