THE HERALDIC MEANING OF THE CHEVRON

	The chevron is one of the "ordinaries" or common charges (designs) used in Heraldry
	It is said to represent the gables of a house and thus protection, or else the bow of a saddle, indicating a mounted warrior.
	It was often awarded for some notable enterprise concerning the person of the monarch.
