During his reign, King Sigismund of Luxemburg
(1387-1437) awarded the loyalty of his followers with
different types of privileges; coats of arms were
among the most popular. Up to this point no approach
from social history has been applied for this source
category. The aim of this interdisciplinary research
is to study the phenomenon of granting nobles from
Transylvania with grants of arms. On the basis of
visual and written source material and secondary
literature, the following questions are discussed:
why was this privilege so popular, who could receive
it and why, how do the coats of arms look like, and
whether it can be stated that this award could assure
good relations between royalty and nobility. The
first part of the work examines the structure of the
grant of arms, focusing on the elements of royal
propaganda and on what kind of information can be
derived from these documents. The following unit is
dedicated to the grantees, by setting up a
biographical gazetteer. The last chapter gives an
analysis and heraldic description of the studied
coats of arms, and a brief introduction in the
characteristics of the Hungarian heraldry.
