Heraldry – Paulo Perneta
The description and study of coat of arms or shields is in charge of heraldry. The origins of heraldry date back to the times of the Middle Ages, where it was imperative to distinguish participants in battles and tournaments, so there was a need to use recognizable flags or banners at a certain distance. The differentiation was defined by the sovereign through the attribution of certain colors and other identifying elements to be painted on the shields of his main servants.
