Bretonnian Heraldry: Essential Guide

THE SHORT VERSION

Tammy Haye explains how fields, emblems and marks of excellence identify a Bretonnian knight’s family and achievements. Restricted colours and contrasting metal or plain fields keep designs readable, while increasingly elaborate versions of the same emblem express advancement through the knightly ranks. A transfer workshop shows how to trim, soak, protect and alter designs. The guide combines fictional heraldic conventions with practical ways to personalise a large mounted army.
