By sewing a number of these pelts together, with white and blue-grey alternating,... one which easily translated into the stylized armorial form of Vair and its variants».

Coat of arms of Albrecht Dürer, 1471-1528, emblazoned by me based on the woodcut titled «Coat of Arms of Albrecht Dürer» made by Albrecht Dürer himself in 1523 on a sheet measuring 35.1 × 26.1 cm belonging to The Elisha Whittelsey Collection, The Elisha Whittelsey Fund, 1952, held at the Metropolitan Museum of New York, and on the work titled «Marriage Coat of Arms of the Families Duerer and Holper. Verso of the Albrecht Dürer the Elder portrait», dated 1490; Albrecht Dürer the Elder, 1427–1502, was his father.
The Dürer family coat of arms is an example of canting arms. Their family origin traces back to Ajtós, Hungary, a name which means «door» or «doorman» in Hungarian. Upon settling in Nuremberg, the family Germanized their surname to «Türer», derived from «Tür», meaning «door», and later to Dürer. This is the reason of the main charge of these arms.

In the following image, I show a miniature from the Tumbo A of the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, from the 13th century, with the heading reading «Inclitus:Adeffonsus:Rex:Legionensium:et Gallecie:», combined with my interpretation of his coat of arms.

In [Valero de Bernabé, L.; 2009a; page 1] the author specifies the main characteristics of the «Castilian royal castle», which can be summarized as: «with three towers, the middle one taller, and the two flanking it identical», «each tower crowned with three battlements», «one to three doors and one or two pointed windows on each tower», and «masoned and battlemented», as also noted by the same author in [Valero de Bernabé, L.; 2009b; page 33].

The order of the quarters is first the castle of his grandmother, Queen Berenguela of Castile, and second the lion of his grandfather, King Alfonso IX of León; however, the other day I discovered that on the map by [Martineau du Plessis, D.; 1700; volume II, illustration 30, page 126], in the shield framed between parallels 37 and 36 and meridians 21 and 22, the lion occupies the 1st quarter and the castle the 2nd quarter; that is, their order appears reversed.

For its better identification, I have painted the millstone with the ring that fixes it to its axis. This ring is called a millrind, it is made of iron, and usually has 4 arms to better fix the millstone. Millrinds may appear on coats of arms independently of millstones. Another heraldic element related to the previous ones is the millwheel, which is a toothed gear that is part of the mill mechanism but should not be confused with the millstone that grinds the grain.

Coat of arms that I have organized based on a previous idea from the ANPC, in the following way: the mouth of the shield is rounded and is outlined at double my usual thickness; the whole is enamelled in gules, argent and or, illuminated, outlined in sable and with a watercolor finish; and to separate the letters of the motto a dot «·» is used at mid-height.
[Cadenas y Vicent, V. de; 1975; page 119 and following] dedicates its chapter 7 to «representative heraldry» and, within it, its first section to «professional heraldry», to which this coat of arms belongs according to his classification, and defines it as that which «corresponds to and reflects... all the emblems of the different professions, professional associations, societies where people with the same hobbies or pastimes are grouped». The other 3 categories that, together with «professional heraldry», make up «representative heraldry» are «industrial», «sport» and «tourism».
Personally, I follow my own heraldic classification, which follows to some extent [Cadenas y Vicent, V. de; 1975], in which the coats of arms of associations like the ANPC are classified within what I call socioeconomic heraldry.

Coat of arms based on the fourth of the Navarrese «ricoshombres» from [Bosque, J. del; 1540; folio 1 of the numbering of 1613], but, unlike the original, adjusting the height of each square to its width so that they are perfect squares, since in Juan del Bosque’s version—actually in its copy, because the original was stolen—they appear somewhat narrow and elongated. The text heading this article is taken from the transcription made by [Martinena Ruiz, J. J.; 1982; pages 122 and 123].
Under the title «Surname of Baztan» it can also be consulted in [Vega, P. J. de; 1702; folio 4 of the manuscript], although in this case the numbering is not clearly legible; it is the folio following 3, preceding the one also numbered 4 but marked with a letter B, which in turn is followed by folio 6, the number 5 being missing — though not folio 5, which would be 4B.
Baztanes and the Valley of Baztan are mentioned in [Garaycoa Raffo, L.; 2011; pages 8, 29, 30, 33, 37, and 38].

It is possible that an English-speaking herald would have blazoned it as «Or, three bars Gules.» using the term «bars» instead of «fesses», just as in Castilian one sometimes uses the term «barras» instead of «palos», perhaps because these terms were not completely settled from the outset.

From 1992 to 1998
Azure, a bendlet Argent between six fleurs de lis Or.
Illuminated with lights and shadows and with a metallic and iridescent finish.
Coat of arms of Stephen Tvrtko I (circa 1338-1391) of the House of Kotromanic and 1st King of Bosnia and it was also the coat of arms of Bosnia and Herzegovina from 1992 to 1998.
The bendlet is a diminutive of the bend. It is a diminished bend, narrower, and typically reduced to 1/2 (as in this case) or to 1/3 of the width of a normal bend. This piece is called «cotiza» in Castilian, «cotice» in French, and «cotissa» in Italian. Remember that the width of the bend is usually 1/3 of the width of the coat of arms, therefore the width of the bendlet is between 1/3 * 1/2 = 1/6 and 1/3 * 1/3 = 1/9 of the width of the coat of arm.
Stephen Tvrtko I of Bosnia, from the House of Kotromanic, was a vassal of Louis I of Hungary. Louis I or Louis of Anjou, known as «the Great», from the Royal House of Anjou-Sicily, of the Capetian Dynasty, hence his coat of arms's 2nd quarter is seeded with fleur de lis, a feature also present in his father Charles I's arms, known as Charles Robert or Caroberto of Anjou. The Kotromanic family had in their coat of arms fleur de lis Or on a Azure field as a symbol of subordination to the Hungarian royal family.

Around 1155, Beatrix de Villers married Richard le Boteler Pincerna, who became the 4th Baron of Warrington. The heir of Beatrix and Richard took the surname «le Boteler» and ruled the Warrington region, bearing arms Azure, a bend between six covered cups Or.
In Castilian, a «copa» has a lid and is referred to as a «covered cup» in English. When it doesn't have a lid, it's called a «cup» in English and a «cáliz» or «copón» in Castilian, the latter being a less preferred term for me. In English, the term «chalice» is also used, especially if it's adorned with gemstones, although that's more of an artistic license.
Naipes Heraclio Fournier is a renowned Spanish playing card manufacturer based in Villareal de Álava. The countless hours I have spent holding its cards in my hands are incalculable, whether playing with friends, opponents, or performing magic tricks.

In [Medél, R.; 1846; plate 10, illustration 4] his interpretation of the arms of Castile and León can be seen.
For the expression «a Castle triple towered» in the English blazon, I have followed [Burke, B.; 2009; pages 12, 27, 41, 51, 76, 104, 106, 109, 150, 159, 171, 189, 200, 226, 273, 281, 282, 287, 322 and others], where it is used more often with a hyphen «triple-towered» and less often without a hyphen «triple towered», which is the form I have chosen.

A Castle Or, triple towered, embattled, port and windows Azure, and masoned Sable.

Some of the characteristics of the Castilian castle are specified in the coat of arms in English, for example, «triple towered, embattled», but they are omitted in the Spanish blason, because the Spanish blason considered that the Castilian castle can not be otherwise. These local characteristics, that decades ago were not necessary to specify, could begin to have to be in this global and interconnected heraldic world. [Valero de Bernabé, L.; 2009a] describe the different characteristics between the Castilian, the French, and the English castles among others.

Banner Azure, three fleurs de lis Or.
Pendón de azur, tres flores de lis de oro.
Banner interpreted as follows: rectangular in shape with a 5x6 proportion; the field enamelled in flat Azure; the three fleurs-de-lis illuminated in Or and outlined in Sable; and the whole piece finished with an aged parchment effect.
Starting in 1376, the field sown with fleurs-de-lis was replaced by only three fleurs-de-lis. This change took place during the reign of Charles V of France (1338–1380, King of France from 1364 to 1380).
Edward III Plantagenet (1312–1377, King of England from 1327 to 1377) had incorporated the semé of fleurs-de-lis into his arms as a sign of his claim to the French throne, and Henry IV of England (1367–1413, King of England from 1399 to 1413) again changed the semé into three fleurs-de-lis in his own arms.
These three fleurs-de-lis remained in the royal arms of England until George II (1683–1760, King from 1727 to 1760).
They remained in the royal arms of the French kings until their prohibition during the so-called «Hundred Days», that is, from March 20, 1815, the date of Napoleon’s return to Paris from his exile in Elba, until June 28, 1815, the date of the Second Restoration of Louis XVIII as King of France, when they were reinstated. Finally, after the Revolution of 1830, Louis Philippe I of Orléans decreed their abolition by Order of February 10, 1831.
This banner is a recreation of the one appearing in the armorial [Edward IV of England; 1461; row 23, column 2], although in that armorial the banner seems to be associated with Louis IX of France, perhaps because of the prestige of the saintly King of France, whose arms bore a semé of fleurs-de-lis rather than three.

Coat of arms of Crepsi, military psychology, former Central Military Region, Kingdom of Spain, where I was stationed during my military service. These arms were designed by my lieutenant colonel and friend Miguel Angel Nuñez Amador, and in this image, they have been emblazoned by me. The Crepsi was a pioneer in its functions: a) the identification of soldiers at psychological risk, among tens of thousands of soldiers, using advanced information systems, including Artificial Intelligence (an area where I contributed during my service in 1989), and b) the evaluation and individualized attention of soldiers at risk through mobile units. The Crepsi has provided trained personnel and methods that are being used for the psychological care of troops deployed to conflict zones and for the psychological care of civilians in massive humanitarian disasters such as terrorist attacks or plane crashes with hundreds of affected people.
The psi letter of psychology and the arms of the Central Military Region: Party per pale: 1 Gules, a castle triple-towered Or, port and windows Azure, and masoned Sable; 2 Argent, a lion rampant Gules, crowned Or.

