Argent, a lion rampant Purpure, armed and langued Gules. Crest: An open royal crown Or.

Escudo de plata, un león rampante de púrpura, armado y lampasado de gules. Timbrado de una corona real abierta.

Arms of the King interpreted as follows: the escutcheon is finished in a semi-circular arch; both the field, the lion, and the crown of the crest have been illuminated; and the ensemble has a hammered metal finish.

Purple lion of the Kingdom of León

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. The lion of the Kingdom of León can be found depicted in both purple and gules, but images like this confirm that it is purple, and I particularly favor the purple, as it makes it historically unique.

Grand Laureate Cross of Saint Ferdinand.

Argent, a cross of Alcantara. Crest: A closed royal crown Or, with eight arches, visible five. Behind the shield the Laureate Grand Cross of Saint Ferdinand. Motto: «Hoec nubila tollunt obstantia sicut sol».

Escudo de plata, una cruz de Alcántara. Timbrado de una corona real cerrada. Acolada detrás del escudo la gran cruz laureada de San Fernando. Lema: «Hoec nubila tollunt obstantia sicut sol».

Coat of arms interpreted in the following manner: the shape of the shield is of a semicircular arch; the field is illuminated in metal Argent; the cross of Alcantara, the 4 swords and the 2 laurel branches are outlined in Sable and illuminated in Vert and Gules; the royal crown is closed, outlined in Sable and illuminated with the metal Or, Argent for the pearls, Azure and Or for the orb, Gules and Vert for the gems, Gules for the inner cloth, and Sable for the visible hollow at its base; and the whole has a iridescent finish.

Rif War, July 23, 1921, banks of the Igan River, North Africa

The Alcantara Regiment executed nine successive cavalry charges to protect the infantry's retreat, nine charges until they broke the enemy lines, outnumbering them. The last charge was on foot because all their horses were dead or exhausted. These heroic riders of Alcantara had fulfilled their duty of protecting the wounded infantry in their retreat to El Batel, but the price was appalling: of 691 riders, only 67 survived, and three months were necessary to recover hundreds of corpses.

For this reason, in 2012, the Alcántara Regiment was collectively awarded the Grand Laureate Cross of Saint Ferdinand.

Two lances behind the shield

Since 1987, the coat of arms of the cavalry regiments of the Spanish Army must carry two crossed lances accolade behind the shield. And indeed, this coat of arms of the Alcántara Cavalry Regiment has two lances behind the shield, but in my artistic heraldic interpretation, I did not paint them to avoid detracting from the prominence of the Laureate Cross.

Coat of arms interpreted as follows: the shape of the shield is a semi-circular arch; the field has been illuminated in metal Or; the cross of Montesa is outlined in Sable and illuminated in Sable and Gules; the royal crown is closed, outlined in Sable and illuminated the metal in Or, the pearls in Argent, the orb in Azure and Or, the gemstones in Gules and Vert, the inner cloth in Gules, and the visible hollow at its base in Sable; and the whole has a slightly beaten metal finish.

Regimental Motto

The Latin motto «In hoc signo vinces» is translated as «In this sign, you shall conquer».

The illustration brings together two different aspects. On the one hand, the photograph captures the moment in which I explain the coat of arms of Charles, Holy Roman Emperor, during one of my heraldic art exhibitions, pointing directly to its components while the audience observes. On the other hand, it shows the coat of arms of Charles V as painted by me. All the works visible in the image have been created by me. In this exhibition, I combined the presentation of my coats of arms with a live music concert featuring works by Schubert, Tchaikovsky, Komitas, and Carlos Gardel.

Publication of my interpretation of the arms of Ugnius Mikucionis, on the blog Twelve Lineages of Soria with the article titled: The eminent heraldist Mr. Antonio Salmerón Cabañas interprets the coat of arms of Ugnius Mikucionis (Lithuania and Norway).

Blazon in Spanish by Alfonso de Ceballos-Escalera y Gila, Chronicler of Arms of Castile and León, from his certification of arms: «Vert, a Latin cross made of a wooden staff, raguly, from whose sinister flank issues a leafy branch that encircles the cross from above and entwines over its base, all Or. Crested with a steel helmet affronty, torse Or and Vert, with mantling Vert doubled Or. For crest, the same raguly Latin cross, branched and leafed, Or, placed before two wings Vert».

