THE HISTORICAL COATS OF ARMS OF THE KNIGHTS OF THE TEUTONIC ORDER The practice of according particular heraldic devices or additions to the arms of members of Orders of Knighthood is an ancient one. Indeed, there are thirteenth century funereal monuments on tombs of knights of the Teutonic Order that provide early evidence of this. Although not codified until later, the badges of Orders were added to arms as a matter of custom almost as soon as arms themselves were used by knights and nobles alike, the knights of the
Teutonic Order diplayed
arms upon their shields and used heraldic devices upon other objects of battle wear, denoting their held noble rank.         The Coats of Arms of The Grand Masters of The Teutonic Order