She is an Associate Professor and Assistant Professor at the University of Houston-Clear Lake. She studied Marine Biology at the University of Puerto Rico, Humacao (1991–1995), and the marine motifs reflect both her academic training and career. The dolphin on the shield refers to her Puerto Rican heritage, her birthplace in Fajardo, and her personal value of honor. At her request, the shield ends in a semi-circular arch, in keeping with Hispanic heraldic tradition. The three escallops symbolize her family and her compassion. She currently resides in Houston, Texas, which is why the owl in her crest holds a bluebonnet (Lupinus texensis), the state flower of Texas since 1901. The owl represents her profession and her wisdom. A small gold heart on the chain pendant indicates her cadency as first daughter.

Coat of arms of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II emblazoned by me. Saint Edward Crown, the fundamental piece used in the anointing ceremony of British monarchs, was reconstructed in 1661 after the Restoration. This crown is distinguished by its four depressed or downward-curving arches, three visible, which rise from a circular base decorated with four cross patty, three visible, alternating with four fleurs de lis, two visible. Like the Tudor, its arches, adorned with pearls, converge at the center to support an orb, a cross on a world. The crown's base is lined with ermine, and the cap or inner lining is traditionally represented in Purpure. It is the heaviest piece among the Crown Jewels and its use is reserved exclusively for the culminating moment of the coronation. The main visual difference between Saint Edward Crown and the Tudor Crown lies in their arches: Saint Edward Crown features depressed arches or downward curves, and its inner cap is typically represented in Purpure. Conversely, the Tudor Crown features ascending or semi-circular arches, and its inner cap is colored Gules.

Coat of arms of His Majesty King Charles III emblazoned by me. The Tudor Crown, or 16th-century Imperial State Crown, has been the motif chosen by King Charles III for his visual identity. This crown is distinguished by its four ascending arches, three visible, which rise from a circular base decorated with four cross patty, three visible, alternating with four fleurs de lis, two visible. The arches, adorned with pearls, join at the center to support an orb, a cross on a world. The cloth cap inside is traditionally represented in Gules. And the base is lined with ermine. The way to distinguish the Tudor Crown from Saint Edward Crown is that Saint Edward Crown has depressed arches and its cap or inner lining is traditionally represented in Purpure. Charles III's choice revives the heraldic version used by his grandfather and great-grandfather, marking a preference for a symbol of the 16th-century monarchy.

Csernely is a village in Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén county in Hungary.
The official description, not the blazon, is: «...in the blue field of a shield standing on its snout two silver-coloured church towers with onion-shaped cupolas and crosses on their peaks are rising on a green hill. Between them a silver ploughshare is floating with its point upside down...».
The official description use the word «hagymakupolás» in Hungarian. The official text is «Csernely címere: Csücsköstalpú pajzs kék mezejében zöld halmon két ezüst színu, hagymakupolás templomtorony emelkedik, ...», but the cupolas painted by them do not seem the classic «onion-shaped cupolas».

Party per fess Or and Gules dancetty of three full points and two half upwards.
Escudo cortado, encajado de tres piezas enteras y dos medias.
[Avilés, J.; 1780a; page 79], on the appropriate dimensions for outlining an indented shield, he explains that «encaxadas» or «emanchadas» refers to «the partitions of the shield, whose pieces fit into each other in the shape of thick and long triangles, which are regularly one-third of the length», that is, of the width of the shield for parted shields, «or of the height of the shield», that is, the height for fess shields, as in this example, «depending on the direction in which these figures are placed in the parted, fess, bend, and cut shields, etc. but being a Chief, they have half the base and the rest as point; and if it were a Fess, it is formed of alternating triangles, which fill it completely».
[Avilés, J.; 1780a; page 80], on which of the two components of an indented shield acts as the field and which as the piece, he clarifies that «the field of the partition is understood as the one occupying the upper part of the shield, with the lower part at the base considered the piece».
[Avilés, J.; 1780a; page 80], on how the blazon of an indented shield should be drafted, he establishes that «the number of whole and half triangles must be specified when there is more than one, and likewise, the direction in which the partitions are in the parted, fess, etc.», illustrating it with 2 examples that can also be seen in [Avilés, J.; 1725a; plate 8, illustrations 157 and 158].

Slipped and leaved
The terms slipped and leaved, which are applied here to the apples, can be found in [Avilés, J.; 1780a; page 321 and figure 138] when describing the coat of arms of the «Kingdom of Granada in Spain», which states «Argent, a pomegranate proper, showing its seeds Gules, supported, slipped, and leaved with two leaves Vert».
slipped and leaved, being in the blazon of Granada, are also in the blazon of the coat of arms of Spain and its kings. We read this in [Avilés, J.; 1780b; page 321 and figure 138] where he writes «...Quarterly with a point Argent, a pomegranate proper, showing its seeds Gules, stemmed, and leaved with two leaves Vert, which is of Granada».
Blazon keywords: Apple, Slipped and Leaved.

The heraldic art often involves resolving design challenges while maintaining both aesthetic balance and adherence to tradition. The coat of arms illustrated here draws inspiration from the Dethick-Dethicke family arms of Derbyshire, though it features distinct differences. This design explores the placement of water-bougets, a medieval water vessel, in a 2+2 arrangement, with a fess vair.
One key consideration when arranging charges in heraldry is proportionality. In this case, the fess occupies 1/3 of the coat of arms's width and is positioned 1/3 of the height from the chief, rather than at the exact center, allowing the charges to balance harmoniously. The shape of the shield itself also plays a role: rounded shields can accommodate a 2+2 arrangement more comfortably than shields with a pointed base, which are better suited to 2+1 arrangements, this is de case of Dethick's arms.
Another challenge in heraldic design is asymmetry. To address the natural curves of the shield, the water-bougets may vary slightly in size or placement. This intentional asymmetry can help create a visually appealing composition that respects both tradition and the unique constraints of each design, because, heraldry is not only about rules but also about creativity.
Gules, a fess vair between four water-bougets Or, two in chief and two in base.
Escudo de gules, una faja de veros acompañada de cuatro pares de odres de oro, dos en jefe y dos en punta.
In German, they are called «Wasserschlauch» in English «water-bougets» or «oges», and in French «bouses» or «chantepleures».
There is no specific heraldic term for them in Castilian. Based on «chantepleures», one could use «cantimploras», which are metallic or at least rigid. On the other hand, «oges» could translate as «odres», as they are typically made of leather as in this case. Additionally, since «water-bouget» are designed as a pair to be carried by a donkey or other animal, I have decided to use «par de odres» to convey the idea of one on each side of the animal.
In English, when there is a single charge, that is, a pair of water vessels, it is written in singular as «water-bouget», as can be seen in [Fox-Davies, A. C.; 1909; figure 551]. [Friar, S.; 1987; page 68] defines «bouget» as «...a stylized representation of a yoke supporting two leather waterbags».

There are several methods to draw a pointed coat of arms, for example, the method of [The Heraldry Society; 2013; page 7]. There are also several pointed coat of arms with the ratio 5/6 between its width b and its height h.
The previous illustation shows my method to draw a 5/6 pointed coat of arms. The center Cd of the dexter arc is 17h/36 = 17b/30 from the top of the shield and its radious is 13h/24 = 13b/20, or what is the same, its diameter is 13h/12 = 13b/10.
The position of the Cs of the sinister arc and its construction is symmetric to the dexter arc with respect to the vertical axis, as shown in the following illustration.

The falcon use to be belled and jessed, with bells and leather strips on the legs. The attributes used to be citted in the blazon when its tincture is different that the main element to which it belongs. In this case, its leather strips are Or, the same tincture than the falcon Or, but I decided to blazoned it «a falcon displayed and jessed Or» to denote jessed but not belled.
Other falcons are also hooded.

The one with the Cross on his back ~ Crouchback (1245–1296)
Arms of England; overall, a label Azure of three points, each charged with three fleurs-de-lis Or in pale.
Arms interpreted as follows: the mouth of the shield is semicircular (round); the field enamelled in a flat tint of Gules; the label and figures illuminated in Or and Azure and outlined in Sable; and the whole finished with a watercolour effect.
He was the second son of King Henry III of England, and took part in the Ninth Crusade, hence the epithet «Cross on the back».
In 1253 he was appointed Earl of Chester, holding dominion, among others, over the county of Cheshire, but the following year Pope Innocent IV granted him the crown of Sicily, so he ceded his earldom to his elder brother Edward I of England, however, he never came to occupy the throne of Sicily.
The label is an honourable ordinary and also «a kind of mark of cadency, and the most noble of all those used to differentiate the Arms of the younger sons of a House» [Avilés, J.; 1725a; page 248] and it can likewise be used by the eldest son while his father's arms are still in use, ceasing to bear the label when he inherits his father’s coat. When both the eldest and the second son bear a label, the latter’s label then has more points or is charged with figures to distinguish it.
The label is constructed with «a fillet, which is one-ninth of the width of the chief, with three pendants in the form of carpentry wedges or ill-shaped triangles, joined to it without any line of separation, falling twice as far as the fillet is wide, two placed at the ends and one in the middle, its usual position being in the centre of the chief’s length, without reaching the edges of the shield» [Avilés, J.; 1725a; page 248].

Pendón cuartelado de dieciseis: 1o, 6o, 11o y 16o de azur, tres flores de lis de oro; 2o, 5o, 12o y 15o de gules, tres leopardos en palo de oro, armados y lampasados de azur; 3o, 8o, 9o y 14o de gules, un castillo de oro, aclarado de azur, mazonado de sable; 4o, 7o, 10o y 13o de plata, un león rampante de púrpura, armado y lampasado de gules, coronado de oro.
Banner interpreted by me as follows: its shape preserves the 5x6 proportions of a shield; the field is enamelled with flat tinctures Gules and Azure; the castles, fleurs-de-lis, and leopards are outlined in Sable; but the lions are outlined in their field; and the finish of the banner is watercoloured.
I have interpreted it from a simplification of the banner appearing in [Edward IV of England; 1461; row 27, 1st column, final banner], which reflects Edward IV’s aspirations to the throne of Castile and León. In that armorial, this banner is held by a «White Lion of March», which was the personal badge of Edward IV.

Nogueira Gonçalves, or «Armaria Portuguesa» that describes it in Portuguese «De azul, cinco flores de lis de oiro.

In this version, the text of the cry «:Notra:Dama:Dallpoy:» is based on a d’Alpoim's armorial stone and represents a Portuguese evolution of the original French cry «Notre Dame du Puy», which is the name of the Cathedral of Le Puy-en-Velay, France.

