Topic: Sanguine (heraldry)


  
  Tincture (heraldry) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In heraldry, tinctures are the colours used to blazon a coat of arms.
The "ash colour" in the arms of Gwilt of South Wales ("Argent, a lion rampant sable, the head, paws, and half of the tail ash colour") may be the same tincture as cendrée.
In German heraldry there are also the colours "grey", "Eisen" (iron) and "water colour," though there are unique appearances of "grey" in the heraldry of South Africa[5] and the United States[6].

 Abatements
a gusset sanguine borne to the dexter, for an adulterer
All the devices of Heraldry, accordingly, in their various degrees, are "Tokens of Honour;" and "Arms," if they attest anything whatever, "are the testimony of some noble action." The very idea of an heraldic Abatement implies, if not a complete ignorance, certainly a thorough misconception of the character and office of heraldry.
The fact that Enlgish heraldry invented such a bureaucratic system of abatements is also a reflection of the change that heraldry underwent in that country, when Henry VIII and later the Stuarts regulated it.

 Information Suggestion - Abatement in heraldry   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
An abatement, in heraldry, is a modification of the shield or coat of arms that suррosedly can be imрosed by authority (in England suррosedly by the Court of Chivalry) for misconduct.
As the bearing of a coat of arms is рurely voluntary, and the bearer would most liƙely not wish to advertise the misconduct, obviously most рeoрle would not wish to bear a coat on which an abatement had been imрosed, though there was at least one imрosition of an abatement, for an adultery in Scotland.
The sole exceрtion to the rarity of abatements is the reversal of the entire shield as a рunishment for treason, as the shield was briefly so disрlayed in England at the time of the execution of the convicted treason, the arms ceasing to exist after this.

 A GLOSSARY OF TERMS USED IN HERALDRY by JAMES PARKER
Abatements such as the above exist only in systems of heraldry, and no instance of their actual use is on record: but under the several headings diagrams will be found explaining the meaning of the terms which are used by heraldic writers.
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.
Many of the augmentations granted for naval and military services about the commencement of the present century are so absurdly confused, that all the terms of heraldry cannot intelligibly describe them.

Sanguine is closer, but though known in later heraldry and even English Heraldry, it is considered a stain along with tenne.
The SCA College of Arms does not allow sanguine as a tincture on a device unless of course you can find an allowable charge that's proper tincture is sanguine and can back that up with documentation acceptable at Laurel level.
Now about that sanguine background, note that I did not say "sanguine field", it is a subtle and important distinction and perhaps at this point at least some of the more creative heralds will begin to see what I am getting at.

 Heraldic Dictionary: 1. Tinctures
Tenne, Murrey and Sanguine are 'stains' that are used in British Heraldry and as they are not 'colours' are not subject to the 'colour rule'.
[Stains (in British heraldry, anyway) are considered to have the same properties as the colours and are, when used, treated as such.] Blue-Celeste is also used extensively these days especially in conjunction with arms and flags associated with Aviation.
None of these are very common, if to be found at all, in the heraldry of English-speaking countries, but brunâtre, carnation, and cendrée are translated as brown, [Caucasian] flesh color, and ashen gray respectively.

 Heraldic concepts
I believe something like this is said in Carl-Alexander von Volborth's "Heraldry: Customs, Rules, and Styles," regarding German arms, but it's a little confusing as to whether he's talking about showing them tilted or clearing away surplus quarterings and displaying them in their original simple form.
I just received today a copy of Alexander Nisbet's "A System of Heraldry" (1722) that I had ordered, and to my surprise it does indeed say that the display of a shield in the tilted (pendant or accouche') position was limited to persons of tournament rank, i.e., noblemen.
Anyway, Željko is vindicated, although the Heraldry Society of Scotland members arms pages (linked from www.heraldry-scotland.co.uk) shows many arms in tilted position.

 JAG - Metals, Colours and Furs
Although heraldry is basically a system of identification based on coloured shapes placed on a shield or flag, and although its glowing colours are considered its principal glory, the early use of those same shapes impressed on sealing wax clearly demonstrates that colour was never as essential as is commonly thought.
It may be noted that despite the decorative glories of heraldry being so dependent on rich colour, very attractive illustrations can be rendered in fl-and-white.
This is demonstrated by the bookplates discussed in the Classical Heraldry articles.

The tincture "Sanguine" was chosen early on as I first started researching heraldry (rather recent), and was chosen based on a list of supposed "meanings".
After further research, it seams that Sanguine is not a tincture I would want to use after all, due to it's primary function being related to abatements, I just never bothered to change it.

The three stains; tenne, sanguine and murrey are really just variations for use in blazons as far as I can see.
Tenne is of course, a yellow and not gold (Or).  If gold is on the same shield as tenne, it would have to be done in gold leaf whilst the tenne would be yellow paint something akin to English mustard in colour.
Sanguine and Murrey seem to be mixed up in most heraldic texts one being described much the same as the other but basically as a dark rich red, it depends whose book you are reading!

 Tinctures
Colors are called Tinctures in heraldry (émaux, or enamels, in French).
Anglo-Norman heraldry uses the term proper to mean that a charge is represented with its usual, or natural, or expected colors; in French, the charge would be said to be au naturel.
Beyond that, some tinctures are occasionally found, such as sanguine (between red and purple, also called murrey) and tenny (orange, also called orangé).
