VARIOUS SORTS OF ARMS.
Arms are not only granted to individuals and families, but also to cities, corporate bodies,
and learned societies. They may therefore be classed as follows:—
Arms of DOMINION, PRETENSION, CONCESSION.
COMMUNITY, PATRONAGE, FAMILY.
ALLIANCE, AND SUCCESSION.
Arms of Dominion or Sovereignty are properly the arms of the kings or sovereigns of the
territories they govern, which are also regarded as the arms of the State. Thus the Lions of
England and the Russian Eagle are the arms of the Kings of England and the Emperors
of Russia, and cannot properly be altered by a change of dynasty.
Arms of Pretension are those of kingdoms, provinces, or territories to which a prince or
lord has some claim, and which he adds to his own, though the kingdoms or territories
are governed by a foreign king or lord: thus the Kings of England for many ages
quartered the arms of France in their escutcheon as the descendants of Edward III.,
who claimed that kingdom, in right of his mother, a French princess.
Arms of Concession are arms granted by sovereigns as the reward of virtue, valour,
or extraordinary service. All arms granted to subjects were originally conceded
by the Sovereign.
Arms of Community are those of bishoprics, cities, universities, academies, societies,
and corporate bodies.
Arms of Patronage are such as governors of provinces, lords of manors, add to their
family arms as a token of their superiority, right, and jurisdiction.
Arms of Family, or paternal arms, are such as are hereditary and belong to one
particular family, which none others have a right to assume, nor can they do so
without rendering themselves guilty of a breach of the laws of honour punishable by
the Earl Marshal and the Kings at Arms. The assumption of arms has however become
so common that little notice is taken of it at the present time.
Arms of Alliance are those gained by marriage.
Arms of Succession are such as are taken up by those who inherit certain estates
by bequest, entail, or donation.
