Vasca/eraldia
Vascan heraldry originally followed the tradition of Iberian heraldry, a constituent part of the Latin heraldry family. In the late 14th century, it came under significant influence from English heraldry. Vascan heraldry then evolved, arriving in the 16th century with many specific national features, achieving a peak that was marked by the ordinances of Prinse Alesandro II, which defined strict heraldic rules and established the statutes for the officers of arms.
Heraldry declined in Vasca from the 17th to the 19th century. However, in the late 19th century and especially in the 20th century, it had a strong revival, mainly driven by the high development of the civic, corporate and military heraldry.
