Nordic Heraldic Conference

Postby Chris Green » 11 Nov 2012, 08:48

On 25/26 May 2013 Societas Heraldica Nidarosiensis (The Heraldic Society of Trondheim) in association with Societas Heraldica Scandinavica (The Scandinavian Heraldry Society) will be holding a conference in Trondheim, Norway. The subject will be Ecclesiastical Heraldry. One of our members, Claus Berntsen, will be speaking on the subject of modern Swedish church heraldry.

There is a down side to this - the speakers will all be speaking in their native languages.

I (and perhaps a couple of other IAAH members) will be attending a symposium organised by the Swedish Heraldic Association (SHF) on Saturday 16 March. It is to be held at the Royal Palace and will include the following:

A lecture on Danish Chivalric Orders (Elephant and Dannebrog) by Ronny Andersen (Danish Court Heraldic Painter);

A lecture by Tom Bergroth, Superintendent of Chivalric Orders for the Swedish Court, about the Swedish Seraphim and Charles XIII Orders;

Leif Ericsson, Swedish Court Heraldic Painter will describe how the CoA for a new member of the Order of the Seraphim is created (using Prince Daniel's as an example);

Jonas Arnell (who runs his own website http://www.arnell.cc about Swedish Orders decorations and medals) will give an overview of Orders around Europe and how their CoAs are displayed;

Tom Bergroth will guide us around the newly renovated Palace rooms devoted to the chivalric Orders.

For those of us who survive this feast of heraldry and chivalry, the SHF´'s AGM is on the following day at Riddarhuset (the House of the Nobility) where all the CoAs of former and present nobles are displayed.
