A Heraldic Fillet is not quite a diminutive of a chief - it is a barrulet (a thin bar) conjoined to the bottom of a chief.

What is feudal baron?

Feudal barons only exist in Scotland in the UK and retain a dignity preserved by the Abolition of Feudal Tenure, etc (Scotland) Act 2000. A feudal barony is the only title of nobility legally assignable and able to be legally alienated from the bloodline of its previous possessor. Historically, feudal barons were the first nobles, the King's men, who held land directly from the Crown and were granted a legal jurisdiction over their territory, the barony. Now, the dignity of a feudal baron is a personal title and carries with it no special powers beyond the title of 'baron', certain qualities and precedence, and a few heraldic privileges.


Why are Australia's national colors green and gold?

Australia's National colours are not blue and gold. Blue and gold are Australia's "heraldic colours", being the colours of the wreath in Australia's coat of arms. Further, blue and gold were selected as the colours of the ribbon of the Order of Australia in 1975. Australia's official National (and unofficial sporting) colours are Green and Gold, the colours of our national emblem, the Golden Wattle. These were established in a proclamation by Sir Ninian Stephen, the Governor-General of Australia on 19 April 1984.


What is a herald?

Heralds today have no particular role outside of ceremonial duties. However, in Medieval times they were very important. They served as diplomats, carrying messages to other countries, particularly to enemy armies in times of war, as town criers, announcing proclamations and messages throughout the towns, villages and cities, as observers in a battle, deciding who won if it was unclear, and also as a handy Heraldic Encyclopedia, identifying both living knights (whether enemy for targeting or friendly for identification) and the dead knights to get their identities by their heraldry (the insignia on their surcoats). This was a very handy skill because everyone looks the same in armour, and so their coats of arms were the only way of identifying people.
