de Torby Morganaut Arms
|
| |
Does anybody know which arms the de Torby morganauts sported? Were
they granted arms by the Grand Duke of Luxembourg together with the
comital title?
Did their mother use the Merenberg arms (de sinople au sautoir d'or
cantonné de douze croisettes recroisetées du même) and if so, did they
inherit it or some derivation thereof?... more »

Order of the Eagle of Georgia
|
| |
Hello all,
can someone please update me on the status of this Order?
Are they seen as an authentic Order of Chivalry, semi or self-styled? Also, I would like to know what is SMOM's view upon them?
Are they on SMOM's proscribed list of Order?
Thank you

Plea for heraldic advice
|
| |
Hi all,
I've been working on the genealogy of my patrilineal line, which is from Sweden. I came across a man named Johan Docken, who may or may not be my 6xgreat grandfather. I've always assumed that all of my ancestors were farmers and peasants, but I stumbled upon a website that may suggest that Johan was major and married a woman named Charlotta von Becker (who looks to have been the daughter of a baron/major general): [link]... more »

Armorial Tombs in Malta
|
| |
Hi all,
I've been exploring the website of St John’s Co-Cathedral in Valletta, Malta, which was built as the conventual church for the SMOM ([link]). If you haven't already viewed it, it is a real treat. You are probably familiar with the inlaid marble and lapidary tombs of knights with incredible armorial displays: [link]... more »

I have a question: What happens with the achievements of the men, and
women, at least in one case, of those who ascend to the throne?
Secondly; did William the Lion have arms before his ascention?

blazon: my first crack
|
| |
I'm starting to write the blazon for my personal coat-of-arms. I'm not employed by a government or religious institution, but am self-employed. And I'm not a merchant as I sell no merchandise, but provide a service to the public. I'm considering all this because, to start, I don't know what elements of the blazon to exclude. I suppose heraldic traditions, old and new, where I live in the United States and where my ancestors are from in Sicily may provide some guidance. I'm writing here because I don't trust businesses selling armorials online. The samples they depict are very elaborate and generally have militant themes.... more »
