A Cross Edged is similar to, but distinguished from, a Cross fimbriated, in the sense that, where the cross is totally enclosed by the edging, the term fimbriated is used, whereas, when the edging is interrupted by the side of the shield, the term edged is used. This term can alternatively be blazoned, e.g. arg a cross purp surmounted of another or.
Where a Cross, having the same tincture as the field, is edged and couped, the limbs are depicted without ends. This would in fact have been a voided cross had the cross been completely enclosed and is better blazoned a cross couped voided and removed.