Round seal, a lion sejant. Circular motto: «Signum Fernandi Regis Hispanorum».
Sello rodado, un león sentado. Divisa circular: «Signum Fernandi Regis Hispanorum».
Existing seal interpreted by me as follows: the shape of the seal is circular; the motto is written in sable on its outer ring; inside, a seated lion that begins to be rampant and will eventually become so; y the whole rendered in flat sable ink; y the result is an impression in azure ink.
For the outline of the lion I have followed the round seal of the king in his «Charter of Benavente» [Fernando II de León; 1167], in which I consider the lion to be seated; although it could also be interpreted as rampant, or as intending to be so, as it will ultimately appear in the arms of his son, King Alfonso IX of León.
For the delineation of the motto I have followed the round seal of the king in his «Charter of the Alfoz of Benavente» [Fernando II de León; 1181], in which the lion, unlike the previous one, is clearly in a passant posture.
In [Martín Fuertes, J. A.; 2002] four other round seals of King Fernando II of León can be consulted:
In attitudes of the lion of Ferdinand II the attitudes discussed in this article are illustrated.

A symbolic image representing, through 3 coats of arms, the creation of the coat of arms of the King Ferdinand III the Saint from the arms of Alfonso IX, King of León, and Berenguela, Queen of Castile. The shapes of all three shields are rounded; all their components are illuminated; and the whole composition features a watercolor finish.
Ferdinand III the Saint was the son of Alfonso IX of León and Berenguela of Castile. During his reign, the crowns of Castile and León were united forever. When, in 1230, Ferdinand III succeeded his father, he adopted a quarterly coat of arms, placing his mother's arms, the castle, in the 1st and 4th quarters, and his father's arms, the lion, in the 2nd and 3rd quarters. His goal was likely to achieve balance between the two kingdoms and to give his coat of arms a greater sense of continuity over time compared to impaled arms. The coat of arms of Ferdinand III the Saint was the first quarterly shield in history, and the idea spread into the heraldry of Spain and other kingdoms, such as Aragon-Sicily, Brabant, England, Navarre, and Bohemia.

Outlines and proportions of a flanched design at one-fifth.
Regarding the flanched design, [Avilés, J.; 1725a; page 92] writes: «it is said of a figure that divides the Shield from the side of the flanks, sometimes by means of half-ovals», such as those in the diagram that illustrates this article, «and other times by means of half-lozenges, which run from the angle of the Chief to the angle of the base on the same side, whence they take their beginning».
In [Avilés, J.; 1725a; figure 197] an example of a flanched shield is illustrated with the arms of Oschoven on the Rhine, where the space left between both flanches is 1/5 of the base of the shield and, therefore, the width of each flank is 2/5 of the base of the shield, being 2/5 + 1/5 + 2/5 equal to the full base.

Imaginary blazon of Sir Gawain, knight of the Round Table.
Gules, a mullet voided, interlaced Or.
Illuminated and a freehand finishing.
This five-pointed mullet, depicted as a pentangle, is the symbol Sir Gawain bears on his coat of arms according to the poem «Sir Gawain and the Green Knight» which reads: «Thenne they shewed hym the schelde, that was of schyre goules Wyth the pentangel depaynt of pure golde hwes. He braydez hit by the bauderyk, aboute his hals kestes, That bisemed the segge semlyly fayre. And quy the pentangel apendez to that prynce noble I am entent yow to telle, thof tary hyt me schulde: Hit is a syngne that Salamon set sumquyle In bytoknyng of trawthe, bi tytle that hit habbez, For hit is a figure that haldez fyve poyntez, And vche lyne vmbelappez and loukez in other, And ayquere hit is endelez; and Englych hit callen Oueral, as I here, the endeles knot».
However, in [Anonymous; 1490a; folio 54 verso], which is a French armorial of imaginary heraldry about the «chevaliers de la Table ronde», Sir Gawain, identified in this text as «Messire Gauvain», is depicted with a «shield argent, a double-headed eagle or, beaked, membered and armed azure», unlike the English tradition, which as we have seen, represents him with the pentacle described in the poem «Sir Gawain and the Green Knight».

Azure, six lions rampant Or, 3, 2 and 1.
Escudo de azur, seis leones rampantes de oro, 3, 2 y 1.
Existing armories interpreted by me as follows: the shape of the shield is pointed; the field has been enameled in flat azure; the 6 lions are illuminated and cast shadows on the field; and the entire composition has a hammered metal finish.
The shield of Geoffrey V, Count of Anjou is considered the first documented coat of arms in history, dated to 1127, when Henry I of England gifted it to him on the occasion of his marriage to his daughter Matilda of England [The Heraldry Society; 2013].
There is no direct evidence that Henry I possessed a coat of arms, nor that it featured a rampant lion [Humphery-Smith, C.; 1983], but the gift of a shield with 6 lions to his future son-in-law could be an indication of such.
Geoffrey is buried in the Cathedral of Saint Julian in Le Mans, and his tomb is decorated with an enamel depicting him with his shield, where of his 6 lions: 4 are fully visible, and 2 are suggested by their claws.
However, it is possible that both the wedding gift narrative and the enamel on the tomb are from years after his death in 1151, so [Pastoureau, M.; Garvie, F.; 1997; page 18] asserts that «this account was written after Geoffrey's death... and his funerary enamel commissioned by his widow Matilda between 1155 and 1160... therefore it is possible that Geoffrey Plantagenet never had a coat of arms».

Coat of arms interpreted with: the semicircular base shape; the field of plain metal Argent; the fusils illuminated in Gules, outlined in Sable; the fusilly of proportion 3 x 5; and the whole with a raised-stroke effect.
Unlike how I have blazoned it here, this coat of arms can be found blazoned in [Arco y García, F. del; 1996b; page 10] as «Fusilly Argent and Gules».
He was the Genoese leader of the Guelphs who conquered the so-called Rock of Monaco on January 8, 1297, at night. To enter his fortress and have the gates opened for him, he dressed as a Franciscan monk along with his cousin Rainier I, Lord of Cagnes, and thus entered with his group of armed men. That is why the coat of arms of the Principality of Monaco has as supporters 2 Franciscan monks unsheathing their swords.
Francesco Grimaldi had no children, so after his death in 1309, he was succeeded by his cousin Rainier I, with whom he entered Monaco, and it is from Rainier I that the Grimaldi family and the Princes of Monaco who have governed the Principality ever since descend.

Interpretation based on the second coat of arms of the «ricoshombres» of Navarre from [Bosque, J. del; 1540; folio 1 of the numbering of 1613] and the accompanying text is from the transcription made in [Martinena Ruiz, J. J.; 1982; pages 122 and 123].
The «panela» is a figure typical of Spanish heraldry [Valero de Bernabé, L.; 2007; page 11]. It is a leaf shaped like a heart with its stalk pointing upward. It could be a leaf of a tree such as, for example, the poplar, although there is no certainty that it is specifically that tree.
With first appearances prior to heraldry on Hispano-Roman tombstones, the «panela» is of Alavese origin, [Menéndez Pidal de Navascués, F.; 1985; page 474], spreading through the Basque-Navarrese region and from there throughout Spain, with the peculiar name «panela», which was initially called «pannella», [Valverde Ogallar, P. B.; 2001; page 532] derived from «pan», [Real Academia Española; 2001].
In the heraldry of other countries, leaves from different trees are used as heraldic symbols, but usually with the stalk pointing downward; therefore I transcribe in this blazon «panelas» ~ «Poplar-leaves, inverted».
[Menéndez Pidal de Navascués, F.; 1985; page 474] states that the «panela» is a natural figure equivalent to the linden leaf in German heraldry, with the stalk downward, and to the water-lily leaf in French heraldry, with the stalk upward; but since these are such different plants, I do not find it suitable to use linden, and even less water-lily, in the English transcription of this Navarrese blazon.
Under the title «Surname of Guebara» it can be consulted in [Vega, P. J. de; 1702; folio 2 of the manuscript].

Escudo de sable, dos leones rampantes, afrontados de oro.
Imaginary coat of arms interpreted as follows: the mouth is a semicircular arch; the field enameled in flat Sable color; its 2 figures are outlined with the field tincture and illuminated in Or metal; and the set has a pearly finish.
Coat of arms interpreted from the imaginary blazon described in «Sir David Lindsay's Armorial», from the year 1542, where its blazon code «DL011» corresponds to Hector of Troy and which describes it as follows: «Sable, two lions combatant Or». Note the difference from the one described by [Avilés, J.; 1725a; page 7] which states that its field is Gules, «of red».
Says [Parsons, R. J.; 1989; paragraph 30], in one of the most beautiful descriptions of the lion that I have read, that the heraldic lion, as is the case with many other beasts, is very different from the lion in Nature. The lion in heraldry is the abstract expression of attributes such as nobility, strength, power, ferocity, courage, and vital energy. For example:
Given this description of the heraldic lion, gifted to us by Robert John Parsons, every heraldic artist with critical capacity cannot help but ask themselves whether their lions are capable of expressing this range of attributes.

Escudo de gules, un león rampante de oro.
Existing arms interpreted by me as follows: the shield's shape is pointed; the field has been enamelled in flat Gules; the lion in Or has been outlined in Sable; and the whole composition has a rough texture finish.
It is believed that Henry I was the first King of England to have a coat of arms, featuring a single lion rampant, but no documentary evidence has yet been found [Rabbow, A.; 1999; paragraph 8].
[Ailes, A.; 1982; page 62] argues that Henry II may have used three different versions of his arms featuring a) a single lion rampant, b) two leopards, and c) three leopards. However, it remains unclear whether these versions were used sequentially over time or concurrently. For this interpretation, I have chosen the version with the lion rampant.

Coat of arms of the Infante Henry of Castile, 1230–1303, 6th offspring of the King Ferdinand III of Castile, 1199-1252, and the Queen Beatrice of Swabia, 1205–1235. He bore his father's arms, replacing the lion Purpure of the Kingdom of León with a cross flory Purpure, likely due to his close association with the Order of Calatrava, whose emblem is a cross flory Gules. However, he retained the metal Argent field in the 2nd and 3rd quarters and the lion's purpure color, suggesting this was more of a conceptual change than a quartering by alliance with the Order of Calatrava.

