Deeds of Arms

Deeds of Arms are formal agreements or records that document acts of military service, acts of bravery, or the transfer of military responsibilities or honors. Historically, they served as official proof of a person's participation in martial activities or their right to carry certain titles or privileges. These deeds were often written documents that recognized achievements, honored service, or established rights related to military or chivalric status, functioning as both records and symbols of martial distinction.
