'Defaced' in heraldry
[edit]You were doubtless right in the interest of clarity to change 'defaced with MMIV' to superimposed, but just for the record, 'defaced' is a valid heraldic word to describe this. It is most commonly used to describe an arms with a diagonal stripe over a better-known arms. This is used to signify that the family bearing the defaced arms is related to the original family, but by illegitimate birth. Actually, see also Cadency, which is clearly more appropriate in this context than 'defaced'. So you were still right! --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 16:12, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
