Ep 13 "Oh the banners!": of sigils and heraldry

Ragman’s Harbour

In this episode, your hosts take you on a journey to medieval and not so medieval Europe to explore the rich world of heraldry to compare it to its Westeros counterpart: sigils.

Who gets to have a coat of arms? How to pick your doodle? What are the rules? Are imaginary coat of arms a new thing?

We discovered so much we didn't know about, it was an actual delight to learn so much -and hopefully you enjoy learning with us. It's not just pretty images, but it is *also* pretty images. And identity.
