In heraldry a red hand or bloody hand is a depiction of a red coloured human left hand held palm toward the spectator, fingers erect, borne on an escutcheon. It is the mark of a baronet of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and also the Badge of Ulster, having being assigned by James I as a badge to the baronets who were to colonise Ulster.
