Coat of Arms

Bellringer Without using your notes: What does it mean to be a vassal? Draw and label the feudalism pyramid on your paper. How does feudalism work?

During the Middle Ages, knights wore so much armor, including helmets, that they couldn't be told apart on the battle field. As a result, they started carrying shields and flags that depicted their coat of arms. The coat of arms had symbols called heraldry that identified individuals, families, countries, and sometimes institutions, such as The Church. No two families could have the same coat of arms. Design your own Coat of Arms

Your assignment is to design your own coat of arms. The four quarters must be filled with pictures or words that describe you. One of the pictures must be to show your rank in your family. You must also include your last name at the bottom of your crest.Make sure your crest is very colorful!! Design your own Coat of Arms

The background of a shield is called the "field" Traditional heraldry used the following colors and metals: Colors: Gules -   Bright Red : fire, nobleness, boldness, virility. Originally only princes could wear it because it also represented cruelty and supposedly princes were cruel to their enemies. Azure -   Royal Blue or Sky Blue (not pastel): the sky, purity, justice, goodness, sincerity Vert   - Emerald Green: happiness, pleasure, youth, health Purpure -   Royal Purple : usually equated with red and its meanings Sable -   Black : sadness, melancholy. The lowest color--for the clergy who should avoid vanity and for widows and widowers. Metals: Or -  Gold (yellow) The sun. Originally only princes could wear it Argent -  Silver (white) The moon . Stood for purity, justice, childhood, hope,

Show your rank in the family . Depending on which child you are, you put a different small design--called a cadency mark--in the middle of the upper part of the shield. The head of the family's shield doesn't have any cadency marks. Eldest child (well, it's supposed to be son, but if you're a girl, we'll let you make a coat of arms anyway): Second: Third: Fourth: Fifth: Sixth: Seventh: Eighth:

Decorate : Animals and images of all sorts were used on shields (Animals are generally portrayed in profile): flowers, stars, mermaids, suns, lions, eagles, angels, unicorns, dragons, monsters of all kinds, and even partridges. They meant different things at different times to different people. Decorate your shield with whatever you think best represents you.

Examples

You will need to write a description of what each of the colors and figures on your coat of arms represent. Pretend you are living in Medieval Europe and make up a story about how and why you chose your Coat of Arms. Be creative, and have fun with the story!!!Can’t wait to read them!! To Finish
