Heraldry is the design, use, regulation, and recording of coats of arms [''wapens'']. Originally, coats of arms were granted to individuals, not families. However, sometimes the right to bear a coat of arms was inherited by the descendants of the person whom it was granted to. | Heraldry is the design, use, regulation, and recording of coats of arms [''wapens''].
