From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Heraldry in Wales has a tradition distinct from that of English and Scottish heraldry. There is evidence that heraldry was already being used in Wales by the middle of the 13th century; for instance, in Gwynned, two sons of Llewellyn the Great are recorded as having borne coats of arms in this period.[1] Following the integration of Wales into England in the 14th and 15th centuries, the Welsh heraldic tradition became merged into that of England.
