<p>62.146.82.195: </p> <hr /> <div>chidelp<br /> An '''heraldic achievement''' is the complete set of [[heraldry|heraldic]] [[coat of arms|shield of arms]], [[heraldic helm|helm]], [[crest]], [[mantling]] and [[wreath]]. If a person is of sufficient rank this achievement would also include supporters, coronet, etc. In [[England]] the [[motto]] is not part of the acheivement, but in other countries (like [[Scotland]]) it would be. <br /> <br /> ==Achievements in the SCA==<br /> [[SCA]] [[heraldry]] generally has no display of [[rank]] on the [[device]] of the individual. There are some exceptions; for instance, the device of a former [[consort]] may contain a wreath of roses, or the device of a [[knight]] may contain an annulet of [[chain]]. Such displays of rank on a given individual's device are restricted by the SCA's [[College of Arms]]; a short lesson in Society-wide restricted charges can be found [http://www.sca.org/heraldry/laurel/lessons/lesson16.html here].<br /> <br /> However, symbols of rank may be shown in an ''achievement of arms'', although the specific details regarding what may be included in one's achievement may change depending on the [[Kingdom]]. Some kingdoms have sumptuary laws which restrict (for example) the use of supporters and crests to those who have attained certain ranks.<br /> <br /> [[category:heraldry]]</div>
