== British Tradition ==▼
British heraldry (or more precisely [[Wikipedia:English_heraldry| Anglo]]-[[Wikipedia:Irish_heraldry|Irish]] heraldry) is a collection of similar traditions, encompassing both the tradition practiced by the College of Arms, as well as the Irish tradition practiced by the Office of the Chief Herald of Ireland. The Anglo-Irish tradition is also the main tradition of Australia, New Zealand as well as most of the Commonwealth and the most important basis for heraldry in Canada, The United States and South Africa.▼

[[File:Coat of arms of Canada rendition.svg|thumb|400px| Coat of arms of Canada]]
=== Features ===
'''Canadian heraldry''' is heavily influenced by British heraldry but takes '''creative elements from other traditions''', most notably indigenous Canadian art.
De to the multicultural background of the Canadian population, this tradition is '''fairly liberal in its rules and adherence to tradition''', taking '''elements of various other traditions and para-heraldic practices'''.
'''Canadian heraldry''' notably uses a '''variety of unique helmets''' not found in other heraldic traditions, such as Corinthian helmets, nasal helmets, UN Peacekeeping helmets, parka hoods, and even astronaut helmets. It also uses a '''variety of shield shapes''', including round shields inspired by drums for some indigenous armigers. Indigenous art styles are incorporated into Canadian heraldry, and some charges may be blazoned as being depicted in a certain art style.

=== Features ===
The different traditions in the lowlands are the result of '''mixed influences, especially German and French'''. It is thanks to the work of people such as [[Wikipedia:Johannes_Rietstap| J. B. Rietstap]] in the XIX th century that the lowland really developed a distinct and codified tradition. Due to the history of the lowlands as a trading hub, it's not uncommon to encounter arms originating from other tradition especially Portuguese arms. <br>
The main feature of this tradition is the use of the '''barred helmet''' (often with a golden trim and a collar) and that for all individual they be from nobility or not. The use of a '''belt''' to attach the shield to the helm is also prominent, especially in Belgian heraldry. Traditionally, the '''torses of Nederlandse coat of arms also have five twists''' contrary to the six often seen in the
'''Crest in the lowlands usually features typically Germanic charges''' such as wings or horns but '''many also feature demi-human figures''', especially those that date back to after the Dutch Revolt (1566). <br>
'''Belgian Heraldry is also known for blazoning not only the motto but the scroll''', indicating the colours of the letters and of the scroll itself. <br>
'''Both system do not have a system of cadency''', all descendent of the armiger inherit his arms equally. In the late Middle Ages arms were often distinguished by changing one of its feature (usually tinctures or number of charges) but this is no longer the case for modern grants.

Line 124 ⟶ 168:
Arms from this tradition are commonly depicted on either half-round Iberian shields or on more ornate but still rather simple "Polish" baroque shapes. Common charges include various mixed geometric shapes (often inspired by pre-heraldic symbols of the region such as [[Wikipedia:Tamga| Tamgas]]), arrows and other weapons, celestial bodies. Common types of crests include ostrich and peacock feathers and wings, either plain or with additional charges. '''Repetition of charges from the shield in the crest''' is, too, fairly wide spread.
'''Due to a lack of regulation and precedent, it is not unclear how a proper achievement assumed by a citizen should look like.''' Indeed, mon-noble heraldry was non-existent in this tradition, resulting in a lack of a ranked helm system. The arms borne by an untitled nobleman would have had a shield and a crest upon a crowned iron helm with golden bars and a golden necklace
