"And now for something completely different."

Well, okay, not really.

Bruce Patterson of the Canadian Heraldic Authority passed along a link to a clip on YouTube, in which Terry Jones (formerly of Monty Python) talks about the purpose of heraldry and visits David White, Somerset Herald, at the College of Arms. Somerset even has a design proposal for Mr. Jones.

The clip is taken from the 2004 BBC series Terry Jones’ Medieval Lives, which is well worth watching if you have an interest in the Middle Ages.
