Enquerre, (fr.), Armes а. q.v. (фр.), см. Исключительные гербы.. В геральдике выделяются гербовые фигуры (Armorial bearings, фр. Armoiries), к которым, строго говоря, относятся те, помещены в гербовом щите. Нашлемники, бэджи и иные подобные им символы описывать так неверно. Происхождение или время появления древнейших гербовых фигур вызывает массу споров и само по себе требует глубокого научного исследования. Способы восприятия и причины для ношения гербов разными авторами описываются различным образм, но приводимые далее разновидности, представляют собой наиболее распространённую классификацию. Герб господства (Arms of Dominion) ограничиваются суверенным князьям, являясь гербами тех государств которыми эти князья правят. Гербы претензий (Arms of Pretension) принадлежат суверенам, не имеющим фактической над государством, герб которого они в ключают в свой составной герб, чтобы заявить своё право на них, основанное на древнем обычае (to express their prescriptive right thereunto). Гербы наследования (Arms of Succession), иначе – феодальные/ленные гербы (feudal arms), носители которых обладают правом земельное владение или имущество. Родовые гербы (Arms of Family) являются наследственными и принадлежат всем (с должными различиями) потомкам первого гербовладельца. Гербы успения (Arms of Assumption) могут быть правомочно приняты от первоначального владельца сообразно определённым законам и иначем чем путём дарения или по праву происхождения. Брачные гербы (Arms of Alliance) – гербы жены, воспринимаемые мужем и его герб, включаемый в герб наследниц, вступивших в брак с его семьёй. Герыб восприятия/ усыновления (Arms of Adoption) передаваемые стороннему человеку последним из законных владельцев герба, титула и имущества (estates). Гербы уступки (Arms of Concession) жалуются за важную услугу суверну; пожалование почти всегда состоит из аугментации (см.) Герб патронажа (Arms of Patronage): младшее дворянство или джентри получают герб более знатного. Должностные гербы (Arms of Office), носят епископы, приходские прелаты, гербовые короли и т.п. Гербы сообществ (Arms of Community), принадлежат городам, посёлкам, аббатствам, университетам, колледжам, гильдиям, торговм компаниям и т.п. Гербы аббатсв и колледжей обычно принаджлежат их основателям с прибавлением церковныхэлементов (митра,крест или ключ). Такие гербы и герба суверенов вернее называть знаками отличия/регалиями (Insignia). The Royal Arms. Arms have been assigned in subsequent times to all the early kings of England from Alfred the Great onwards, but the earliest English sovereign for whose insignia we have any contemporary authority is Richard Cœur-de-Lion. From that time onwards the series is complete; and in most cases the great seal of each successive reign affords a good illustration. The following notes will be found to represent a brief summary of the more important changes. Though we have no authority for the arms of WILLIAM I., WILLIAM RUFUS, or HENRY I., writers agree in ascribing to them the following. Gules, two lions[or leopards] passant gardant in pale or. Some ingenious writer, knowing that the Sagittarius was ascribed as the badge of KING STEPHEN, substituted it for the lions in the Royal arms, but following late examples, placed three instead of two upon the shield. According to a theory of comparatively late date, HENRY II., upon his marriage with Eleanor, daughter and heiress of the Duke of Aquitaine and Guyenne, added another lion, and hence the Insignia of England(q.v.) Gules, three lions passant gardant in pale[called the lions of England] or. These arms appear very distinctly upon the great seal of his successor, RICHARD I., but there is a second great seal of this king(perhaps even earlier), in which a portion of the shield is shewn, and(possibly by carelessness of the die-cutter) this contains a lion counter-rampant. The great seals of JOHN, HENRY III., and EDWARD I. exhibit the arms of England very clearly. The seal of EDWARD II. is without a coat of arms, but there is abundance of