<< Having done that, quartering may then occur. The impartible combined
coat is put in the first slot and the various heiresses (their father's
more correctly) in subsequent slots. You can omit or add quarterings
as you think fit. But you cannot alter the personal, combined coat as
you think fit, that stays the same.

Similarly the royal arms are an impartible design, one coat with
separate components. >>

Are you implying that this shield has given to him by somebody or something?

Tim Powys-Lybbe...

No. The sovereign is not given a shield by anyone. He is the Big
Cheese.

If so who or what? And no matter how, why put France in the first position

Tim Powys-Lybbe...

Why not? The sovereign can do what he (she) wants. That was the old
theory of government. And it still applies to heraldry.

And if you are trying to make out that you have a right to the French
throne, then most surely you would put some French symbols in a
prominent position.

instead of England?
