Augmentation of Arms

In the SCA, an Augmentation of Arms is an honour added to a registered device. It bestowed by a Kingdom to an individual who may then add a charge or charges to their device. This is registered with the SCA College of Arms, who treat it separately from the original device. A device with an Augmentation of Arms is usually blazoned in the style: "[Blazon of device] and as an augmentation [blazon of augmentation]".

The recipient of an Augmentation of Arms may move in the Order of Precedence, but this can vary from Kingdom to Kingdom.

Examples

• The Kingdom of Ealdormere has an Augmentation of Arms which allows the recipient to put an escutcheon bearing the Kingdom arms on their own device.
