Heraldry

 

Styles of Heraldry

 

The various styles of regional heraldry can be roughly broken into 6 categories: 1) Anglo-Norman, 2) Germanic, 3) Iberian, 4) Italian, 5) Polish and 6) Hungarian. All these styles of heraldry developed after about 1100. Anglo_Norman heraldry is normally taken as base style and only right style. In these few pages I am concentarted on Hungarian heraldry, since my medieval person is Hungarian.
