This may be answered in Ms. Butterfield’s book, but the only copy I ever saw was on eBay. It quickly got out of my price range as it sold for over $500. Why did she not use a lozenge for the AGD or ZTA shield? In heraldry, a woman can only use a lozenge for her shield unless she is a sovereign. The other shield designs are considered masculine and more appropriate for one that must bear arms. Traditionally, women did not fight and thus did not bear arms. Any insight would be helpful.
