I remember about 15 years ago Dr Ian Graham of the University of
London's Institute of Archaeology was compiling a book of all known
coat-of-arms before 1400 with the help of a computer database. Since
then, he left England for Australia. I don't know what happened to
the project nor whether he is still contactable...