Blazon in English by The South African Bureau of Heraldry, from its certification of arms: «Vert, a wooden staff, its upper end terminating in a Latin cross, raguly, couped at random, issuant from its sinister nombril point a leaved offshoot encircling the cross, its end terminating and debruising the lower limb Or. Crest: In front of a pair of wings displayed Vert, a wooden staff issuant, its upper end terminating in a Latin cross, raguly, couped at random, issuant from its sinister nombril point a leaved offshoot encircling the cross, its end terminating and debruising the lower limb Or. Wreath and mantling: Vert and Or». I do not agree with the specification of the exact place of origin of the branch, the «nombril point» ~ «navel», because that point of origin does not distinguish this coat of arms from another where the branch could emerge at a different height, either closer or further from the point of the shield, and because it forces the artistic interpretation to either break the rule of fullness or to draw a curved branch in a panache shape to allow it to open before gaining height.

Note how in the Spanish certification of arms, by the Chronicler of Arms of Castile and León, this unnecessary nombril specification as the origin point of the branch is omitted.

The nombril is the exact crossing point of the vertical axis of symmetry of the shield with the lower edge of the bend.

Coat of arms devised by me, illuminated with lights and shadows, outlined in Sable, with an ogee outer contour and with a leather finish.

Coat of arms of Ilmo. Sr. D. Manuel Novo Dabrio, designed by him and me and emblazoned by me. Depending on heraldic traditions, the mantling can be of one colour doubled with a metal, or of several colours and metals. When it is decided to design it in a single colour doubled with a metal, a good rule, though not obligatory, is that the mantling be of the first colour and the first metal named in the blazon. There could be another colour or metal more relevant depending on the case, but this rule often gives good results. So in this case, applying this rule, the mantling is «Vert doubled Argent», since vert and argent are the first colour and metal named in the blazon: «Quarterly: 1 per pale: 1 Argent, a madrone tree (Arbutus unedo) Vert,...». The mantling is filled with my own hand-drawn diapering pattern, which I call «chinapieria», a word my mother used when she saw me drawing this kind of doodle as a young man, each motif drawn individually so that no two repeat exactly the same.

Arms interpreted by me, highlighted with lights and shadows, contoured in Sable, with an ogee external shape and with a watercolor finishing.

This is the coat of arms of Abdulelah Alyahya (Riyadh, Saudi Arabia), designed by Vittorio Gifra (Italy) under his instructions, revised by Bob Juchter van Bergen Quast (Netherlands) and Kevin D. Couling (United Kingdom), and emblazoned by me (Spain). The arms reflect the heritage of the Alyahya family, descendants of the ancient tribe of Beno Tamim (Altamimi) and linked to the modern origins of Saudi Arabia. These arms exemplify how modern heraldry operates on a global scale, the process involved several countries: a design originating in Italy following the instructions of the armiger in Saudi Arabia, revised by experts in the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, and rendered by me in Spain, it serves as an example of international collaboration within the field. In an ordinary, I distinguish between engrailed and invected from the ordinary's point of view; for instance, I define a bordure as invected if, from the interior of the bordure, the edge appears invected (meaning the arcs appear concave); conversely, I say a bordure is engrailed if the arcs appear convex from its interior point of view; in this specific case, regarding a line of division, I describe it as engrailed because, from the perspective of the base of the coat of arms, the arcs of the partition line appear convex [Nisbet, A.; 1816; page 21, pictures 1 and 2].

Vert, on three chevrons Or nine oak leaves Vert, 3, 3, and 3. Crest: Upon a helm with a wreath Or and Vert, a demi-fox guardant, holding in its dexter paw a federschwert bend sinisterwise proper. Mantling: Vert doubled Or. Motto: «Callidus, Curae Plenus, Facetus».

Arms painted by me, illuminated with lights and shadows, contoured in Sable, with a pointed external shape and with a rough finish.

Design rationale

The fox refers to the clever and resourceful character attributed to the armiger’s family. The federschwert evokes his dedication to Historical European Martial Arts, in particular the German school of Liechtenauer and the long sword. The oak leaves have a double meaning: they symbolize nature and spirituality, linked to his belonging to the Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids, and being nine in number they allude to his Irish heritage and the legendary figure of Niall of the Nine Hostages. His ancestry includes Irish, English and German roots, the latter once again connected to the sword. The motto translates as «Clever, Caring, Witty».

