Société française d'héraldique et de sigillographie Heraldry Héraldique Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. L’héraldique est la science du blason, c'est-à-dire l'étude des armoiries (ou armes). C'est aussi un champ d'expression artistique, un élément du droit médiéval et du droit d’Ancien Régime. Actuellement, elle constitue une science auxiliaire de l'histoire au même titre que la sigillographie, la vexillologie, la phaléristique, la diplomatique… L'héraldique s'est développée au Moyen Âge dans toute l'Europe comme un système cohérent d'identification non seulement des personnes[1], mais aussi en partie des lignées (le blason pouvant être transmis par héritage en traduisant le degré de parenté) et des collectivités humaines, ce qui en fait un système emblématique unique en un temps où la reconnaissance et l'identification passaient rarement par l'écrit.
