Coat of Arms & Family Crests StoreWhidden Coat of Arms / Whidden Family CrestThe surname of WHIDDEN was a locational name 'of Whielden Lane' in Amersham, Buckinghamshire, also a parish near Daventry in County Northamptonshire; the name was derived from the Old English WEADUN - hill with temple. The small villages of Europe, or royal and noble households, even large religious dwellings and monasteries, gave rise to many family names, which reflected the occupation or profession of the original bearer of the name. The name is also spelt WEEDON, WEDON, WEIDEN, WEADON and WHEEDON. Early records of the name mention John de Wedon of the County of Buckinghamshire in 1273. Hugo de Hweldon of the County of Leicestershire in 1279. Robert Weedon was registered at Oxford University in 1582. Originally the coat of arms identified the wearer, either in battle or in tournaments. Completely covered in body and facial armour the knight could be spotted and known by the insignia painted on his shield, and embroidered on his surcoat, the draped garment which enveloped him. Between the 11th and 15th centuries it became customary for surnames to be assumed in Europe, but were not commonplace in England or Scotland before the Norman Conquest of 1066. They are to be found in the Domesday Book of 1086. Those of gentler blood assumed surnames at this time, but it was not until the reign of Edward II (1307-1327) that second names became general practice for all people. At first the coat of arms was a practical matter which served a function on the battlefield and in tournaments. With his helmet covering his face, and armour encasing the knight from head to foot, the only means of identification for his followers, was the insignia painted on his shield and embroidered on his surcoat, the draped and flowing garment worn over the armour. The arms were registered in Counties Buckinghamshire, Dorset and Lancashire, during the reign of Henry III. It has long been a matter of doubt when the bearing of coats of arms first became hereditary and it was not until the Crusades that Heraldry came into general use. Men went into battle heavily armed and were difficult to recognise. It became the custom for them to adorn their helmets with distinctive crests, and to paint their shields with animals and the like. Coats of arms accompanied the development of surnames, becoming hereditary in the same way.