Arms emblazoned by me, highlighted with lights and shadows, outlined in Sable, with a corset external shape and with a watercolor finishing.

Coat of arms of Amber Martinez, California, designed by her, improved by Kevin D Couling and Bob Juchter van Bergen Quast and emblazoned by me. The motto «Miseris succurrere disco» originates from Virgil's «Aeneid», [Virgil, P.; Century I B.C.; book I, verse 630], numbered as verses 630-631 in some editions. The complete sentence is «Non ignara mali, miseris succurrere disco», commonly translated as «Not being unacquainted with suffering, I learn to help those who suffer» or «Knowing suffering myself, I have learned to come to the aid of the unfortunate». These words are spoken by Queen Dido of Carthage as she welcomes Aeneas and his shipwrecked Trojans. Offering them refuge and protection, Dido explains that she herself has experienced exile and hardship after fleeing Tyre following the murder of her husband. Her own experience of suffering has taught her compassion and empathy for those enduring misfortune, making this passage one of the most enduring literary expressions of charity, hospitality, and solidarity with people in distress.

«Armas antigas» ~ ancient arms of family d’Alpoim, originally from France, emblazoned for Fernando Durán Cabral de Mello d’Alpoim by me according to his instructions and based, except for the cry, on descriptions from armorials such as «Nobiliário da Ilha Terceira» by Eduardo de Campos de Castro de Azevedo Soares, «Pedatura Lusitana», on the noble families of Portugal, by Cristóvão Alão de Morais, the chapter «O Solar dos Alpoins» by A. Nogueira Gonçalves, or «Armaria Portuguesa» that describes it in Portuguese «De azul, cinco flores de lis de oiro. T.: braço vestido de azul, a mão de encarnação segurando um listão tambem de azul, e nelle, em letras de oiro, o grito Nostre Dame de Puy» and also in French «D'azur à cinq fleurs-de-lis d'or. C.: un bras paré d'azur, la main de camation tenant un listel d'azur avec le cri, Nostre Dame de Puy, en lettres d'or». 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.

Registered by The International Register of Arms, 1^st of December of 2022, Registration number 0690, Volume 4.

In Spanish heraldry, there are three terms for supporters: «sostenes» for objects or plants, «tenantes» for human figures, and «soportes» for animal forms. The following applies to sostenes, tenantes, and soportes. Unlike other heraldic traditions such as English heraldry, in Spanish heraldry there are no rules for the use of supporters; their use is at the armiger's discretion, without specific restrictions. Supporters are not reserved only for nobility; their use is free for all.

R0047, Chief Herald of Arms of Malta's grant for the arms of Olivia Zangenberg's arms, United Kindom, whose full achievement has been emblazoned by me for such register. In the practice of the Office of the Chief Herald of Arms of Malta, whose grants and registrations are officially published in the Government Gazette, a double coronation is occasionally observed within the armorial achievements. In this case, the coronet resting directly upon the shield represents the personal rank of the armiger (in this case, a coronet of noble as the daughter of a baron), while the superior coronet identifies the dignity of the family to which she or he belongs. The Office's policy is detailed in the book [Gauci, C. A.; 2023; 145], «The Way Forward»: «In the British tradition, coronets of rank are normally borne immediately above the shield, but in other countries e.g., Spain, Portugal, France the coronet of rank may be borne above the helm, not unlike a crest coronet. In Malta some title-holders display their coronet above the shield while others display it above the helm. In some cases, this may be due to the fact that some holders of Maltese titles of foreign origins, opt to follow the heraldic rules of the country which granted the original title. In other case it appears to rest purely on the whims of the title-holder. The Office of the Chief Herald of Arms of Malta will normally choose to display coronets of rank immediately above the shield but will not stand in the way of family tradition should there be a preference for the coronet to be displayed elsewhere in the Arms. However, a titular coronet, unlike a crest coronet (see below), must never be placed above a wreath or be separated from the helm by a fold of mantling. This would reduce its status to that of a crest coronet».

