What we have done so far: List of publications and lectures from the “Coats of arms in practice” project

Livre des tournois du Roi René d’Anjou (Paris, BnF fr. 2693, fol. 70).

The project “Coats of arms in practice” aims to reassess medieval heraldry from the perspective of cultural history. In order to keep track of the results of the project, we publish here a list of the publications and lectures that emerged from this project so far. Of course, there is still more to come!
