Why are there so many partial fleur de lis? Looks like it would be a bitch to draw

>>3318694
Dank.

>>3318696
In heraldry it's called a semé motif. I've been told that it's supposed to represent infinity, possibly as a statement (like, "the power of the French kings spreads everywhere"). But it might juste be an aesthetic choice too, we're not even really sure where the fleur-de-lys comes from. They might even originally be bees, as it was a symbol of the Frankish kings.

Weighing stuff.

>>3319070
Weighing scutches of flax of course. Did you drop out of high school?

>>3319102
Sorry, I couldn't tell that was 'a scutch of flax' because I didn't go to high school in Seers Village

That is a Ukrainian head. Don't forget that Khokhols fought the Mag-Bags too.

My family(portuguese) crest has not one, not two, but three severed heads of moors. A bit overkill if you ask me.

But what do these black things mean? Are they related to brittany? I've seen them on non-breton arms too

>>3319686

Oh yeah, didn't mean to say that it's not a flower. It's a lily, it has Christian signification, was also used by Romans as symbols of royalty, and then later Franks and Lombards adopted the flower as a symbol as well. But historians with possibly too much time on their hand have debated about how the lily went simply from symbolic flower among others to heraldry, how and when it became particularly the symbols of the French kings, or on the fact that it looks more like an iris than a lily.

The official story for the French kings was that God sent the symbol to Clovis, who was considered the first king of France in royal historiography.

Fun fact, the medieval coat of arms of Bulgaria and England are almost the same.

the pattern represents ermine fur. i don't think it really symbolizes anything deeper, at least that we know of today.

IIRC some Spanish town was attacked by the moors but pretty much all the men were gone in war elsewhere, so some woman fended off the entire siege force by throwing beehives at them.

Did you know that the Unicorn in village or town arms is a coded sign for heathen cult place? Like almost all villages will have a some sort of a stone circle, mound burial site or something like that close.
