I'm suddenly seized with an idea for a joint badge my husband and I have
been trying to come up with -- impaling our arms just doesn't work too well
visually... Vairy sounds like a great field treatment (and yes, I am insane
enough to draw/paint/sew all that vair).
My question is, which is more common in period -- a fess or a bend? or a
pale? Without digging out my shire's heraldry books to attempt a survey
myself, I'm guessing 'bend', but am entirely unsure.
