Today in class we continued our discussion about Coats or Arms. We started off talking about charges. Charges are a part of the shield, and are usually land animals, fish and birds, but there are many different objects that can be charges. Of course like everything else on a coat of arms charges all have meanings, especially animals. Such things as a tongue sticking out means that you are fierce. Also when making a blazon if the animal is facing to the right it is called "dexter" while if it is facing the left it is called "sinister".