Imaginary coat of arms that I have interpreted as follows: its base is semicircular (round); its field is illuminated in watercolor Azure; the rest in heavily beaten metal, outlined of the field and illuminated in Argent, except for the annulet which is illuminated in Or; and its letters all in plain Gules ink.
The circular crown when it is large and in the middle of the shield [Cadenas y Vicent, V. de; 1975] is called an annulet. [Avilés, J.; 1780a; pages 296 and 297] calls it annulet or small annulet depending on its size, if it is large an annulet and if it is small a small annulet. In English and French heraldry it is called «cyclamor» and hence the expression «cyclamor annulet» can also be found.
This annulet is my aesthetic contribution to this imaginary coat of arms as it is normally not represented with this annulet.
In other interpretations the words «non est» go on a bordure or on an orle, the latter being the case blazoned, for example, [Husenbeth, F. C.; 1882; 2nd appendix] in the following way: «Gules, an orle and pall Argent, conjoined and surmounted of four plates, occupying the dexter and sinister chief and the base and fess points respectively; the first inscribed Pater, the second Filius, and the third Spiritus Sanctus, the centre Deus; the connecting portions of the orle between them having the words non est, and those of the pall est».

The Hradec Králové Region is an administrative unit of the Czech Republic. It is located in the historical region of Bohemia. Its capital is Hradec Králové, whose Latin name is «Gradicium», hence its old name «Gradec». The letter «G» seen in both the coat of arms of the Hradec Králové Region and the coat of arms of its capital originates from this historical name. The lion rampant Anrgent, double queued and crowned in the 1st and 4th quarters is the symbol of Bohemia, and it also appears in the 1st and 4th quarters of the coat of arms of the Czech Republic. «Králové» means «of the queen» in Czech and there is a trefoiled crown in the 3rd quarter

When blazoning the 2nd badger, it must be taken into account that its head is regardant, which is what «is said of animals, or their heads, turned toward the sinister side of the shield» [Avilés, J.; 1725a; page 55] and [Avilés, J.; 1780a; page 61].

In Castile, a coat of arms quarterly does not necessarily signify inheritance. This schema illustrates two practices: a) Quarterings can represent the mother in the 1st and 4th quarters and the father in the 2nd and 3rd, highlighting the prominence given to the maternal line by placing it in the most visible quarters. b) Quarterings can also include personal symbols and concepts, like canting arms, for example, «Manuel» =«mano» + «ala» = «hand» + «wing», combined with ancestral arms. This flexibility reflects Castilian heraldic traditions, where arms are not strictly marshalled by inheritance. The inclusion of maternal arms in the 1st and 4th quarters highlights how Castilian heraldry often elevates maternal heritage, differing from some other heraldic traditions. The previous commentary emphasizes the creative freedom in Castile, where quartering could incorporate personal symbols or canting arms without the constraints of inheritance or dominium. This flexibility aligns with Castilian culture, allowing heraldry to reflect personal identity, not just dynastic ties. Notably, the arms of Infante Enrique's use of a cross flory demonstrates this creative freedom, showcasing the ability to innovate within heraldry even in royal contexts. While this might seem unconventional compared to other heraldic systems, it is deeply rooted in Castilian tradition. All coats of arms in this schema have been emblazoned by me.

Bendy of six Azure and Argent.
Escudo bandado de seis piezas de azur y plata.
Papal coat of arms interpreted by me with: a semicircular shield shape; a plain Argent field; bands illuminated in Azure and outlined in Sable; and the whole design with a watercolor finish.
In the bendy pattern, the tinctures are named starting from the one located at the dexter base of the shield and following an ascending sequence towards the sinister chief, although the most orthodox approach is to have only 2 tinctures, being one color and one metal.
It is said that it is not necessary to specify the number of bands when there are precisely 6, as in this case, and that it should be specified when there are, for example, 4 or 8. I have chosen to specify it for greater clarity of the blazon.
About the bendy pattern and the need to specify or not specify the number of its pieces, [Avilés, J.; 1725a; pages 40 and 41] and [Avilés, J.; 1780a; pages 45 and 46] say that it is «composed of four, six, or eight bends; in such a way that there are as many colors as metals, always specifying the number four and eight bands when blazoning, and not the one composed of six, as it is understood thus, without declaring the number of pieces» and without agreeing with it, and by its wording I believe that he is not entirely in agreement either, he adds «the reason that may exist for not specifying the number of six bends (although the authors do not express it) is that as the bend is one-third of the shield; and having six pieces, or six bends, the resulting number is doubled, as if the three parts were divided, which implies that the shield is filled with three bends; and taking the denomination of the figure infers, that the bendy is of six pieces: which does not happen with this equality in those of four and eight, requiring other proportions and consequently it becomes necessary to specify their number», therefore, note that the bendy of 6 does not follow the proportions of the bend, nor do those of 4 or 8, the only differential property of the one of 6 is being a multiple of 3, being 1/3 the width of the bend.

Azure semé of mullets of seven points voided, interlaced, and conjoined Argent; a bordure Argent.
Escudo de azur sembrado de estrellas de siete puntas, huecas y entrelazadas de plata, unidas por las puntas; una filiera de plata.
Coat of arms interpreted by me, highlighted with lights and shadows, outlined in Sable, with an oval outer contour and with a watercolor finishing.
This coat of arms is inspired by the concept of the «lattice formed by the stars» described in the Books of Chilam Balam, pre-Columbian texts of the Yucatec Maya tradition that combine history, cosmology, religion, and astronomy. In this symbolic framework, the ordered network of mullets represents a sacred and intelligible universe, a cosmic structure through which the divine contemplates the world with wisdom. The semé and interlaced arrangement of the mullets visually translates this idea of a stellar lattice into heraldic form.

King of Aragon, Valencia and Majorca, Count of Barcelona, Count of Urgell, Lord of Montpellier and known as the Conqueror
Or, four pallets Gules.
Escudo de oro, cuatro palos de gules.
Coat of arms interpreted by me as follows: the escutcheon shape is semicircular; the field is rendered in flat Or with a watercolored effect; and the pallets are illuminated and finished with a crystalline texture.
A semicircular-shaped shield of Aragon can be seen, for instance, in [Argote de Molina, G.; 1588; chapter XLII].
This shield, but with a pointed base, appears in the second part of the armorial [Wijnbergen; 1265; shield no. 1,293], under the title «Le roy Darragon». This second part was compiled between 1270 and 1285 and, since James I was king of Aragon from 1213 to 1276, it could refer to him; although it might also refer to his son Peter III, the Great, who succeeded James I in 1276.
This coat of arms is also the arms of Aix-en-Provence, granted to that French city, according to tradition, by Alfonso II of Aragon [Aix-en-Provence; 1351], grandfather of James I, the Conqueror.

Or, a fess chequey Argent, charged with an ermine spot, and Azure, between in chief two cross patty Gules, in base a thistle proper; a diminished bordure Azure.
The coat of arms of Reverend John Stuart, XVIII century, emblazoned by me in 3 approaches: 1) Classic bordure: Using a bordure with a width equal to 1/6 of the coat of arms' base. In the image, this is marked with texts and lines in Vert. Notice that the squares in columns 2 and 8 are split by the inner border of the bordure, which is unfortunate as it disrupts the design. 2) Diminished bordure: Using a narrower bordure with a width equal to 2/3 of the classic bordure, corresponding to 1 square of the fess chequey. In the image, this is marked with texts and lines in Gules. This approach avoids splitting any squares, allows for larger figures, and is my preferred solution. In England, diminished bordures, often simply blazoned as bordure, are more common than in Castile. 3) Without squares splitted: Retaining the classic bordure but shifting the fess chequey 1/2 square to either dexter or sinister to prevent splitting squares. However, this sacrifices the symmetry of the design. This last adjustment was used in the hatchment of Reverend John Stuart in St. George's Cathedral, Kingston, Ontario, 1785.

187th Pope of the Church, from 1276 to 1277. «Johannes XXI», born Pedro Julião, also known as Pedro Hispano, born in Lisbon, Portugal.
Quarterly: 1 and 4 Argent, three crescents Gules; 2 and 3 Sable, two pallets Or.
Escudo cuartelado: 1o y 4o de plata, tres crecientes de gules; 2o y 3o de sable, dos palos de oro.
Coat of arms with: a shield with a pointed and rounded top; the field in plain Argent and Sable; the figures outlined in Sable and illuminated in Gules and Or; and the whole in an elevated line style.
John XXI should have actually been John XX, but Cardinal Pedro Julião, upon being elected pope, decided to skip the number XX and called himself John XXI, with the aim of correcting what was believed to be a historical error, which in the end was not so.
This historical error consisted of the belief in the existence of 2 popes named John XIV, as seemed to be deduced from the records of the «Liber Pontificalis». They were therefore referred to as: the 1st John XIV and the 2nd John XIV bis.
By skipping the number XX, John XXI believed he was correcting this historical error. But the reality is that there was only one Pope John XIV, the same pope with 2 entries in the «Liber Pontificalis», the 1st entry during the time of his pontificate in freedom and the 2nd entry for the time he exercised his pontificate in prison, imprisoned by his enemy, the so-called «antipope» Boniface VII, who, in turn, managed to occupy the papal throne twice, separated by a decade, in 974 and in 984, somewhat like a double «antipope».
Therefore, John XXI, instead of correcting a historical error, made one, and for this reason, there is no Pope John XX in all of history, nor can there ever be one.

Coat of arms of Juan Bautista Lanzagorta Escutia designed by Juan Lanzagorta Vallín and outlined by me. In English, «urinant» is the attitude of a dolphin or fish with its head down, diving. The term comes from the Latin «urinor», which means to dive, to swim underwater, or to submerge. There is no true equivalent in Spanish; a possible candidate would be «sumergido». It recalls the sad story of a shipwreck.

Coat of arms devised by me, highlighted with lights and shadows, contoured in Sable, with a semi-circular external shape and with a leather finishing.
The arms of Kevin Larkin from Ireland and Spain, designed and emblazoned by me. In heraldry, the rule of tinctures states «no color on color, no metal on metal». This means a castle metal Argent cannot bear a castel metal Or as a charge. However, in this design, the castle is divided party per pale, vertically, into Argent and Or. This division allows both metals to coexist, as each metal occupies one side of the charge without violating the tincture rule. Similarly, in a party field, both quarters can be of the same type, either color or metal, making this design heraldically correct.

