1 Knightly Symbols Students will: Learn about the art of heraldry and coats of arms, and their role in a knight s life and career Gain a basic understanding of symbolism on coats of arms and what different colors, animals, and patterns mean Assessment: Create their own family coat of arms that contains colors, images, and a motto that apply to their own families Time Requirement: minutes Supplies: Heraldic Ordinaries sheet (included) Colors and Symbolism chart (included) Blank shields (size/material can vary according to resources) or copies of shield outline (one per student, included) Crayons, markers, colored pencils, or paints and paintbrushes (as appropriate) Guided Discussion: 1. Just like sports today, knights took place in competitions called tournaments hundreds of years ago. When we watch a sports event today, how can we tell which player is which and what team they belong to? 2. As with uniforms today, each knight had a special design, called a coat of arms, so that people could identify who he was. Coats of arms contained colors and symbols that were important to their families. These symbols made them recognizable to the people in the crowd, many of whom were poor and could not read a knight s name. 3. Display the blank shield outline. Many knights displayed their coat of arms on their shield. A shield was often divided using designs called ordinaries. Display or pass out the Heraldic Ordinaries sheet. 4. The colors on a coat of arms represented qualities that were meaningful to the knight or his family. Usually, 2-4 colors were used on a coat of arms. Ask students what colors represent their (or their favorite professional) sports team(s). Go over the seven main tinctures, or colors, used in medieval coats of arms, and their meanings on the Colors and Symbolism chart. Do colors have certain meaning to students? When they see black, white, yellow, or some other color, what do students think of or feel? 5. Coats of arms also contained animals or objects with special meanings. These were similar to team mascots of today. Who are the mascots from students favorite sports teams? Make connections with if a modern mascot if it is the same as a heraldic animal/symbol (birds, lion, tiger, etc.). Briefly go over a number of the animals on the given list and their meanings. The list may be reproduced for individual or small groups of students to study at their leisure.

2 6. Another important element of a coat of arms is a motto. A motto is a short saying that describes a family, its character, and goals. Classroom Activity: 1. Distribute a shield to each student. First, have them choose one of the seven ordinaries as the base design for their field. After they have chosen an ordinary, have them decorate it with color(s), symbolism, and a motto that represents themselves and their families. Why did they choose the symbols and motto they did? Extension Activity: Family was essential in determining someone s eligibility for knighthood, and in developing a coat of arms. At tournaments, knights would have to prove that they descended from a noble line in order to compete. Have students create their own family tree, tracing back their lineage at least three generations. For a full lesson plan, see What s in a (Family) Name? (Social Studies).
