College of Arms
The College of Arms' Philosophy
Heraldry is so intertwined with the Middle Ages it is impossible to imagine the one without the other. The Royal Order of Chivalry as a medieval society is also deeply connected to heraldry. The College of Arms is responsible for the accuracy of all coats of arms for the Royal Order of Chivalry as well as promote an accurate use of heraldry and the associated medieval skills.
The Royal Order of Chivalry College of Arms will examine, issue, and record all requests for arms. They will also be responsible for the resolution of all heraldic disputes.
A Royal Order of Chivalry herald will also serve his household in the making of announcements, and as the voice of the Head of the Household at various events.
