Royal Roots: Republican Inheritance - Susan Hood - Paperback

This is the absorbing story of the Office of Arms ? Ireland's heraldic authority ? and the oldest Office of State. Founded in 1552, and derived from an earlier medieval heraldry based on the traditions of sovereigns and members of the nobility, today the Office has a much wider relevance, providing heraldic services for Irish people and institutions throughout the world. This book is the history of its remarkable survival during the last 150 years, when it bridged the transition from Crown Government to Republican State.Hood, Susan is the author of 'Royal Roots: Republican Inheritance - Susan Hood - Paperback' with ISBN 9780953429332 and ISBN 0953429334.
