IHGS Heraldic Challenge – March 2024

This month’s challenge is designed to get you thinking about visual clues and words used to  describe heraldic charges which may no longer be in modern usage.

The task is straightforward:

1. Discover the names of the families associated with each of the five coats of arms depicted below.

2. Identify the design feature that the arms have in common.
