Bend sinister

There is a series of nine coats of arms in the ballroom of the castle:

• Or, three Fleurs de lis Azure.
• Azure, a Bendsinister Or.
• Or, a Fleur de lis Azure.
• Azure, a Cross Or.
• Or, five Fleur de lis Azure in saltire.
• Azure, a Fess Or.
• Or, two Fleur de lis Azure in bend.
• Azure, a Saltire Or.
• Or, four Fleur de lis Azure.

There are so many Fleurs de lis that everyone, except the joker, calls it the «fleurdelisée» room. Nobody knows the reason why the joker says there is none, do you?

Quarterly: 1 Azure, a cross Or; 2 Vert, a saltire Or; 3 Vert, a bend sinister Or; 4 Azure, a fess Or.

Escudo cuartelado: 1^o de azur, una cruz de oro; 2^o de sinople, un sotuer de oro; 3^o de sinople, una barra de oro; 4^o de azur, una faja de oro.

Imaginary coat of arms that I have created featuring: a semicircular external shape; a field enamelled with flat azure and green inks; all pieces in metal Or, outlined in Sable and illuminated; and the entire design finished with a watercolor effect.

This coat of arms symbolizes the fundamental area of mathematical science, whose object of study is numbers and the elementary operations that can be performed with them: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Argent, three bendlets sinister Azure. Motto: «BPAC. Roger de Lauria II».

Escudo de plata, tres barras de azur. Divisa: «BPAC. Roger de Lauria II».

For this interpretation, I have used: a shield with a pointed shape; the angle of the main diagonal of a rectangle with a 5x6 proportion, which is 50.2^o; a recreation of the division that I deduce seems to be used by the Spanish Army for this coat of arms; and for the whole, a rough finish.

Transform the blazon «Or» into «Or, five Pommes in saltire» and the blazon «Argent» into «Argent, five Hurts in saltire» moving the pommes and hurts through both metals, without breaking the rule of tinctures.

You can change one charge by another one, but only once.

For example, if you change «Sable, a Bend Argent» by «Sable, a Pale Argent», then the Pommes can arrive to «Or» blazon. However, this is not a solution, because the Hurts cannot walk to «Argent» blazon.

For example, if you change «Azure, a Cross Argent» by «Azure, a Pall Argent», then the Pommes can arrive to «Or» blazon and the Hurts can arrive to «Argent» blazon. You can view both paths azure and vert in the following image.

Other solution is to change «Azure, a Cross Argent» by «Azure, a Bordure Argent».

Argent, three bendlets sinister Azure.

Escudo de plata, tres barras de azur.

Coat of arms interpreted by me with: a pointed and rounded shape; its bends sinister with a slope corresponding to the 5x6 proportion, distributed evenly along the entire dexter diagonal of the rectangle in which the coat of arms is inscribed; the field in plain Argent tincture; the bends sinister illuminated in Azure and outlined in Sable; and the whole with a rough finish.

Initially, I had blazoned it in English as «Bendy sinister of seven Argent and Azure», but in a conversation on a forum of The International Heraldry Society, it was pointed out to me that in the case of an odd number of bands or bends, it should not be blazoned as «bendy». Therefore, the English blazon is equivalent to the Spanish blazon «Argent, three bendlets sinister Azure».

Proportions and angle of a bend and a bend sinister.

The proportion of a coat of arms is 5/6,

• with 5 being the base, the so-called adjacent side, b in the diagram, and
• with 6 being the height, the so-called opposite side, h in the diagram.

The tangent of the angle between the base of the shield and the diagonal of the bend is calculated as the opposite side divided by the adjacent side, that is, 6 divided by 5 which is 1.2 = 6/5.

If I wish to know the angle, I must apply the inverse function of the tangent, which is the arctangent. Therefore, the angle is arctangent(6/5) = arctangent(1.2) = 50.194^o, which in radians is 0.876, and I usually round it to 50.2^o.

The complementary angle to 50.2^o is 39.8^o (90^o - 50.2^o = 39.8^o), which is the angle formed between the diagonal of the bend sinister and the dexter side of the shield.

Depending on the artist, on his style or, in other cases, on the need to organize the space within the shield, angles of 45^o can also be used, corresponding to the diagonal angle of a square.
