-
- The theme of most heraldic writers seems to be that heraldry as we know it
- didn't come into existence until after the preaching of the first crusade at
- the end of the eleventh century. (Hence, I assume, the start-date for
- Tadgh's preferred definition of period.)
-
- If anyone knows otherwise I'd love to hear of it. Similarly if anyone can
- tell me about seals, banners, or other insignia used before "heraldry".
