Chiefs of Allegiance per Mistress Gunnfor silfrahar: There are really two chiefs of allegiance we see: the Guelphs supported the Pope and used a chief of allegiance of the Kingdom of Naples (azure fleury Or a label gules), the Ghibellines supported the Holy Roman Emperor and used a chief of allegiance of the Empire (gules, an eagle sable | Chiefs of Allegiance per Mistress Gunnfor silfrahar: There are really two chiefs of allegiance we see: the Guelphs supported the Pope and used a chief of allegiance of the Kingdom of Naples (azure fleury Or a label gules), the Ghibellines supported the Holy Roman Emperor and used a chief of allegiance of the Empire (gules, an eagle sable). To further signal loyalties, the Guelphs used square crenellations on their architecture, while the Ghibellines used swallowtail crenelations. ANY Italian armory is likely to have these chiefs of allegiance. You will find LOTS in the Insignia series. Oh, and it's perfectly possible to find a chief of Naples on arms with a blue field, just as it is possible to find a chief of Empire on a gold field. i.e., zero contrast. The chief of allegiance isn't really part of the arms, it's a plea "don;t kill me, I'm your ally!" See http://www.vikinganswerlady.com/Stars/Rolls_of_Arms.html | ||