Escudo de gules, tres coronas en palo de oro.
Imaginary coat of arms interpreted as follows: the mouth of the shield is pointed and rounded; the field has been enameled with flat color Gules; the crowns are illuminated Or and shaded; and the finish is crystalline.

This is the coat of arms of Her Royal Highness Doña Leonor Princess of Asturias, Princess of Girona, and Princess of Viana, heiress of the throne of Spain as the elder daughter of King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia. This version of her coat of arms has been emblazoned by me. The coat of arms of the Princess of Asturias is the same as her father's, the King, but with a mark of cadency which, in heraldic terms, is also know as brisure. In this case, the cadency mark is a label Azure with three points, which will be removed in due course. The label of three points is the main and most classic of the brisures, usually assigned to the eldest heir. It is said to originate from a piece of cloth the son would tie at the top of his shield to distinguish it from his father's. Other common brisures include the crescent, the mullet of five point, the marlet, the annulet, or the fleur de lis. In addition to these simple brisures, there are also combined brisures, which are brisures charged with another or others. For example, a crescent charged with a fleur de lis. Labels may also have their points charged with other marks. Many cadency systems become more complicated as generations progress and branches open up, so they tend to be rarely used except in very clear cases like this one.

Of the twelve lineages of Noblemen, the sixth is that of Lete, from which descended Don Juan Corbarán de Let: they bear as arms, on a field Or, three pots shaped like cauldrons, slightly elongated, as painted in this shield.
Or, three Fleshpot Sable.
Escudo de oro, tres potes de sable.
Coat of arms interpreted with: a semicircular (round) base; the field in flat Or metal; the three pots illuminated in Sable with vertical, but not horizontal symmetry; and finished in highly-hammered metal.

Coat of arms based on the sixth of the Navarrese «ricoshombres» from [Bosque, J. del; 1540; folio 1 of the numbering of 1613]. The text heading this article is taken from the transcription made by [Martinena Ruiz, J. J.; 1982; pages 122 and 123].
Although I have not found any reference about it, it could be considered that originally they might have been canting arms and that these three «potes» could have been milk pots, in reference to their bearers «Lete».
Under the title «Surname of Let» it can also be consulted in [Vega, P. J. de; 1702; folio 6 of the manuscript], although the number has been altered, possibly having been a 5 and perhaps interpreted as an 8, it is deduced by being placed after folio 7.

Guilaberto Lloscós y Soldevilla was grand prior of the Order of Saint John from 1449 to 1460.
Argent, a bull salient Gules within a bordure gyronny Argent and Sable.
Escudo de plata, un toro saltande de gules; bordura jironada de plata y sable.
Illuminated and parchment finishing.
He also known as Guilaberto Loscós y Soldevilla, and his coat of arms can be consulted at [García Carraffa, A.; García Carraffa, A.; 1968; volume II, page 407], who does not depict this bull with its tongue out.
The Lloscós lineage resided on the island of Mallorca and succeeded in the position of royal procurator of the island. Lázaro Lloscós was the procurator of the island in 1332, his son Mateo Lloscós was in 1392 and his grandson Mateo Lloscós was too. Mateo Lloscós helped King Alonso V of Aragon, the Magnanimous, with the expenses of the Naples campaign in 1435 and, therefore, the king donated the town of Bañalbufar and the title of baron. Mateo Lloscós was the father of Guilaberto Lloscós y Soldevilla grand prior of the Order of Saint John.
This bordure presents a dual characteristic. It could be considered a bordure compony because it is composed of a series of segments, in this case, eight. However, since the sides of these segments are not perpendicular to the bordure, but are angled in such a way that all their extended lines would converge at the exact center of the coat of arms, it structurally resembles the division known as gyronny. It is for this reason that, despite its compony appearance, I specifically designate it as a bordure gyronny.
This is a reflection on the tongue out in animals in heraldry. I will rely on the representations found in [Fox-Davies, A. C.; 1909], as it contains numerous representations of animals in the most diverse heraldic attitudes.
In heraldry, tigers [Fox-Davies, A. C.; 1909; figures 322-325], lions, wolves, the bear, etc., are usually represented with the tongue out; they are heraldic beasts and they are carnivores.
However, the fox in [Fox-Davies, A. C.; 1909; figures 343-345] is not painted with the tongue out. It is classified as a heraldic beast and, moreover, it is carnivorous.
The boar is omnivorous, it is a heraldic beast and it is painted with the tongue out, as is done in [Fox-Davies, A. C.; 1909; figures 353-358].
From the above, there is no uniform association between the tongue out and being a heraldic beast or a carnivore.
On the other hand, [Fox-Davies, A. C.; 1909; figures 446-449] classifies eagles as birds, not as beasts; they are carnivorous and are represented with the tongue out. And the dolphin is a fish, it is carnivorous and is also represented with the tongue out [Fox-Davies, A. C.; 1909; figures 479-480].
There are heraldists who say that herbivores are not painted with the tongue out.
But donkeys, mules, and especially the horse are herbivores and they can be seen represented with the tongue out. For example, [Fox-Davies, A. C.; 1909; figures 360 and 362] paints the horse with the tongue out, and in figure 361, with the horse running, he does not paint the tongue out. In no case does he classify it as a heraldic beast.
[Fox-Davies, A. C.; 1909; figures 368 and 370] paints the talbot, the mythical dog of heraldry, with the tongue out rampant and passant; but in more restful attitudes, such as standing and seated, he does not paint it with the tongue out. This could indicate that, when it is calm, it does not put the tongue out. But in the previous paragraph we have seen that he does not paint the horse running with the tongue out, and a horse running is not calm.
The bull [Fox-Davies, A. C.; 1909; figures 375-376] is not painted with the tongue out. However, I paint the bull with the tongue out and, although herbivorous, I claim the fighting bull as one of the most beastly figures of heraldry.
The stag does not carry the tongue out in any of its attitudes in [Fox-Davies, A. C.; 1909; figures 379-386], and other cervids [Fox-Davies, A. C.; 1909; figures 387-390] do not either.
Rams, sheep, lambs, goats [Fox-Davies, A. C.; 1909; figures 395-403] also do not carry the tongue out.
The badger is carnivorous [Fox-Davies, A. C.; 1909; figure 409]; as with the fox, it is carnivorous and does not carry the tongue out.
Therefore, in general, the tongue out cannot be fully associated either with heraldic beasts or with carnivores, just as not carrying the tongue out cannot be associated with herbivores or with calm attitudes. For example, the lion always carries the tongue out, even in its calmest attitudes [Fox-Davies, A. C.; 1909; figures 304-309].
The conclusion is that it is left to the discretion of the heraldic artist to paint or not to paint the tongue out, depending on what he wishes to express. For example, greater aggressiveness, greater movement, or liveliness could be associated with the tongue out.

Coat of arms of María Lobo, Lady of the House of Alvito. This coat of arms has been emblazoned by me. The arms are traditionally associated with the Lobo family of Alvito and are documented in Castilian and Portuguese heraldic and genealogical sources. These arms were equally used by other members of the House of Alvito, such as Ruy Dias Lobo and his descendants. I have emblazoned this coat of arms at the request of Fernando Durán Cabral de Mello d’Alpoim, as he counts the Lobo lineage of Alvito among his ancestors. It is not necessary to say the arrangement of the wolves which is in saltire, that is, 2, 1 and 2, since it is the default arrangement in heraldry for 5 equal charges.

Arms painted by me, illuminated with lights and shadows, outlined in Sable, with a rounded trapezoidal outer contour and with a metal and iridescent finishing.
Coat of arms of Barbaro Jonathan Lopez Linares, Cuba, designed by him and emblazoned by me. In English heraldry the term caboshed applies to the head of any animal shown affronty, but it always refers only to the head, with no part of the neck visible; for example, one may blazon «a bull’s head caboshed» or «a wolf’s head caboshed», whereas if the neck is shown the proper term is «a bull’s head couped affronty»; in other words, a head caboshed does not show any of the neck, it is just the animal’s face; this usage of caboshed is valid both for horned animals such as the stag, the goat, or the bull, and also for hornless animals such as the wolf; in Castilian heraldry, however, [Cadenas y Vicent, V. de; 2002] defines «reencuentro» specifically for the frontal head of the bull, and by extension for other horned animals such as the stag or the goat; thus, for a wolf, one should properly blazon simply «una cabeza de lobo de frente» ~ «a wolf’s head affronty»; finally, the [Real Academia Española; 2014] standardizes the spelling «reencuentro» with double «e», although it also accepts the shorter variant «rencuentro», which is the one I personally prefer to use. In heraldry, when a monstrance is blazoned proper, it is understood that the entire structure of the object is of the metal Or, with its characteristic details such as rays, sunburst, or base also in gold, and that inside it the Host is visible in Argent; therefore, a «monstrance proper» must always appear in gold with the silver Host at its center.

There are 2 rhombuses in heraldry: the lozenge and the fusil. I like to represent the lozenge, which is a less elongated rhombus than the fusil, as a square with its 2 diagonals placed one vertically and the other horizontally. Lozengy and fusilly consist of filling the entire space with lozenges, in the first case, or with fusils, in the second case, joined 4 by 4 at their corners.
[Avilés, J.; 1780a; page 25] writes «Fusils, Lozenges, and Mascles can be accolados, when they touch with their flanks; and to be so called, the entire Shield must not be filled with these figures, because in that case it would be called Fusilly, or Fuselado and Lozengy.».
In this case, two lozengy schemata of lozenges are presented with their 4 angles at 90o, the first 5 wide by 6 high, which is exact because the angles are 90o and it matches the 5x6 dimensions of the coat of arms and the second 6 wide by 7 high, which may be more suitable for shields that resemble the structure of per pale of three.
In [Cadenas y Vicent, V. de; 1987] one can see written both «losange» with «g» and «losanje» with «j», although the occurrences of «losange» with «g» are more than double those of «losanje» with «j».
In [Royal Spanish Academy; 2014] only the term «losange» with «g» is recorded, it says it comes from the French «losange» and defines it as «a rhombus figure placed so that one of the acute angles is at the base and its opposite at the top.».

Comparison between lozengy of 5x6 lozenges and 6x7 lozenges based on the coats of arms of Thomas de Warbrentone and of Pierre de Forcade. It can be observed that, for example, in the case where there is a central pale of Gules, this fits better over the metal Or in the lozengy of smaller lozenges, the 6x7 one, than in the lozengy of larger lozenges, the 5x6 one.

