Post Your Granted, Assumed or Desired Arms

I found the blaozn listed in Sir Bernard Burke's Encyclopaedia of Heraldry, or General Armoury of England, Scotland and Ireland . Since my name is English in origin, there would be no clan involved, and it wouldn't fall under Lyon's jurisdiction, would it? I'm not trying to steal someone else's arms; just clearing up some misconceptions about who can use them. Thanks for all the answers so far.



WBHenry,
You wouldn't happen to be ELCA, would you? I graduated from Lenoir-Rhyne College and sang in the A Cappella Choir when we toured in your area several years ago.

It wouldn't fall under Lyon's jurisdiction, but England also has an heraldic authority in the College of Arms and the Garter King of Arms. I'm not very familiar with the processes involved with English grants of arms, though I'm sure some of our more knowledgeable members can advise you.
