What Would Your Coat of Arms Be?

How the quiz works

Each answer nudges one part of your crest. Your values choose the field color, using the traditional meanings from heraldry (red for courage, blue for truth and loyalty, green for hope, purple for justice, black for constancy, mulberry for patience). How you face a challenge sets the division, gold or silver sets the metal, and your other answers choose your heraldic beast (lion, wolf, eagle, dragon, stag, bear or owl) and the theme of your Latin motto. Your name goes across the top.

The meanings come from heraldic writers of the 1500s and 1600s rather than the medieval knights themselves, so treat your result as a bit of fun with real roots. More in the heraldry meanings guide.

The seven beasts

• The Lionheart (lion): Brave, warm and impossible to ignore. You lead from the front and protect your people.
• The Wolf (wolf): Loyal to your pack above everything. You are at your best with your people around you, and fierce when they need you.
• The Visionary (eagle): You see the whole picture from above and aim higher than anyone else dares.
• The Dragonheart (dragon): Fierce, rare and independent. You guard the people and things you love like treasure.
• The Peacemaker (stag): Calm, graceful and kind. You only fight when you have to, and then you do not lose.
• The Guardian (bear): Strong, steady and protective. Nobody messes with your family.
• The Sage (owl): Wise and watchful. You are the one everyone asks for advice.
