Gules, the vibrant red hue in heraldry, holds a rich history and significance. From the Royal Coat of Arms of King George V to the heraldic shields of the late 14th century at New College Chapel, Oxford, this color has graced the emblems of nobility for centuries. The Herald of Swabia, or Herold der Schwabische, would meticulously record the gules shields of the Saxon army, each one unique - a palisade, a spur, a lion rampant, or a swan argent, all painted on shields as proud testimonies of lineage and power. The heraldic pattern continues to inspire, from the motto scrolls of armies to the intricate paintings of the Middle Ages, standing the test of time as a symbol of strength and nobility.
