As far as heraldic rules go, I don't see any reason not to use the 
kingdom populace badge on an illustrated shield.  But I'm not sure it 
would be the most authentic way to use it, or for that matter, the most 
fun-- in my observation, badges in medieval illumination are more likely 
to be worked into the design somehow (imagine it on the fighter's 
surcoat, or a cushion, or decorative hangings, or peeking out from a 
border, or serving as a crest on a helm . . .)
