Notes

One of the common problems listed when you get an error is "Too Complicated." The description is "The blazon 'vert a bridge of 3 spans brunatre the middle span larger the parapets festooned with banners gules flying to the dexter over a raging river azure topped with waves argent with severed heads floating in it' will not work. Nor is it ever likely to. Keep it simple!" Well, guess what? I did it anyway.
