Sorry, this made me laugh a bit, given that heraldry has it's roots in "chivalrous/knightly stuff" -- the knight's shield, the crest on the knight's helmet . . . .
And yes, heraldry-speak can be a bit confusing when it's unfamiliar. Once you get used to it and learn what it all means, it's very precise.
