medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
According to Boutell's English Heraldry, the wyvern was, indeed, used as a heraldic
charge. You might consult John W. Papworth, An Alphabetical Dictionary of
Coats of Arms belonging to Families in Great Britain and Ireland; forming an
Extensive Ordinary of British Armorials (Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing
Co., 1965), for specific examples of heraldry containing wyverns.
Cheers,
