Anglo-Norman Armory, The Constance Egan Lecture, London, 1972

Cecil R. Humphery-Smith

Published by Family History, Canterbury, 1973 (Or later, as the author's note on page 4 is signed: 'CRH-S Christmas 1976'.

ISBN: 0-9504 879-2-9

The thesis of this lecture was broadly 'that heraldic evidence supports the historical knowledge that we have about the conquest of England by the Normans and that, in its origins, there is no such thing as English heraldry', and uses 'examples from medieval English and French rolls of arms [...] to show that there was never any purely English armory'. 

Hardcover 207 pp., (15.5 cm x 21.5 cm). Book is in very good condition, including the dust jacket, which only has slight bending of the paper at the top.  Some very light and barely noticeable soiling on the back of the dust jacket. Otherwise, the book looks brand new. 

 For sale by Priory Books, Warwickshire County Record Office's secondhand bookshop
