The Venerable Bede, writing in the early eighth century, describes the banners of King Edwin of East Anglia which 'were not only borne before him in battle, but even in time of peace, when he rode about his cities, towns or provinces ... the standard bearer was wont to go before him'.

This book simplifies the "science" of heraldry and is ideal for the novice and experienced armourist... it revitalises your understanding of the Basics....
This invaluable book has provided me with hours of great reading and has expanded the understanding and deepened my desire to know everything I can about heraldry. It is not only an informative source of reference; it's a feast for the eye of any heraldic artist.
For the casual reader, it is authoritatively written with lots of cleverly rendered images that visually explain the principles and rules of heraldry and it's associated design. What's more, these images are the efforts of possibly the world's most respected heraldic artist.
This is not "Burke's General Armory" with pages and pages of blazon... this is great bedtime reading and research all mixed into one great book. Now who can say that about any typical book on this subject?
Well .... Stop reading my comments... I assure you, you will not be disappointed with this choice...

For the more initiate Friar's "An Heraldic Alphabet" is absolutely invaluable, containing as it does some revolutionary (for such a feudal science) theories about the classifying of Sub-Ordinaries.
The two books together form a useful beginner's library for a Heraldic enthusiast, if one is primarily interested in British Heraldry, although Basic Heraldry does also touch on the European Mainland side of things.
