An Englishman from Glastonbury circa 1200 would blazon in
Anglo-Norman. You can borrow My copies of 'Early Blazon" and 'Eight
Thirteenth-Century Rolls of Arms in French and Anglo-Norman Blazon" if
you like. I can also loan you five of the Scottish Heraldry Society
Rolls of Arms reprints (modern English translations). I opened Collins
Roll (1296?) at random and found 3 field only arms in the first three
pages, plus one with only a bordure.
I will warn you that reading primary sources may disillusion you about
SCA Heraldry. For example number 610, per chevron argent and ermine,
Brianus Sandford.
