The Coat of Arms originated during the late medieval period as a means of recognition on the battlefield and also to attest documents and identify property. The oldest surviving Gaelic heraldic artifact is a seal of Rotherick (Ruaidhrí) O'Kennedy, 'chief of his nation', attached to a treaty made with the Earl of Ormond in 1356.
