I love to come at things from 101 aspect as much as possible.

Connor, would you be able to, we've thrown the word around a few times.

What is heraldry?

Like for those at home and that are listening and watching, like if you don't, aren't familiar

with the word, what is it?

So heraldry was developed by King Edward III of England.

And it's, its purpose is to trace the family that you originally came from.

So its purpose is that so if you are of a noble or royal blood, you can easily trace back to that lineage.

And then also he also laid the foundations for future generations of that particular family.

So that's the reason why he developed

heraldry in England and it spread throughout Europe and most of the world after his death.

I mean, like, it was like, it was like the perfect tool of finding out your personal bloodline

to that particular person.

I mean, it's, it, it was a very, very easy process to do.

I mean, like, if you were of a, for example, so let's say you're of a noble descent.

So let's say if you're of the Dukes of Beaufort, okay, so you're assigned with a particular coat of arms going back into history. So let's say your bloodline goes back to the 14th

century, yeah, okay? Let's say your bloodline goes back to the 14th century. So then you'll be able

to trace your lineage to people who came before you and after

you. So like there's a, they always kept colleges of arms. They always keep that because it's like

a genealogical repository of where you're're where you actually came from.
