In heraldryon blazon is a description identifying its holder, which can be represented on a ecua armoura banner or a tabar. It is also referred to asweaponss, the coat of arms designating the shield and its external ornaments. The coat of arms is a sign of recognition of the individual or his family, particularly used by knights in the Middle Ages. However, this symbol is not reserved for them: in France, it is not necessary to be from the nobility to create a coat of arms. Commoners created coats of arms from the beginning of the xiii^e centurythe bourgeoisie being imitated by the simple peasants from the xiv^e century. Cities also create them, as do certain administrations and corporations. The rule is not to usurp the arms of others¹. This personal identification became hereditary in the male lines from about 1130 onwards.