Coat of arms of the Comunidad de Madrid emblazoned by me. In English blazonry, the arrangement of multiple charges is usually described by rows, whereas in Castilian blazonry it is more commonly expressed by columns. However, in this case, as the 7 mullets are placed in chief, it is understood that a horizontal arrangement in 2 rows is the most reasonable solution. For this reason, in both English and Castilian I blazoned the mullets as 4 and 3, that is, 7 mullets arranged in 2 rows, the upper row of 4 mullets and the lower row of 3. It is then the artistic judgement of the heraldic artist to place each of the 3 mullets of the lower row beneath the space between 2 mullets of the upper row, resulting in an overall quincunx arrangement.
The castles came from Castile and the 7 mullet from the bordure of the city of Madrid, they are the stars of the Plough, the 7 brightest stars of the Ursa Major. This coat of arms was adopted by the Comunidad de Madrid the 23th of December 23 of 1983.

C.; 2019; page 341] it states, «the Maltese cross, with its tinctures counterchanged, aims to highlight the town's history, which has been secularly linked to the Royal Monastery of Sijena». The Royal Monastery of Santa María de Sijena is a 12th-century monastery located in Huesca, commissioned by Queen Sancha of Castile, the consort of Alfonso II of Aragon. Established as a monastery for Hospitaller nuns, its construction began around 1183 and it was consecrated in 1188 by Bishop Ricardo of Huesca. Although it was a double monastery housing both nuns and friars, it was governed by prioresses from the very beginning. It has been an honor for me to outlined this version for Valeriano Labara.

In addition to historical documents such as the armorials [Urfé; 15th century] which blazons it and [Bosque, J. del; 1540] which illustrates it, there is, in the last half century, an abundant bibliography on the arms of Navarre, for example: [Menéndez Pidal de Navascués, F.; 1963], [Menéndez Pidal de Navascués, F.; 1974], [Martinena Ruiz, J.

«Ricohombre», written together, currently means «title that formerly belonged to the highest nobility of Spain», [Real Academia Española; 2001].
Its plural «ricoshombres» is the most commonly used form, but «ricohombres» is also correct and used; and in [Bosque, J. del; 1540] it is written separately, and «honbre» with an «n» before the «b», that is, «ricos honbres».

Coat of arms of the House of Noronha in Portugal, a lineage of dual royal origin. The House of Noronha originated with Alfonso Enríquez of Castile, Count of Noreña and Gijón, the natural son of King Henry II of Castile, founder of the Trastámara dynasty, and of Elvira Íñiguez. The lineage became linked to the Portuguese Royal House through the marriage of Alfonso Enríquez to Isabel of Portugal, the natural daughter of King Ferdinand I of Portugal, an alliance arranged in the context of the Treaty of Santarém of 1373, which brought an end to the Fernandine Wars, during which Ferdinand I of Portugal confronted the kings of the House of Trastámara over the throne of Castile following the murder of Peter I at the hands of his half-brother Henry. The House of Noronha became established in Portugal, and its arms quarter those of the Kingdom of Portugal, differenced by a brisure consisting of a baston Sable, and those of the House of Trastámara. This coat of arms has been emblazoned for Fernando Durán Cabral de Mello d’Alpoim by me as a preparatory work for his armorial bearings, his coat of arms has a inescutcheon with the arms of the House of Noronha.

Gules, two axes addorsed Argent, hafted Or, issuant from the base; overall, at the nombril, an escutcheon Or.
Escudo de gules, dos hachas adosadas de plata, fustadas de oro, movientes de la punta; brochante sobre el todo, en el ombligo, un escudete de oro.
Interpretation I have made with the following characteristics: the escutcheon is semicircular, in the classic Castilian style; its field is illuminated with the tincture gules; its 2 axes and escutcheon are outlined in sable and illuminated with the metal Or, and the axe heads in Argent; and the execution is in a raised line style.
The term «hafted» in English is specifically used for weapons with handles, such as axes and hammers. This refers to the part of the weapon where the user grips, which is typically made of wood or metal and is essential for wielding the weapon effectively. The haft is integral to the weapon's function, providing the necessary leverage and control during use.
On the other hand, «shafted» is a term used in English for weapons with a shaft, which is a longer, slender part of the weapon, as seen in spears, arrows, and sometimes in lances. The shaft is usually the primary structural component, providing the length and reach, while also serving as the backbone of the weapon.
In both cases, the term indicates that this part of the weapon is of a different tincture from the rest of the figure.
In Castilian, however, both «hafted» and «shafted» translate to «fustadas», which broadly refers to a similar concept where the handle or shaft is of a different color than the head or blade.
Then, I prefer using «hafted» when referring to axes and hammers due to the specificity of the term in English.
This contrasts with the term «guarnezidas» ~ «hilted», which is used for swords, indicating a different color for the guard or hilt, rather than for the shaft or handle.
For the arrangement of the axes in relation to each other, the one on the dexter facing dexter, the one on the sinister facing sinister, I use the term «addorsed» as it is the most common, but I previously used «back to back», which is said of «two animals, rampant, with their backs against each other, each facing the opposite flank. Two keys are also described as back to back when they are positioned with the bits outward, each to its side; the same applies to sickles, or scythes and generally to all long objects that have two faces, like two axes...» [Avilés, J.; 1780a; page 98], this being the case for the axes in this shield.
«Dalla» is a synonym for «scythe» used in and originating from Aragon and Navarra, [Real Academia Española; 2001].
In the English blazon, «adosadas», «de espaldas», is rendered as «addorsed», from the French «adossé», which is said, for example, when «two animals turned back to back» and some also use «endorsed».

The Royal Council of the Orders of Chivalry of Santiago, Calatrava, Alcantara, and Montesa, in its historical account of the foundation of the Order of Alcantara, states that, according to Alonso de Torres y Tapia, Prior of Alcantara and a 17th-century chronicler, it was founded in 1156, by Don Suero Fernández Barrientos along with other knights from Salamanca, in Pereiro near the River Coa, under the name of the Order of Saint Julian of Pereiro and during the reign of Ferdinand II of León.
Regarding the emblem of the Order of Cavalry of Alcantara, [Avilés, J.; 1780b; treatise IV, chapter V, page 340, figure 102], reusing the same figure 102 as for the Order of Calatrava, says «In the past, the Order of Alcantara displayed on its Standard the Gules Straps of Calatrava», remember that due to the commandery of the city of Alcantara, they had to assume some dependency on that of Calatrava, «next to a Pear tree in Vert on a field of Or, which was the insignia of the Order of Pereiro, due to the conformity with which these two Orders lived; but upon changing their Habit, the Pope» Eugene IV «granted them the green Cross», Vert, «in the manner they wear it today, differing from that of Calatrava only in color».

Order of Chivalry of Calatrava
A cross of Calatrava.
Una cruz de Calatrava.
Interpretation of the emblem of the order with: its cross outlined in Sable, illuminated in Gules; and a heavily beaten metal finish.
The Royal Council of the Orders of Chivalry of Santiago, Calatrava, Alcantara, and Montesa, in its historical review of the foundation of the Order of Calatrava, states that it was founded during the reign of Sancho III of Castile in the 12th century.
After the Templars withdrew from the defense of the town, King Sancho III proposed in Toledo and later confirmed in Almazán, in January 1158, the perpetual donation of the town of Calatrava to Raymond, then Abbot of the Cistercian monastery of Fitero, who, together with the former soldier Diego Velázquez, committed to defending it from attacks by the Almohads. For this mission, they received financial support from the Archbishop of Toledo, Juan, and from Toledo itself, thus managing to form an army of more than 20,000 men.
Regarding the emblem of the Order of Chivalry of Calatrava [Avilés, J.; 1780b; treatise IV, chapter IV, page 338, figure 102] it states «the Seal was always a red cross with blue straps, and the Banner originally bore a black Cross; but today they use the red cross florety, bordered with eight circles, placed side by side, and joined at the center, formed by a cord that emerges from the leaves of the flower, which Benedict XIII gave (while recognized in Spain) and which is the Commandery that the Knights of this Order wear on their chest today, or hanging from a red ribbon on a gold medal; that is, on a field of Or a cross of Gules».

The Royal Council of the Orders of Chivalry of Santiago, Calatrava, Alcantara, and Montesa, in its historical review of the founding of the Order of Montesa, states that it was created in 1317, at the request of James II, King of Aragon, through a bull issued by Pope John XXII.
About the emblem of the Order of Chivalry of Montesa [Avilés, J.; 1780b; treatise IV, chapter VI, page 342, figure 103], it states that «the Ensign of the Knights of Montesa is a plain red Cross», gules, «plain, which they wear on their Capitular Mantles, or hanging from a red ribbon on the chest over a gold oval; that is, on a field of gold a plain cross of gules (different from how the Masters wore it)» and, therefore, it describes the first emblem of the Order of Montesa and not the one they wear now, which is that same plain cross of gules charged on a cross like that of the Order of Calatrava or like that of the Order of Alcantara, but in Sable instead of Gules or Vert.

Regarding the emblem of the Order of Chivalry of Santiago, [Avilés, J.; 1780b; treatise IV, chapter II, page 328, plate 25, figure 100] states «the Commandery of this Order was always a red Sword» (gules ~ red), «in the form of a Cross, just as the guards of the ancient Swords that its Knights and Commanders carried on their white Mantles, and today also on the chest in the same manner, hanging from a red ribbon on a gold medal; that is, in a field of Or, a Cross of Gules».

