<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 129792, member: 112&quot;]I understand. However, this is an example of the problem I have with Wikipedia from time to time. This is what it says about that picture - </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: Red">Description of the picture</span></p><p><span style="color: Red">This picture shows coats of arms of counts of Habsburg until Rudolph the first (1218 † 1291). Then, they were used by Leo VI (1342 † 1396), king of Armenia.</span></p><p><span style="color: Red"><br /></span></p><p><span style="color: Red">It&#039;s a blazon done for Blazon Project of French-speaking Wikipédia</span></p><p><span style="color: Red"><br /></span></p><p><span style="color: Red"><br /></span></p><p><span style="color: Red">Origin of picture</span></p><p><span style="color: Red">Its description comes from : Jiri Louda, Michael Maclagan, Les Dynasties d&#039;Europe, ISBN 2-04-027013-2</span></p><p><span style="color: Red"><br /></span></p><p><span style="color: Red">Picture drawn by Odejea on October 2005, the 19th</span></p><p><span style="color: Red"><br /></span></p><p><span style="color: Red">Three-dimensional effect rendered with Blender and file Blason vide.blend</span></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>So, this picture was produced by using the clipart software provided by Wikipedia which can be found - <a href="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projet:Blasons" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projet:Blasons" rel="nofollow">HERE</a>. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now then, I might be wrong as I am far from an expert on medieval heraldry. But the link I provided is to a photograph of an actual manuscript from the time period. And I would be more inclined to trust the images from the manuscript than I would those images produced by contirbutors to Wikipedia using clipart software.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, just my opinion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
