Summary
[edit]DescriptionComplete Guide to Heraldry Fig745.png |
English: Fig. 745. If a husband be a knight of an order (contrasted to a Knight Bachelor), the ensigns of that order are personal to himself, and cannot be shared with his wife. Consequently two shields are employed. On the dexter shield are the arms of the husband with the circle of his order of knighthood, and on the sinister shield are the arms of the husband impaling the arms of the wife. Some meaningless decoration, usually a wreath of oak-leaves, is placed round the sinister shield to "balance," from the artistic point, the ribbon, or the ribbon and collar, as the case may be, of the order of knighthood of the husband. |
