Heraldry emerged in the twelfth century when feudalism began, when knights needed to be identified with family lines and feudal social postitions, as friend or foe. The symbol worn on a tabard over the armor made this distinction possible.

The coat of arms of Nigeria was adopted on May 20,1960.

In countries like the united kingdom, where there is a continuing history of official use and regulation of Coats of Arms, you can get Arms if you are determined to be eligible to display a coat of arms. A coat of arms is issued to one person, not a family and this is decided by the office of heralds or the King of Arms. If you do not have authorization from the heralds you are not able to display any coat of arms. The rules for determining who is eligible to display a coat of arms are very similar to the rules for becoming King or Queen. However, even the proper heir cannot display the coat of arms until he or she has received authorization by the heralds. At any one time, only one person my rightfully display a coat of arms. To find out more about this the British government operates a web site. However in countries like the United States, where heraldry is not regulated, there is no limitation on the creation or display of Coats of Arms. There is also little value in recently created Coats of Arms since there is no limitation on them

Jamaica's Coat of Arms represents Jamaica in different aspects: the pineapples - as the indigenous fruits, the Arawak figures - as the first inhabitants, and the crocodile - as the indigenous reptile in the country. The use of the Royal Helmet and Mantlings is a unique distinction accorded to Jamaica.

Yes it does, an old one and a more modern one. Both are similar

the Ui Neill were hereditary chiefs of tyrone in ulster. they accepted the title Earl of Tyrone from the tudors and later went into exile with most of the other chieftains in 1605 after defeat in the 9 year war against elizabeth 1.

That's incorrect. The O'NEILL accecpted the Earldom. The ancestors of the O'Neill family were called the Ui Neill, but this was not a surname, just a dynastic term. The O'Neills take their surname from an ancestor called Niall Glundubh (as far as I recall) who lived and died in the 10th century. It was his grandson or great-grandsons who first used the surname O'Neill.

The term Ui Neill describes the descendants of Niall Niogaillach mac Eochagh Mughmeadon (died about 450), but, as I said, was simply a descriptive term used to denote them as descendants of Niall; surnames would not be used in Ireland until hundreds of years later.

The ostrich is not on Australia's coat of arms. The bird is an emu. It is there because, like the kangaroo, the emu is unable to take a step backwards. Therefore, it is a symbol of progressive movement forwards.

Pineapples are an indigenous fruit. Pineapple also seems to be a symbol of hospitality. I'm searching for the same answer, so if anyone knows anymore, please speak up.

The coat of arms of India has four Indian lions standing on a circle. The idea was taken from the Sarnath Lion Capital that was built by an Indian emperor named Ashoka. He built it around 250 BCE using a single piece of polished sandstone.

The first discovery of an Iguandon was found in Maidstone (at that time a village) in 1834. It became known as the Maidstone Iguanodon. It still sits proudly on the Maidstone and Maidstone United Football Club coat of arms.

The emblem of Israel (not a Coat of Arms) shows a menorah surrounded by an olive branch on each side. The Hebrew lettering for "Israel" is writtng below the menorah, between the olive branches.

That is not a bull, but an aurochs.

These big, majestic creatures, now extinct, used to live on the Romanian territory and were a symbol of royalty. The image of an aurochs (in Romanian named "Bour") was the emblem of Moldavia, one of the three small Romanian kingdoms that get united in 1824 with Muntenia and in 1918 with Transylvania, forming the modern Romania. This is why nowadays you'll find the symbols of all the 3 kingdoms on the Romanian official emblem.

Romania still has natural reservations where there are hordes of free bisons. (They resemble the old aurochs, as they belong to the same family)

There is an old legend saying that while hunting an aurochs, a prince called Dragos, coming from the other side of the Carpathians, from the Romanian region of Maramures, discovered a beautiful land. He called the land Moldavia and became its first King. This is why they used the image of the aurochs in their emblem. There are different theories about where comes the name Moldova from. Some said it was the name of the hunting dog that guided the king there (Molda), some consider that it derives from the name of a big river or a species of spruce. Actually, nobody knows exactly.