Gules, a saltire Or charged with a fillet saltire Sable between in chief three escallops reversed Or; in dexter, a dexter arm embowed, vambraced Argent, holding an anchor Or; in sinister a two masted warship, with cannons ports and sails hoisted Or, two flags Gules, Argent and Azure flying to dexter, one in the main mast and one in the stern, on the hull the inscription «La Liberta» Sable; in base a crowned double-headed eagle displayed Or, holding two tassels, one in each beak, and two mullets of six points pierced, one in each talon Argent. Crest: A helm befitting his degree with a mantle Gules lined Or, pleated in chief at both dexter and sinister, and bearing an Adelskrone held in its place by two men Sable, vested with feather skirts Gules, each standing on the shield, and holding in his outer hand a diagonally placed tournament spears, headed Argent, and issuant from the Adelskrone, between two elephants' trunks, the one at dexter Or, the one at sinister Gules, two ostrich feathers in saltire, the one bendwise Argent, and the one bend sinisterwise Sable.

This is the coat of arms of Johann Anton Freiherr von Quast. The image above shows the historical illustration as it appears in the «Freiherren-Diploma Johann Anton Freiherr von Quast, 1790, Bayerisches Hauptstaatsarchiv, Königlich-Bayerisches Heroldsamt, Bd. 20-1 nr. 26, Opvallend zijn de onmiskenbare verwijzingen naar het verblijf in de West», which can be consulted on the website juchtervanbergenquast.wordpress.com and below is my current interpretation of this coat of arms. In heraldry there are two kinds of tinctures: colours, for example Gules, Azure, and Sable, and metals, Or and Argent. There is also a heraldic rule of tinctures that states not colour on colour and not metal on metal. The vambraced arm was originally Azure over a Gules field, which is colour on colour and against the rule. I corrected it with the family’s permission by changing the vambraced arm to Argent, so now it is metal Argent on colour Gules, which is correct, and Argent is a good tincture for armory. For this reason, I also used Argent for the helm and for the tips of the tournament spear. The flags also show colour on colour, but they are decorative details and not important, and changing their colours would alter the ship’s nationality, which must remain as it is. It is possible that the Azure we now see originated from the fact that the arm vambraced , the spearheads, and the helm were originally depicted as iron or proper and that over the course of time this natural greyish tone gradually turned into Azure.

Or, a cross of Calatrava. Crest: An open royal crown Or.

Escudo de oro, una cruz de Calatrava. Timbrado de una corona real abierta.

Coat of arms interpreted as follows: the shield's shape is a semicircular arch; the field is illuminated in metal Or; the cross of Calatrava is outlined in Sable and illuminated in Gules; the royal crown is open, outlined in Sable and illuminated in metal Or, pearls in Argent, gemstones in Gules and Vert, and the visible base hollow in Sable; and the entire piece has a slightly hammered metal finish.

The municipality of Jamilena belongs to the La Campiña region and is the smallest in the province of Jaén. I have depicted its coat of arms with an open royal crown, but representations with a closed royal crown can also be found.

The origin of the cross of Calatrava in its heraldic coat of arms dates back to the year 1525 when Emperor Charles V issued several decrees from Toledo to build a convent for nuns in Jamilena. For the construction of this convent, stones from the Muslim castle, which was reformed and occupied by the Order of Calatrava, were used.

The Royal Association of Hidalgos of Spain was founded under the name «Asociación de Hidalgos, Infanzones y Noblezas a Fuero de España» by Vicente and Francisco de Cadenas y Vicent, the Marquises of Siete Iglesias and of Zayas, and also by Valentín Dávila Jalón, Marquis of Dávila.

This association brings together nobles of Spanish lineages with the aim of maintaining and promoting the traditional values of the hidalguía and is inspired by the principles of Christian humanism. It fulfills its duty to provide services to Spain, its institutions and its citizens, with loyalty to the Crown and commitment to Spanish culture and history.

Its magazine Hidalgos, also known as «La Gacetilla de Hidalgos de España», or simply «La Gacetilla», as this was its name until the end of 2010, precisely until its issue 524 of October, November and December 2010. This magazine is an excellent source of knowledge and information, and some of its articles are cited throughout Blason.es, for example, those by [Valero de Bernabé, L.; 2009b], [Valero de Bernabé, L.; 2010] and [Valero de Bernabé, L.; 2012b].

In saltire arrangements, I prefer to place the element in bend over the element in bend sinister, since the bend takes precedence over the bend sinister. Therefore, in my interpretation of this coat of arms and unlike other interpretations, the two-handed sword placed in bend is drawn above the one placed in bend sinister.
