Coat of Arms vs. Crest

[chopperdude]

gee, you all are pretty sharp on this stuff, and i am not sure i understand all of it. i need to go to the lca pedagogus book and try to understand how ours works. maybe someone can explain it a bit more for me. thanx. i thought the coat of arms which denoted the house of the group was the sheild and the hangings on the side were the capes or robes. the sheild as i was told have symbols that designate certain things that have meaning for the house of of the king or lord of the manor/estate. not sure what you are refering to as the crest other than the helment we have. yes, i have read and reread this thread. Still cloudy.

Hi Tom!

To answer your question though, the Crest is what is suspended over the shield of the arms. In the case of LXA, it would be the Crescent and Cross.
