Alfonso Sánchez de Perella, first mayor of Burgos emblazoned by me. He appears as the [Cofradía de Santiago; Century XIV; 4^th knight, 1^st of the page 21 V], from this 14^th century Book of the Brotherhood of Knights of Santiago de la Fuente. This was a brotherhood founded by the Burgos citizens at the time of King Alfonso XI of Castilla, 1311-1350. In the book, there are 14 saltires instead of 16, as it appears that one is missing on the sinister side of the base, and there are 4 in the chief instead of 5.

Coat of arms of His Majesty King Charles III emblazoned by me, displayed over the known «King Charles III Tartan», registration 14030 at the Scottish Register of Tartans. It was created by the Scottish Tartans Authority for His Majesty on the occasion of his coronation, drawing from the sett of the Balmoral Tartan circa 1850, and features a central triple-stripe motif (one broad and two narrow) found in previous royal tartans worn by the King. Its palette, including green, blue and a soft red, has been matched to eighteenth-century natural-dye examples from the Scottish Tartans Authority collection.

G0113, Chief Herald of Arms of Malta's grant of Randy David Lee Xavier Potts's badge, it has been emblazoned by me. The principal difference between the insignia assumed by Randy Potts and the insignia granted by the Chief Herald of Arms of Malta is that, in order to maintain consonance with the coat of arms, the bald eagle depicted in this insignia is blazoned proper. This heraldic badge has been included in the book [Gauci, C. A.; Cassar, R. M.; 2025; page 175].

With the aim of aiding in the study and perpetuation of heraldry in the United States and abroad.

Sable, a lion rampant Or, armed and langued Gules, crowned Or, holding in the dexter a baton flory Or.

Escudo de sable, un león rampante de oro, armado y lampasado de gules, coronado de oro, teniendo en su diestra un cetro flordelisado de oro.

I interpret its coat of arms with: a Spanish base in semicircular (round) form; the field illuminated in Sable; the lion, its crown and its baton outlined of the field, shaded and illuminated in Or, except the claws and tongue which are Gules; and the whole with a lightly beaten metal finish.

Flordelisado ~ florenzado ~ flory ~ fleury ~ floretty ~ florenté

The baton ends in a fleur-de-lis, hence it is blazoned as «flory» and according to [Avilés, J.; 1780a; página 93] «flordelisadas, se dice de las Cruces, cuyos brazos se terminan en flores de Lis».

For a time I distinguished between «flordelisadas» and «florenzadas» crosses depending on the artistic style of the termination, but over time I found that the difference was, precisely, more artistic than heraldic, so I decided to use the term flordelisada in a general way.

Some authors consider them different terms and others equivalent. If they are considered equivalent then florenzadas ~ flordelisadas and, therefore, «cetro florenzado» ~ «cetro flordelisado». In English one says «flory» ~ «flordelisado» and it can also be found written as «fleury» ~ «floretty» ~ «florenté», for example, [The Heraldry Society; 2013; página 6] uses the term «flory» to describe the very arms of The Heraldry Society when it blazons them as «Quarterly Azure and Gules a Lion's Face crowned with an Ancient Crown Or within a Tressure flory on the outer edge of the same».
