The study of Dutch heraldry focuses on the use of coats of arms and other insignia in the country of the Netherlands. Dutch heraldry is characterised by its simple and rather sober style, and in this sense, is closer to its medieval origins than the eloborate styles which developed in other heraldic traditions.〔Cornelius Pama ''Heraldiek in Suid-Afrika''. (Balkema, Cape Town: 1956).〕 == History == The Netherlands, and more generally the Low Countries, was an area significant to heraldic development in medieval times. One of the famous armorials is the Gelre Armorial, written between 1370 and 1414. Coats of arms in the Netherlands were not controlled by an official heraldic system like the two in the United Kingdom, nor were they used solely by noble families. Any person could develop and use a coat of arms if they wished to do so, provided they did not usurp someone else's arms, and historically, this right was enshrined in Roman Dutch law.〔J.A. de Boo. ''Familiewapens, oud en nieuw. Een inleiding tot de Familieheraldiek.'' (Centraal Bureau voor Genealogie, The Hague: 1977)〕 As a result, many merchant families had coats of arms even though they were not members of the nobility. These are sometimes referred to as burgher arms, and it is thought that most arms of this type were adopted while the Netherlands was a republic (1581-1806). This heraldic tradition was also exported to the erstwhile Dutch colonies, such as South Africa, where it influenced South African heraldry.〔(Roosevelt Coats of Arms: Theodore and Franklin Delano ) at American Heraldry Society.
