What is a family Crest?
A family crest is a heraldic shield that is associated with a particular family. The crest usually contains the family's coat of arms, which is a design that is used to identify the family. The coat of arms often contains symbols that represent the family's history, values, and achievements. The family crest is a way for the family to show its solidarity and pride.
Family Crest Shields
Traditional coat of arms designs date back to the 12th century, where decorating defensive shields became a useful way of identifying knights in the heat of battle. These insignia were created by officials known as heralds, who also recorded and regulated armorial bearings. Their records were known as blazons. Typically a blazon has three components - arms (the 'flag' part of the image), crest (the design surrounding the flag), and the motto (which often originated as a war cry).
