In heraldic blazon , a chief is a charge on a coat of arms that takes the form of a band running horizontally across the top edge of the shield. Writers disagree in how much of the shield's surface is to be covered by the chief, ranging from one-fourth to one-third. The former is more likely if the chief is uncharged , that is, if it does not have other objects placed on it. If charged , the chief is typically wider to allow room for the objects drawn there.
The chief is one of the ordinaries in heraldry, along with the bend , chevron , fess , and pale . There are several other ordinaries and sub-ordinaries.
The chief may bear charges and may also be subject to variations of the partition lines. The chief may be combined with another ordinary, such as a pale or a saltire, but is almost never surmounted by another ordinary. The chief will normally be superimposed over a bordure, orle and tressure, if they share the same shield.
