Medieval Europe: Coat of Arms
The Purpose of a Coat of Arms: Few people in medieval Europe were literate, so they identified themselves, their castles, horses, etc.
If you have a surname of European origin, chances are you have a crest or a coat of arms, also known as a family shield. Here is one of many Rainey family shields found through research.
Your Family Crest: Research your coat of arms and its meaning. If you cannot find a coat of arms for your surname, try researching another surname from your family, or even your first name. Prepare one slide about your family shield for a whole class slide-show presentation.

Your slide should include an image of the shield, as well as three to four bullet points explaining the symbolism. To find information on symbolism, go here.
Be sure to follow proper etiquette for collaborating on a shared document.
