Editing Heraldry (section)

{{Quote|I might mention ... that the rules of heraldry are a good deal more flexible in the [[Seven Kingdoms]] than they became by the [[w:Late Middle Ages|late Middle Ages]] in the real world. There are no "laws" of heraldry per se, no college of heralds for enforcement, no formal regulations about cadency and differencing. So individual [[knight]]s and [[lord]]s have a certain amount of freedom to bear what shields they prefer and play around with their house sigils... or not, as the case may be.<ref name="ssm-heraldry"/>|[[George R.

{{Quote|Well, I have to admit I enjoy the heraldry just for its own sake, although I have played fast and loose with some of the real world heraldic conventions. A lot of bad [[w:Fantasy|Fantasy]] takes place in a sort of [[w:Walt Disney Studios (division)|Disney Middle Ages]], and that had no appeal to me, but I did not want to write thousands of pages about mud and lice and plague either. That would be just as false, in the other direction. The [[w:Middle Ages|real Middle Ages]] had room for both plagues and pageantry, and I wanted both sides in my books as well -- heightened somewhat, since this is Fantasy.<ref>[[So Spake Martin]]: [https://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Entry/1427 Outland Interview], September 25, 2000</ref>|[[George R.

{{Quote|'''Duncan''': What book is that?<br>
'''Aegon''': A roll of arms, ser.<br>
'''Duncan''': Looking for [[Daemon II Blackfyre|the Fiddler]]? You won't find him. They don't put [[hedge knight]]s in those rolls, just [[lord]]s and champions.{{ref|TMK}}|[[Duncan the Tall]] and [[Aegon V Targaryen|Aegon Targaryen]]}}

{{Quote|You [[Westeros]]i are all the same. You sew some beast upon a scrap of silk, and suddenly you are all [[House Lannister|lions]] or [[House Targaryen|dragons]] or [[House Mallister|eagles]].{{Ref|ADWD|1}}|[[Illyrio Mopatis]] to [[Tyrion Lannister]]}}
