Hi guys,Same question if he wished to keep the Coat but change or alter the Crest?
if the direct male descendent of someone granted a Coat of Arms wished to alter it, by adding an extra charge, for example, in the early 1800s, would he have had to do that via the College of Heralds, or could he just go ahead without any authority?
Thanks

I agree that in Scotland any changes to a coat of arms, by younger sons for example, have to be matriculated at the Court of the Lord Lyon, which exerts strict controls over the types of difference for each generation.t go upsetting any other armigers, you were probably not going to be bothered.

would get upset. I can quite imagine that an addition to a coat or crest could be made without raising an outcry. On the other hand, this is outside my period of specialisation and I cannot quote any examples from the 1800s where it was actually done.

Where do differencing and cadency come into this?
I assume one is free to use the conventional marks for the Nth son,
but what about in different generations?
It's all very well to understand what the 2nd,3rd,and 4th sons of the 1st baronet are supposed to blazon...but what about their corresponding nephews,great-nephews,etc. who are younger sons of the 2nd,3rd,4th...baronets?
And the younger sons of all the younger sons?

The World Trade Center towers MUST rise again,
at least as tall as before...or terror has triumphed.

I assume one is free to use the conventional marks for the Nth son,I forget if it's LL or the COA that recommends re-matriculation every three or so generations. LE just gave a pretty good rationale on why.
