abatement


Значение термина abatement в knolik


abatement - Abatement (rebatement)
abatement - In heraldry, a mark rebating or withdrawing the honour of the arms. It is thus applied to symbols of illegitimacy, but more often to imaginary marks invented by the 16th-century heralds—e.g. in an escutcheon reversed sanguine, a blood-red shield placed upside down, assigned to a woman for dishonourable conduct, or to a man for fleeing from the banner of his prince; and the whole shield borne reversed, applied in the case of treason. The last-named is the only abatement, apart from marks of ill gitimacy, for which there is any authority. It was applied in courts of chivalry and in tournaments. See Heraldry.
