what the hell did weasels and squirrels look like back in the day?

Tailors would take the white coats of several ermine weasels and sow them into a coat then they'd take the black tipped tails of the ermine and hang them off the coat. It was basically a way for the wearer of the coat to provide that they were wearing real ermine, which was very expensive because they had to be imported from the arctic.

British heraldry uses the Anglo-Norman language, a dialect of French, thus or, argent, and other vocabulary. This makes it unique; other countries use their usual language for blazoning. Anglo-Norman was the language of the aristocracy, at least until Philippe II conquered Normandy for France in 1204. Anglo-Norman survives in a few bits of British legalese: Oyez, oyez, etc. And the last generation of Anglo-Norman speakers on the Channel Islands of Jersey and Guernsey still speak a version of it.

I wish more of us Americans would watch this… too many people using don’t understand the difference between a crest and the whole coat of arms…

You do realise that English people don’t give a flying fvck about coat of arms and it’s basically an American obsession? We HATE the aristocracy in England.

@@notacaulkhead I understand, however it’s more about people saying things properly. And yes, I understand, I’m very annoyed with these people being obsessed with arms, especially when they don’t belong to them. ☠️☠️☠️

Though to be fair, it is _medieval_ French so it wouldn't be pronounced like modern French either... but certainly not like this of course