Coat of arms designed by me, in plain tinctures, contoured in Sable, with a semi-circular outer contour and with a texturized finish.
Canting arms of Dolores Peregrina Corona designed by Juan Lanzagorta Vallín and me and emblazoned by me. In Castilian heraldic tradition, the «adiestrado» ~ «tierce» used in this coat of arms and its symmetrical «siniestrado» ~ «tierce sinister» are «irregular divisions of the field by one line» ~ «particiones irregulares». That is why I use «tierce» and «tierce sinister» in English. There is another possibility, which is to call the «adiestrado» ~ «pale in dexter flank» and the «siniestrado» ~ «pale in sinister flank», thus ceasing to be a type of «divisions of the field» ~ «particiones» and becoming «ordinaries» ~ «piezas fundamentales». This has implications, as the rule of tinctures would apply if it were considered a «pale» ~ «palo». In any case, I will write the blazon in both ways. Alternative blazon: Azure, a dexter arm vested, issuant from sinister, grasping a pilgrim's staff palewise, issuant from base, tied to it a gourd bendwise; on a pale in dexter flank Argent two keys points upwards, in saltire, between in chief an escallop, and in base a mullet of five points environed at dexter by a crescent bendwise azure.
These are canting arms because her surname is «Peregrina» ~ «pilgrim», and her coat of arms depicts the arm of a pilgrim, as she is one herself, with her staff and her gourd for carrying water, advancing towards the dexter, in order to reach the destination of her three most important life pilgrimages: Santiago de Compostela, Rome, and Jerusalem. Following [Petra Sancta, S.; 1634; pages 417–418], in seventeenth-century academic emblematics the staff symbolizes the road understood as an intellectual journey, proper to a traveller who appears humble yet is rich in knowledge, while the gourd, which may seem empty, represents the wisdom preserved within it and from which learning ultimately emerges.

[Avilés, J.; 1780a; page 286] states that he will call «Chequey those ordinaries composed of these small squares, which alternate between metal and colour, or vice versa, just like the boards of those Games.» and he also writes regarding the usual number of panes that «it must have six ranks or rows of these squares, though it is not necessary to specify their number, or at least the shield must include more than fifteen panes; it is only required, to properly blazon it, to always observe the first square, which is in the chief dexter; so that, if this is Or, and the one that follows is Gules, it is said to be Chequey Or and Gules, and so with other colours and metals.»
Although Ponce initially proclaimed himself count of the county of Urgell without sufficient rights, the death of the legitimate heiress and his agreements and assistance to king James I of Aragon enabled him to legalise his title.

Argent, five escutcheons in cross Azure, each charged with five plates in saltire; a bordure Gules, charged with seven castles triple-towered Or, 3, 2, and 2 [for Portugal]; the whole debruised by a baston Sable.
Coat of arms emblazoned by me, illuminated with lights and shadows, outlined in Sable, with an ogee external shape and with a freehand finishing.
Coat of arms of the Kingdom of Portugal differenced by a baston Sable, as it appears in the arms of the House of Noronha. In the Arquivo Heráldico Genealógico of the Viscount Sanches de Baena this brisure is blazoned as «é por diferença um filete de negro sobreposto em banda», while in the Armaría Portuguesa it is described as «um filete negro em contrabanda». This latter term may be confusing, as «contrabanda» corresponds to the bend sinister, that is, the opposite diagonal. For the purpose of blazoning this coat of arms I use the heraldic term «baston» in English ~ «bastón» in Spanish ~ «bande batonnée» in French ~ «bastone» in Italian, denoting a bend reduced to 1/4 of its normal width. It should be recalled that the diminished bend properly speaking is the «bendlet», whose width ranges between 1/2 and 1/3 of that of the bend; the baston, being thinner, is therefore more suitable and proportionate for this shield. This coat of arms has been emblazoned for Fernando Durán Cabral de Mello d’Alpoim by me as a preparatory work for his armorial bearings. In that coat of arms, the inescutcheon of the House of Noronha bears this differenced Portugal arms in the 1st and 4th quarters.

Blazon of the Poumola lineage of Catalonia.
Gules, a millstone Argent.
Escudo de gules, una piedra de molino de plata.
Illuminated and a watercolor finishing with shadow in the hole.
It blazon is describe in [Cadenas y Vicent, V. de; 1987; page 1429], [García Carraffa, A.; García Carraffa, A.; 1968; volume 3, page 358], and [Ferrer i Vives, F.; 1995; volume 2, page 362].
In this case, my theory is that this coat of arms is an example of «canting arms». «Canting arms» use a word or words of the surname or inside the surname to make the coat of arms. The surname Poumola is from Catalonia, we can split the surname into 2 parts «pou-mola», in Catalonian language a) «pou» means «well» and b) «mola» means «millstone» ~ «cadascuna de les dues pedres de forma circular que componen el molí», [GDLC; 1998], and this could be the reason of the symbolism of this coat of arms. «Canting» in heraldry means «talking» or «chatting», in Spanish «canting arms» is translated as «armas parlantes». Some heralds call «canting» to this creative technic.

Coat of arms of Promet Restoration, Seattle, Washington, USA. It is a company founded and owned by the Promet family. This coat of arms has been designed by Dakota Promet and me, and emblazoned by me.
Promet Restoration is company devoted to the preservation and restoration of fine pianos, antique furniture, and historic wooden artefacts, prometrestoration.com. Founded in San Francisco in 1989 by Tynis Promet, and later established in Seattle, the company continues a family tradition that began in 1983 at the National Maritime Museum in Tallinn, Estonia, under the mentorship of Ülo Ots, son of the renowned opera singer Georg Ots. Over the decades, Promet Restoration has restored more than four hundred Steinway pianos and countless heirloom pieces, upholding the mission «To preserve the heirlooms for generations to come». The arms of the company derive from those of the Promet family, simplified and adapted for corporate use. They retain the Estonian heraldic inspiration and the distinctive dovetailed base, a reference to the woodworking joint symbolising precision, craftsmanship, and enduring quality, the very principles upon which the company was founded. The family motto «Per Aspera ad Astra» gives way here to the corporate motto «Quality & Integrity · Est. 1989», expressing the firm’s professional ethos and artistic dedication.

The rule of tincture, «metal should not be put on metal, nor color on color», is the most famous rule of the heraldry. In the divisions of the field, for example, party per fess, party per pale, quartered, etc., the tinctures are beside each other, not one on top of the other, because the divisions are not charges, so the rule of tincture does not apply. Although as a rule of aesthetics may be useful in the case of divisions.

Canting arms of Rex Lancefield emblazoned by me under the directions of his descendant Erik Paul Arnelien. My interpretation is based on a painting of this coat of arms, c. XIX, somewhat deteriorated by handling and the passage of time. I have written the text of the blazon for this coat of arms in English and in Castilian in a structured way, to highlight the parallelism between both forms.

Lionheart ~ Corazón de León ~ Cœur de Lion.
Escudo de gules, dos leones de oro, afrontados, armados y lampasados de azur.
Coat of arms interpreted as follows: the mouth drawn as a semicircular (round) base; the field enamelled in a flat tint of Gules; the two lions outlined in the colour of the field and illuminated in Or and Azure; and the whole finished with a watercolour effect.
He was born in 1157, being the third of eight children of Henry II of England and Eleanor of Aquitaine, elder brother of Eleanor Plantagenet. He was king of England between 1189 and 1199, although he spent much of his life far from it; in fact, during his ten-year reign, he was on English soil only twice, which together did not amount even to six months. He died in 1199 in Normandy.
In 1198, during the Battle of Gisors, he supposedly used, as watchword or as motto, the expression «Dieu et mon Droit ~ God and my right». This phrase refers to his refusal to bow before Emperor Henry VI, since by his rank Richard acknowledged only God as superior. Later, Henry V of England adopted it as his motto, and since then it has been used by the British monarchy.
According to [Humphery-Smith, C.; 1983], Richard the Lionheart was the first English king who can be proved to have borne arms, although some of his predecessors may also have had them. He bases his statement on the existence of two seals of Richard I: on one, Richard bears a shield with a rampant lion, and on the other there already appear the three lions that are the forerunners of the arms of England. The use of this second seal does not imply that he stopped using the first.
In contrast, there are also British authors who maintain that his shield actually bore two affronted lions; this hypothesis is based on the lion on his first seal facing to sinister. That latter hypothesis is the one interpreted in this shield, remaining a purely artistic interpretation and without my entering into a complex and open discussion about how, when, and why the three leopards, «leones pasantes ~ lions passant» for the English, appeared —a discussion in which there are various alternatives— ranging from the combination of his hereditary arms to the wish to have more lions than his younger brother, who would later be King John I of England, to possible influences from other European realms.
This version of Richard I’s shield is similar to the imaginary shield of Hector of Troy, Gules with two lions Or affronté, which is a term used when «two things are placed facing each other, like two Lions, two Dogs, or other animals that look at one another» [Avilés, J.; 1725a; page 32].

Emblem, two two-handed swords in saltire Argent, hilted Or. Crest: A royal crown Or.
Emblema, dos mandobles en sotuer de plata, guarnecidos de oro. Timbrado de una corona real.
Emblem interpretation with: the two-handed swords placed along the diagonals of an imaginary rectangle, with a 5x6 proportion, like a shield, that is, with angles of 50.2°, between the axis of the two-handed swords and the imaginary base of the emblem, unlike the original emblem where the two-handed swords are on the diagonals of a square, therefore with angles of 45°; the two-handed swords and the closed royal crown are outlined in Sable, illuminated and the whole with a raised-stroke execution.
This emblem of the Royal Association of Hidalgos of Spain has 2 two-handed swords that, unlike usual swords, due to their great length and weight, their fencing must be two-handed, hence their name.
The Spanish word «mandoble» comes from «mano doble», meaning «double hand», and refers to a sword wielded with both hands, the equivalent of the English «two-handed sword».
It is known that they are two-handed swords because the 2 that appear in the emblem have a crescent or crossguard in their iron. This crescent is called in Castilian «falsaguarda» and also «ganchos de parada» and its functionality is to protect from the slashes that the opponent could give close to the blade of the two-handed sword.

Argent, a crucible Argent, enflamed and on a bonfire hoguera Gules and Or. Crest: A closed royal crown Or, with eight arches, visible five. Motto: «Limpia, fixa, y da esplendor» Or over a scroll Azure.
Escudo de plata, un crisol de plata, llameante y sumado a una hoguera de gules y oro. Timbrado de una corona real cerrada. Lema: «Limpia, fixa, y da esplendor» de oro sobre una filacteria de azur.
Interpretation made from the Royal Academy emblem: transforming it into a semicircular-based shield, instead of its oval shape; with its motto on a scroll beneath the base, instead of surrounding it; keeping the closed royal crown in its place; with everything illuminated except the field which is in plain color; and the whole outlined in sable and with a parchment-like finish.
In this interpretation, on the Argent field, the Gules fire of the bonfire completely surrounds the Argent crucible, to avoid the metal Argent on the same.
To write the blazon for this coat of arms I use the heraldic term «llameante». Therefore, I do not follow [Avilés, J.; 1780a; page 82 and figure 163] when he writes «...y un Fénix de gules sobre una hoguera encendida de lo mismo.». He uses this example to illustrate the 2 fundamental uses of the term «encendido» which is said when «the Eyes of animals... are of a different color» and «also of a burning Bush and the same for a Torch, when the flame is of a different tincture».

