Coats of Arms and Grants of Arms as Part of the System for Preserving Family Memory and Reinforcing the Prestige of Noble Families
Original language description
Heraldic symbols were one of the most important elements in the tradition of noble families. The family coat-of-arms was one everyday means by which members of the nobility presented themselves. Thanks to its stable, unchanging form, the coat-of-arms acted as a visual expression of the family’s intergenerational memory. Members of the nobility were constantly surrounded by coats-of-arms – whether as part of everyday items or on ceremonial occasions. Coats-of-arms decorated grand stately homes, and they were depicted on small items such as seal matrices, coins and medals. We can also find heraldic expressions of a family’s tradition in documents and pictorial sources – including memorials, tables of ancestors (Ahnentafeln), family trees and funeral sermons, to name just a few.
