Charge: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 15:03, 3 September 2003

A charge is anything that appears on the "field" of a device.

Period examples include myriad forms of crosses, animals (leopards, lions, cattle), plants and plant parts (roses, thistles etc), celestial objects (comets, stars, suns, moons), weapons (Swords, spears etc), tools (fleams, hammers etc) or pieces of anatomy (heads, eyes, limbs, moustaches). Charges also include ordinaries.

Charges should be distinguished from line divisions and the field.
