Heralds and heraldry in the Middle Ages: An inquiry into the growth of the armorial function of heralds by Anthony Richard Wagner
Despite the title, not so much a monograph as a series of articles, but they are by one of the best-known experts on English medieval heraldry
Unique text book that sheds a great deal of light onto the origins of the English people.
The most important book on the history of the College of Arms. Written by Sir Anthony Wagner, Garter King of Arms 1961-1978.
