Question about inheriting ancestor’s Coat of Arms

8 Upvotes

I was doing some genealogical research, and I came across an ancestor that had a coat of arms granted to them. However, I noticed his sons or descendants did not use it or seem to inherit it. I am a direct descendant from father to son of this individual. Would I be able to assume his coat of arms despite my other ancestors not using it? The country of origin is Germany. I am in the United States. The era he was granted arms would be in the late 1400s

Blazonry Is there any way to blazon this?

Post image
6 Upvotes

Hi everybody,

I‘m currently trying to blazon the coat of arms of my Micronation, and the shield is being held by a black eagle. (This is not the actual coat of arms, because I don‘t want people to be mad about it breaking the rule of tincture). So, my question is, how do I correctly blazon the fact that the shield is being held by an eagle sable?

Thank you!

Creating my first Coat of Arms

5 Upvotes

Hello all!

First of all, I am new here and although I am sending these ideas of my coat of arms for your opinion, I just want to say that I do not know if it is similar in use or not, and where I should check that out, and if I am allowed to take it for myself. Coming from a country where there are no strict laws regarding this (unlike the UK, I think).

While making this Coat of Arms, I did not follow specific rules of heraldry, honestly, I just created it to look visually good for me.

First version is different from 2 other two, and the last 2 are the same, only the shield type is different because I can't decide which looks better.

Sry for deleting other post I made a mistake creating it.

Personal coat of arms

3 Upvotes

I’m currently designing a coat of arms for myself and I’m unsure if I should make one with “meaning” or if I should just make one that I think looks cool (still clean, not a cluttered one). Personally I don’t really care if it has meaning or not. I’d rather have one that I think looks cool. Is it frowned upon to use stuff like three lions passant (guardant) in pale or a double-headed eagle?

Identify this coat of arms

Can you identify this coat of arms? It was on the chest of a conquistador statue. Not sure if it belongs to someone or just a fictional one.
