Coat of Arms and Antique Heraldry

Jul 27, 2007 by El Heraldo

I encourage you to visit the ARCHIVES section of this site, many of the shields or coat of arms in this section present interesting information such as traditions, anecdotes and historical events. Other coats of arms we present only present information about people that received some nobiliary title or entered to some military order.

 

On a daily basis, I create these coat of arms based on the information that I have found in heraldry books. The NOBILIARIO ESPAÑOL, Heraldic Dictionary of Spanish last names, is one of the books I use to create these shields. This book contains more than a thousand lastnames or suranames only under the letter “A”. The ACHIVES section contains just a few of them but every week we will puiblish at least 20 new sheidls that are part of the antique heraldry. If you do not see your last name in our list please contact us and we will research it for you. Right now we have about 360 coats of arms of the antique heraldry but it takes time to to translate and prepare them before we publish them in this site. So, as I mentioned we will publish 20 per week.

I hope you understand and like what we present to you in this site and thank you in advance your time.