Proporciones de una bordura y una filiera, una filiera es una bordura con su ancho disminuido en 2/3.
In heraldry, a diminished bordure is a diminished bordure. In the design, it is typically drawn at 2/3 the width of a standard bordure. Since the width of a standard bordure is usually 1/6 of the coat of arms' width, a diminished bordure calculated this way would be 1/9 of the coat of arms' width.
However, diminished bordures can also be found with a width of 1/2 that of a standard bordure, in other words, 1/12 of the coat of arms' width, or 1/3 that of a standard bordure, that is to say, 1/18 of the coat of arms's width.
The so-called bordure of pieces usually has a width of 1/2 that of a standard bordure, which is 1/12 of the coat of arms's width.

Arms of the Kingdom of Spain emblazoned by me. Although in the official blazon text it is blazoned as a point vert, and as a point what is painted in a way that it is not known whether it is a large point or an uncutt circular emerald, in the blazon I have described it as an emerald both in Spanish and in English, since the point does not have a clear heraldic existence in Spanish and even less so in English.

Gules, a cross of Burgundy Or; an inescutcheon Or, three bars Gules.
Coat of arms of the Tercio Great Captain, 1st of the Spanish Legion, emblazoned by me in 12 steps. The inescutcheon represents the coat of arms of Gonzalo Fernandez de Cordoba, 1453-1515, «The Great Captain». To paint the coat of arms of the Tercio Gran Capitán, I applied a geometric method that involves dividing both the width and the height of the shield into three equal parts. This way, the central inescutcheon, bearing the arms of Gonzalo Fernandez de Cordoba, occupies exactly one third of the width and one third of the height of the main shield. Beyond its compositional function, this method also serves as a symbolic nod to the name of this historic military unit. The shield of the Tercio has been quite literally built using thirds. It is a small play on words and shapes that combines geometry with heraldic tradition.

Countess of Urgell, Viscountess of Ager, Lady of Alcolea de Cinca, died in 1327.
Dimidiated: 1 Or, four pallets Gules; 2 chequey Or and Sable.
Escudo dimidiado: 1o de oro, cuatro palos de gules; 2o ajedrezado de oro y sable.
Arms interpreted with: a round-bottom shield; all tinctures in flat Or, Gules, and Sable; and a heavily beaten metal finish.
A dimidiated coat of arms is the result of combining two shields of arms by taking the dexter half of the first and the sinister half of the second.
Dimidiation was used in the 13th and 14th centuries to combine, for instance, the arms of two families.
Its blazoning method does not consist of describing what appears in each of the resulting quarters, but rather, by stating from the beginning that it is dimidiated, describing the original coats of arms. Thus, in this particular case of the arms of Teresa of Entenza, it is not stated that there are only two pallets in the first quarter, but that it is dimidiated and has four pallets, so the reader must know that from the four pallets, only the first two are visible due to the dimidiation.
This method of dimidiating the arms of predecessors results in very beautiful and original designs, but depending on the charges and figures involved, in other cases the result may be unrecognisable or even absurd.
Blazon keywords: Dimidiated, Pale, Chequey, Or, Gules and Sable.
Style keywords: Semi-circular, Plain tincture and Hard metal.

Escudo de azur, un sotuer acompanado, en jefe y en punta, de dos cardos de nuridos todo de plata; un escusón de gules.
Coat of arms interpreted with the following characteristics: the shape of its shield is semicircular; the field is a flat tint of Azure; the two thistles and the saltire are illuminated of the metal Argent and outlined in Sable; the inescutcheon is illuminated of the colour Gules and, also, outlined in Sable; and the whole with a mother-of-pearl finish with a raised stroke.
The English term «inescutcheon» corresponds to our Spanish term «escusón». It is called an inescutcheon when there is only one and it is placed in the abyss of the shield.
The English term «escutcheon» corresponds to our Spanish term «escudete». It is used when there are several, for example, 3. Although in this case there is only one, this is the term used in the official blazon of this coat of arms, as will be seen below.
This coat of arms of The Heraldry Society of Scotland was registered and granted ~ «granted» on 7th September 1977, by «The Court of the Lord Lyon», which is the official college of arms for Scotland, lyon-court.com, with the following blazon: «Azure, on a saltire argent between two thistles slipped argent, one in chief and one in base, an escutcheon gules» and it contains 2 thistles, which is the national flower of Scotland, and a saltire Argent on an Azure field, like the flag of Scotland.
The usual way of representing the thistle ~ «thistle» in Castile is with its roots visible, it is called «arrancado». In this case the stem is cut and its roots are not visible, it is called «slipped» ~ «nurido».

Lozengy Or and Azure, on a pale Gules, three estoiles Or.

The term in Castilian for the «estrellas ondadas» (wavy stars) is «Estrella» (star) alone, which, like other figures, if not blazoned, is assumed to have 5 straight rays unless another number is stated.
The English term «estoile», which is used in this blazon, as opposed to «mullet», refers to a star of 6 wavy rays ~ «six points and wavy», which in heraldry are called wavy. Sometimes, and depending on the era, these differences may not have been so clear.

Coat of arms emblazoned by me, illuminated with lights and shadows, outlined in Sable, with an ogee outer contour and with a metal beaten finish.
Coat of arms of the House of Trastámara, founded by Enrique of Trastámara, later King Henry II of Castile, son of Alfonso XI and his mistress Leonor de Guzmán. Adopted at birth by Rodrigo Álvarez de las Asturias, he inherited the lordship of the County of Noreña the following year upon his adoptive father’s death. Later, his father the king granted him the County of Trastámara, among other lordships, giving rise to the House and the Trastámara dynasty, which began when Henry II ascended the throne after killing his half-brother Peter I in 1369. The Trastámara dynasty ruled in Castile, Aragon, Navarre, and Naples, and came to an end with our Queen Joanna of Castile, daughter of Isabella I of Castile and Ferdinand II of Aragon, both members of the House of Trastámara. This coat of arms has been created for Fernando Durán Cabral de Mello d’Alpoim as a preparatory work for his armorial bearings. In that coat of arms, the House of Noronha inescutcheon bears the arms of Trastámara in the 2nd and 3rd quarters.

Emblem Azure, Saint Michael Argent, vested and nimbed Or, grasping in his dexter hand a spear Or, point downward, and in his sinister hand bearing [ Gules, a chain orlewise, crosswise, and saltirewise Or, charged in the fess point with an emerald Vert, of Navarre ], upon a dragon Vert, armed, langued, fanged, and the eyes Gules. Motto: «Universitas Studiorum Navarrensis».
Emblema de azur, un San Miguel de plata, vestido y nimbado de oro, teniendo en su diestra una lanza de oro, con la punta hacia abajo y en su siniestra trae [ escudo gules, una cadena puesta en orla, en cruz y en sotuer de oro, cargada en el centro de una esmeralda de sinople, de Navarra ], sostenido por un dragón de sinople, armado, lampasado, fierezado y encendido de gules. Divisa: «Universitas Studiorum Navarrensis».
Emblem interpreted as follows: oval in shape and more rounded than the original; the field illuminated in Azure; its charges illuminated in Gules, Vert, Argent, and Or, and outlined in Sable; the emerald represented by an enameled area Vert; and the whole emblem has a parchment-like finish.
The archangels Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael are angels; therefore, I classify this emblem both under the category archangel and under angel, while Saint Michael himself is represented in it as a male figure.
Saint Michael the Archangel, in this representation, bears a shield which, at first, I blazon as the current coat of arms of Navarre, chains of gold, the original arms of Navarre being as blazoned in the armorial [Urfé; 15th century; folio 142]: «Gules, a carbuncle Or pommelly, illuminated Vert in the centre in the manner of an emerald». This description does not suggest the presence of chains, but rather the rays of a carbuncle, nor an actual emerald, since what corresponds to the central umbo from which the rays of the carbuncle emerge is enameled Vert.
Due to my way of painting the arms of Navarre in profile, it stands halfway between a carbuncle and chains, with the outer links round like those of a chain, the central ones long like the rays of a carbuncle, and in the centre I have not drawn an emerald, but an enameled area Vert «in the manner of an emerald».

By sewing a number of these pelts together, with white and blue-grey alternating,... one which easily translated into the stylized armorial form of Vair and its variants».

Blazon of the Vilardi lineage of Italy.
Argent, on a pile issuant from the base Azure a saltire Or.
Escudo de plata, una pira de azur cargada de un sotuer de oro.
Illuminated and a free hand finishing.
[Cadenas y Vicent, V. de; 2002; page 138] says that the a pile issuant from the base is «a triangle whose base issues from the base of the shield, being a third of its width», but when it is painted in [Cadenas y Vicent, V. de; 2002; page 268, figure 279] along with the pile the width of the base of both isosceles triangles is 2/3 of the width of the shield. I think the width of 2/3 is, in these 2 cases, better than 1/3 width, because with 1/3 there is not enough room for charges, as shown in the figure below.
There are scholars who say that the pile issuant from the base must not touch the upper edge of the shield and others that its tip should be in the center of the chief. In the previous image, the pile issuant from the base of the 1st shield fulfills the first affirmation, and in the 2nd shield, its tip is in the center of the chief.
I have the doubt if it should not be a saltire raguly.

Or, on a bend Sable, a spear of the first, steeled Argent.
Escudo de oro, una banda de sable, cargada de una lanza de plata, fustada oro.
Coat of arms interpreted by me with: a semicircular (round) base; the field and bend illuminated in Or and Sable; the lance is a tournament one, similar to other Shakespeare coats of arms, which I have illuminated in Argent and Or and outlined from the field; and finished with a lightly hammered metal effect.
In this version of his blazon in English I have written «steeled Argent», which is how some authors write it, while in another article I have specified it as «headed Argent».
In the figure that is charged upon the bend of this interpretation of the shield, I recreate a tournament lance, which is the type usually used to represent the arms of William Shakespeare. Note that the blazon of his shield only indicates «a Spear» ~ «una lanza», so it could equally be the type of lance used by infantry or light cavalry. However, English tradition usually employs, for William Shakespeare, a tournament lance, both for the one charged on the bend and for the one held by the falcon on his crest.
