From Pathfinder Wiki
From identifying a single person, heraldry moved to speak of the relationship with another party: an armigerous family (by marriage), or a notable special position (by appointment), or two or more lordships (by inheritance). In each instance his own arms would be ‘marshalled’ with those of the other party to produce a new design for his shield. A daughter, when single, is entitled to display her father’s arms on a lozenge but on marriage they are impaled with those of her husband on a shield. This is the simplest form of marshalling, the new shield being halved vertically to place his squashed arms into the dexter half and her squashed arms into the sinister.
