Alliance arms of Mary of Looz-Heinsberg. Arms of women were usually depicted on lozenges. Here, her family arms are impaled with those of her husband, John IV, Count of Nassau-Siegen.
Due to the differing role of women in past society, special rules grew relating to the blazoning of arms for women. The rules for women and heraldry developed differently from place to place and there is no one single rule that applies everywhere. In general, arms of women were most likely depicted not on shields but on lozenges or ovals. Different rules exist that depend on the woman's marital status and a married woman would also often make use of her husband's arms in addition to those from her family. In both the English[1] and the Scottish[2] systems of heraldry these differences remain active.
