Britain’s tradition of heraldry has its origins in the Norman Conquest, and is often perceived as a medieval form of visual expression, yet HM College of Arms and the Court of Lord Lyon have never been busier than in the 21st century.

Men, women, corporations, councils, professional bodies and universities in the UK and throughout the Commonwealth are petitioning the Crown for Arms in greater numbers than at any time in the past.

This lecture explores this most contemporary of ancient art forms in a visual feast of pageantry from postage stamps to pixels.
