Simple and beautiful with a unique charge. In 1178 a castle named Wolfperch was first mentioned. Owned by the Fürstbistum Bamberg since around 1007 the area the settlement was granted the right of being a city in 1331. At the end of the medieviel era the CoA changed, until this time it was equal to the CoA of the Bamberg Fürstbistum and now the lion got replaced by a wolf with a lion's tail, a Löwenzagel as it's called in German.

In heraldry, is there a way to signify that a particular house is the successor to another, ie through inescutcheon or otherwise?

Sorry for the bad quality, i couldn't get a screenshot.

Hey there! I've stumbled upon the blazon of the Italian province of Pesaro and Urbino. Could anybody provide an explanation why are there two handshakes on it? I mean, does it have a symbolic significance?

I've only managed to find this (translation from wiki):

Guidobaldo II della Rovere, Duke of Urbino, a few days before his death (occurred in Pesaro on 28 September 1574) communicated to the Gonfaloniere of the city: "I give you my oak and I want it to be placed in the coat of arms of the Community above the red and white quarter with four hands that are clasped between them and hold the oak, and under the motto "PERPETVA ET FIRMA FIDELITAS" (steadfast and perennial fidelity) and I want to be named Lord and your Father".

According to a legend in 901 A.D. while in battle with Hungarians, most likely Avars, saint Vitus appears to the karantanian Duke Rathold to give him courage and help to win the fight. To thank the saint Rathold build a church on the spot the battle took place, over time more buildings were build and the city of St. Veit was born. Until 1518 the city was also the capital of the duchy of Carinthia. The Name Glan, the river who runs through the city, btw derives from the celts and means clear, bright, flowing also the Name Glanos is Celtic and was the name of the God of water.

Trying out a design tied to name which essentially means \"stag by settlement\". Want to make it a bit more elaborate but came up with this so far. Need C+C.

Bonus if you think of a clever motto to go with it

Hi my grandfather passed away and I’m hoping to identify the markings on his signet ring. I’m not sure about its origin or any other details unfortunately. My dad has the ring so all I have is a picture- I’ve asked if he can use it to make a wax seal to see if the image can be more clearly seen. Any help or guidance for where to look for more details would be greatly appreciated (UK based) thank you.

Is Margaret of France's arms in Westminster Abbey ?

From A Complete Guide to Heraldry (P524):

The arms of Margaret of France, who died in 1319, the second queen of Edward I., as they remain on her tomb in Westminster Abbey, afford an example of this method of conjunction.

But I found "she was buried at Christ Church Greyfriars in London and Her tomb was destroyed during the Reformation."

So, Is her arms in Westminster Abbey ?

​

I've never seen this object depicted as a charge before and I doubt it has been used all that often. So can you guess what the charge underneath the chief is?

!Answer: It's a charcoal pile. From the coat of arms of the former municipality of Kullaa in Finland. !<

Would be glad to hear constructive criticism!

First mentioned in 1065/65 Feldkirchen is the capital of the same named district and the fifth biggest city in Carinthia with roughly 14.500 residents.
