From the Beginning to Present - A Work in Progress
​
Heraldry is the branch of knowledge dealing with the description and history of armorial bearings.It was necessary for a knight to be recognized in feudal times ... so he employed an emblem. This emblem was depicted on a shield and later on the surcoat worn over the armor. Hence, the term coat of arms was created.
The coat of arms is described as:
gules
fretty
argent
In addition to the escutcheon or shield, several extra ornaments maybe included. These additional elements are:
the helm
the crest
the motto
the mantle
the supports
The helm of the Coat of Arms can be turned full face to indicate a Knight. A helm turned to a profile would indicate a gentlemen.

The helm of the Huddleston Arms can be turned full face to indicate a Knight. A helm turned to a profile would indicate a gentlemen.
The crest is decribed as two arms holding a bloody scalp. In Heraldry, the crest is attached to the top of the helmet with ribbons of the same colors as the shield.
The mantle was the cloth that covered the helmet; and protected it from the suns heat. The mantle is the same colors as the shield.
The motto is Soli Deo Honour et Gloria, "To God alone be Honor and Glory".
The motto can be placed above the crest or below the shield.
