An Armorial of the Livro Do Armeiro-Mor The Livro Do Armeiro-Mor (The Book of the Master-Armorer) or O Livro Grande (The Great Book) as it is commonly called is a large, illustrated armorial of Portuguese arms completed in 1509. It was commissioned by King John II (Joao II) of Portugal and, according to the English summary in the facsimile edition, probably organized and illuminated by Joao du Cros, a Frenchman, who was Portugal King-of-Arms at the time the book was finished, and whose arms and seal appear on the book contract. The armorial begins with an illuminated title page bearing the arms of the Portugal King-at-Arms. This is followed with an index which begins with the Nine Worthies, the kings of various real and fanciful kingdoms, the great nobles and ecclesiastics of Europe, and finally the arms of the Portuguese nobility. In my copy of the work the pages with the arms of the Nine Worthies have been razored out so my copy of the book begins with the arms of Bertrand du Guesclin who is, presumably, the alternate Worthy. All the arms are heavily diapered with crests and stylized mantling. In some cases the diapering is sufficiently complex that it detracts from the identifiability of the arms. All blazons are my own based on my interpretation of the emblazons. Where the device is on a lozenge or an unusually shaped shield I have noted the fact before the blazon. Almost all arms have a scroll at the bottom of the shield with the name of the bearer on it. In most cases the name has been abbreviated and altered by its translation from the original language into 15th century heraldic Portuguese. I have done my best to correctly transcribe the original text that accompanies each device. My transcription follows the blazon in parentheses. Where possible, I have also listed the modern English name of the owner where I could make a reasonable guess or could confirm the arms from another source. The English name appears in brackets after the original text.) Where there are oddities in the emblazon I have listed them in brackets after the entry. Conventions of Blazoning Blazons use SCA default positions and terms whenever possible. The major peculiarity of my blazoning is that I use the term party of six to describe a field division that most heralds would blazon as per fess...overall a pale counterchanged. However, in 15th and 16th century usage, I believe that party of six was seen as being a legitimate, separate parting of the field. Since it was common practice to put a group of three charges in the default position on such fields it is much simpler to say, Party of six azure and Or, three roundels azure. than it is to say Per fess azure and Or on a pale counterchanged between in chief two roundels another roundel azure. The other oddity in my blazon is that I will blazon a group of identical or alternating charges on a bordure as a seme. This is not actually correct. In all cases in the manuscript a seme of inanimate charges is actually drawn as an orle. The charges are not staggered and are not drawns so that they are cut off by the edges of the bordure the way that they would be in a properly drawn seme. Animate charges are even more unusual. A "seme" of animals rampant will usually have the beasts rampant respectant on the dexter and sinister sides of the shield and passant to chief and to base. In all cases, the posture of the animals will be modified to conform to the line of the escutcheon, so some of the beasts aren't really in a heraldic posture at all! An accurate description of "seme of wolves passant" would have the beasties marching counter clockwise in a file around the bordure. Another regularly encountered feature of heraldry from the Iberian peninsula is the distinctive arrangement of six charges. Whereas the Anglo-Norman and Germanic default seems to be three, two, and one. The Iberian default seems to be two, two, and two making two columns of three. Larger numbers of charges are also found in pale in three columns of four, five, and four. In these cases I have blazoned the position of the charges as ...six two, two, and two... or ...13 in pale four, five and four... since these seem to be the clearest blazons. In some cases the arms are not so much arms as achievements of arms and can be quite complex. In these cases I have attempted to simplify things by putting the various quarters or impalings of the shield in parentheses. e.g. Quarterly 1 and 4 (Gules, an orle, cross, and saltire argent chain all conjoined overall seme of bezants in orle, cross, and saltire and in fess point a quatrefoil voided Or.) 2 and 3 (Azure, three fleur-de-lys Or overall a bendlet compony argent and sable.) (Rei d navarra [King of Navarre] p. 178 In other cases I have resorted to heraldic shorthand, and have just blazoned complex devices consisting of quarters of very famous arms by name, e.g. Ancient France impaling Holy Roman Empire. I have only done this where these arms are just given as a quartering of a more complex coat of arms. Where they are listed as a separate device I have blazoned the whole device. In some cases a very famous device will be incorporated into a bordure, label or chief. In these cases I will occasionally refer to this feature by the name of the more famous device. e.g. a label of Sicily (a label with the arms of Sicily repeated on it's "points"), or a chief of Empire (a chief Or an eagle displayed sable.) The blazons of these famous arms are given below for those not familiar with them. Holy Roman Empire Or, an double-headed eagle displayed sable.