other evidence for ascribing the same to him. Le Roy de Engleterre, porte de goules a iij lupars passauns de or» – Roll, temp. ED. II. EDWARD III., for some years after his accession, bore the same arms, but after 1340 he bore» – Quarterly 1 and 4; azure semy of fleur-de-lis or[for France] 2 and 3, arms of England. On the seal is represented, for the first time, a distinct crest(a lion passant on a chapeau). There are several authorities for the same arms being borne by RICHARD II.; but towards the end of his reign he impaled the imaginary arms of EDWARD THE CONFESSOR, his patron Saint. Существует несколько источников, по-разному трактующих значение герба, принадлежавшего Ричарду II, но к концу его правления он присоединил к своему гербу мифический герб Эдуарда Исповедника, своего небесного покровителя. (перевод от Нади) Azure, a cross patonce between five martlets or. HENRY IV. bears on his great seal the same arms, and apparently a similar crest. The badges of HENRY V. are sometimes given as the supporters of the arms of HENRY IV., but on no good authority. HENRY V. bears the same arms, but CHARLES VI. of France having reduced the number of fleur-de-lys in the arms of that kingdom to three, the arms of HENRY V. were then altered, and appear so in the great seal. HENRY VI. the same; and the arms appear with two antelopes argent, attired, unguled, and spotted or, gorged with crowns as supporters, and the motto, Dieu et mon droit. EDWARD IV., EDWARD V., and RICHARD III., the same arms, with supporters 'a lion rampant argent, and a bull sable armed and unguled or;' and in one case 'two white boars armed, unguled, and bristled or.' HENRY VII. and HENRY VIII., EDWARD VI., MARY and ELIZABETH the same arms, excepting that after Mary's marriage with king Philip, she bore the arms of the two sovereigns impaled, viz. with that of PHILIP on the dexter. Throughout the supporters appear varied. A dragon gules and a greyhound argent appear with the arms of HENRY VII. A dragon and greyhound, also a lion and greyhound, with those of HENRY VIII. A lion and dragon with those of EDWARD VI. A lion and greyhound with those of MARY, and a lion and dragon with those of ELIZABETH. But the authorities, chiefly in sculpture and painting, are not much to be depended on. JAMES I. On his great seal we find the following:» – Quarterly, I. and IV. counter quartered: 1 and 4 France; 2 and 3 England. II. Or, a lion rampant within a double tressure flory counter flory gules» – Scotland. III. Azure, a harp or stringed argent» – Ireland. These arms were continued to be used by CHARLES I., CHARLES II., and JAMES II., and are usually represented in carving, painting, &c., with the same supporters, namely, the lion and the unicorn. It may be noted, however, that CROMWELL, as Protector, bore:» – Quarterly 1 and 4; argent a cross gules[i.e. of St.George, for England]. 2, Azure, a saltire argent[i.e. of St.Andrew, for Scotland]. 3, Azure, a harp or, stringed argent[for Ireland], and on an escutcheon surtout sable a lion rampant gardant argent[for Cromwell]. WILLIAM and MARY bore the same arms, but the former with an escutcheon surtout bearing the arms of NASSAU(Azure, semé of billets and a lion rampant or). Queen ANNE bore the arms of JAMES II., but on the union with Scotland in 1707 the Royal Arms were marshalled:» – Quarterly 1 and 4, England impaled with Scotland; 2 France; 3 Ireland; GEORGE I. and GEORGE II. the same, except that in the fourth quartering the arms of HANOVER were substituted for ENGLAND. GEORGE III. After the Treaty of Amiens in 1801 the Arms of France were abandoned and the Royal Arms were:» – Quarterly 1 and 4 England; 2 Scotland; 3 Ireland; an escutcheon with the arms of Hanover surtout ensigned with the electoral bonnet[afterwards with a crown]. GEORGE IV. and WILLIAM IV. the same. VICTORIA as follows:» – Quarterly 1 and 4 England; 2 Scotland; 3 Ireland. From JAMES I. onwards the Lion and Unicorn remained the supporters, generally with the same motto, Dieu et mon droit.
