Quinn Shield (Thomond branch). The practice of bearing an individual coat of arms reaches back to the 12th century. In the confusion of battle, knights in armour could only be identified by the markings on their defensive shields. Such markings were entrusted to officials known as heralds, who created and recorded armorial bearings and regulated their allocation. The written records are technically known as BLAZONS, Most Blazons have three components: ARMS, CREST and MOTTO. In medieval times the arms were borne on the knights defensive shield - the crest on his battle helmet. Mottos often originated as a war cry. The coat of arms is separate and distinct from the crest.
