Summary "The Dates of Variously-shaped Shields, with Coincident Dates and Examples" by George Grazebrook is an historical account written in the late 19th century. This work explores the evolution and classification of variously-shaped heraldic shields primarily in England, with a focus on dating them accurately through historical seals, medieval manuscripts, and other contemporary sources. The author aims to provide a structured reference for students and antiquarians interested in the history and development of heraldry. At the start of the text, Grazebrook introduces the topic by emphasizing the lack of comprehensive studies on the dating of shields throughout history. He reflects on the importance of seals as a reliable source of evidence for dating these artifacts and highlights several shapes of shields used from the 11th to the 15th centuries, explaining their materials and design features. The opening portion sets the stage for a detailed examination of shield shapes while outlining the historical context and significance of the research. Grazebrook also expresses his hope for constructive criticism that would enhance the future editions of this work. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
