Abstract
On the one hand, badges are a well-known phenomenon, however on the other its nature is still poorly understood.

And consequently there have never been any lawsuits, that would leave us documents and letters that would help us understand its place in medieval society the way it is with the coats of arms. The following article is an attempt to gather what little we know about badges as specific English signs and present it to a Russian reader.
