Knowledge Base of Basic Heraldry

On this page you will find a collection of entries that provide basic and indispensable knowledge for all those interested in heraldry – that is, heraldry. The texts were based on relevant Wikipedia articles, which I have taken over with minor edits and occasional additions. My goal is to create a plain-to-understand, yet professionally sound knowledge base that can serve as both a starting point and background material for beginners. The content is constantly being expanded.
