(Medieval Kite shield)

The so-called kite shield had mainly a flat design, as depicted in the Bayeux tapestry. The soldiers are shown using their shields as trays on which to set the cups and dishes. Sometimes, the shield was bowed, and might also have a projecting spike, as in the Great Seal of King Stephen. Generally, this was the favorite form until the end of the 12th century.

(Bayeux Tapestry)

The tapestry consists of some fifty scenes with Latin tituli (captions), embroidered on linen with coloured woollen yarns. It is likely that it was commissioned by Bishop Odo, William's half-brother, and made in England—not Bayeux—in the 1070s.

(Amphiptere)

An amphiptere is a winged serpent found very rarely in heraldry, though it does exist as a supporter and as a charge on a shield occasionally.

(Cherevon)

The Chevron occurs very frequently in British and French heraldry.
Special meaning depiction for both banner and shield with same signets.

(Helmet Armory)

Helmets worn in painting ca. 13th, 14th & 15th Centuries.
