January 27, 2023 Written in patronymic order and according to the archives of the old parliaments, the manuscripts of HOZIER and the works of authors.Volume 2 In heraldry, the coat of arms is a description identifying its bearer, which may be represented on a shield, armour, banner or tabar. It is also referred to as a coat of arms, with the coat of arms referring to 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. Nevertheless, 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 as early as the beginning of the 13th century, with the bourgeoisie being imitated by simple peasants as early as the 14th century. Cities also created coats of arms, as did certain administrations and corporations. The rule is not to usurp the arms of others1. This personal identification became hereditary in male lines from about 1130 onwards.
