Re: [Mid] Re: [MK Heralds] Quartering of Arms

The original reasons for not permitting quartered arms are twofold:

philosophical - each member should be free to develope their own persona and
heraldry appropriate to it, and

practical - the College of Heralds is concerned that gentles with registered
quartered arms (registered using the time and resources of the CoH), would
want to drop these arms at a later date when they developed a persona for
themselves and wanted unique heraldry (which means an additional submission
process, again using the time and resources of the College).

Now, if we developed a well-paid, professional heraldic staff... Remember,
it only costs a couple thousand dollars to have the English College of Arms
design your heraldry (amd you get *no* input, under most circumstances).

Hope this helps. I'll have my heraldic resume updated, just in case.
