Coat armour. Coats of arms were introduced by Richard I., from the Holy Lond, where they were first invented.

Armour and arms
Armour and arms are understood in Law to mean things (see preceding title) which a person wears for defence, or takes in hand, or uses in anger, to strike or cast at another. Arms are also insignia, i.e., ensigns of honour, originally badges assumed by commanders in war and painted on their shields to distinguish them, since they could not be distinguished by the ancient coat of mail which covered the whole body. King Richard I., during his crusade, first made arms hereditary. Every subject in this realm has a right to carry arms for defence suitable to his condition and degree, and allowed by law, and this right is embodied in the Bill of Rights, 1 W. & M. c. 2, s. 2. The Statute of Northampton, 2 Edw. 3, c. 3, prohibits persons going armed under circumstances which may tend to terrify the people or indicate any intention of disturbing the public peace, see R. v. Meade, (1903) 19 TLR 540. The (English) Unlawful Drilling Act, 1819 (60 Geo. 3, c. 1), prohibits the training of persons wi...

Abatement
Abatement, a making less:-(1) Abatement of Freehold.-The title of a real action which has been abolished. This takes place where a person dies seised of an inheritance, and before the heir or devisee enters, a stranger, having no right, makes a wrongful entry and gets possession of it. Such an entry is technically called an abatement, and the stranger an abater. It is, in fact, a figurative expression, denoting that the rightful possession or freehold of the heir or devisee is overthrown by the unlawful intervention of a stranger. Abatement differs from intrusion, in that it is always to the prejudice of the heir or immediate devisee, whereas the latter is to the prejudice of the reversioner or remainder man: and disseisin differs from them both, for to disseise is to put forcibly or fraudulently a person seised of the freehold out of possession, Co. Litt. 277a.(2) Abatement of Nuisances.-A remedy allowed by law to a person injured by a nuisance to remove or put an end to it by his own...
