Coat of arms depicted by me, highlighted with lights and shadows, outlined 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 English I use the word «motto», but in Spanish I usually use the word «lema»; however, when the text identifies the armiger, as in this case, I use the word «divisa».

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.

Coat of arms of the city of Almeria, Andalusia, emblazoned by me. In 1147, during the Reconquista, the city of Almería was captured by the forces of King Alfonso VII of León, known as «the Emperor», as part of a broader crusading effort declared by Pope Eugene III. The conquest came in response to the Almohad invasion of 1146, which had begun with a landing in Algeciras and quickly seized key territories in the south of the Iberian Peninsula. In reaction, Alfonso VII negotiated an alliance with the Almoravid leader Ibn Ganiya to organize a resistance. He met with Ramon Berenguer IV, Count of Barcelona, and García Ramírez of Navarre, and together they planned the assault on Almería, which at the time was under Almoravid control. Crucial to the success of the operation was the support of the powerful Genoese navy, as well as French crusaders who had responded to the papal call. Subsequently, in recognition of Genoa’s decisive role in the campaign, Almería adopted as the central element of its coat of arms the Genoese emblem: «Argent, a cross Gules».

Or, a eagle displayed Sable.
Coat of arms of the Arrano Beltza, the black eagle, emblazoned by me in 6 steps: 1) Given a rectangle of any proportion, draw its vertical and horizontal axes of symmetry in Azure. Draw a line parallel to the horizontal axis at any distance; in the figure, it is drawn above the axis and in Vert. To achieve this, draw an arc, in gules in the figure, with its center at the point Pcj and of any radius, where Pd is the intersection of the arc with the dexter side and Ps the intersection with the sinister side. The parallel line runs from Pd to Ps. 2) Draw the diagonal in bend of the 3rd quarter, from Pd to Pcp, and the diagonal in bend sinister of the 4th quarter, from Ps to Pcp, both in Gules in the figure. Then draw their two perpendicular bisectors, which will intersect the Pd-Ps line at the points Cs and Cd. 4) With Cd as the center, draw the dexter arc of the base passing through Pd, with a radius of Cd-Pd. Similarly, with Cs as the center, draw the sinister arc of the base passing through Ps, with a radius of Cs-Ps. Both arcs intersect at the point Pcp at the base and are shown in Gules in the figure. 5) Draw in Sable the external shape of the coat of arms, formed by the arcs from Ps to Pcp and Pd to Pcp, the dexter flank from Pd to Pdj at the dexter of the chief, the sinister flank from Ps to Psj at the sinister of the chief, and the upper horizontal line of the chief from Pdj to Psj. 6) Draw an eagle displayed using the rule of plenitude. 7) Finally, paint the field of the shield Or and the eagle Sable.

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].

A Castle Or, triple towered, embattled, port and windows Azure, and masoned Sable.
Un castillo de oro, aclarado de azur, mazonado de 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.

Some of the main characteristics of the heraldry of Castile are:
The following image shows 4 examples of coats of arms, each of which has some of these characteristics, including one Castilian castle.
In the United Kingdom, there are several heraldic traditions, one of them being English heraldry.
In the Kingdom of Spain, there are several heraldic traditions, for example, the Castilian tradition.
In my humble opinion, we should compare at the same level, English heraldry with, for example, Castilian heraldry, but not with all Spanish heraldry. We shouldn't do it for the same reason we don't mix Scottish heraldic tradition with English, as they are so different.
In the case of Castilian heraldry, the 8 main differences with English heraldry are:

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.

This is his coat of arms Vitéz László Gábor emblazoned by me. Per fess is the horizontal division into two parts, and per pale is the vertical division into two; therefore, per fess and per pale in base means that the shield is first divided horizontally, with the upper part as the first quarter, and the lower part is then divided vertically into two, forming the second and third quarters. The heraldic crescent is a moon with its horns pointing upward (to chief); to distinguish it from the natural crescent moon, in Spanish heraldry it is called «creciente tornado», while in English the equivalent term is increscent. The Castilian «filiera» is a narrow bordure, thinner than the ordinary one; in English it has no specific name and is usually referred to simply as a bordure, or rarely as a diminished bordure or fillet bordure. In the crest, fimbriated and barred Or indicates that the border details and grill-bars of the helm are gold, while lined refers to its interior, here Gules.

Sable, a crozier Or, between three garbs Or.
Escudo de sable, un báculo de oro, acompañado de tres gavillas de trigo de oro.
Coat of arms interpreted with: a rounded base; the field illuminated in Sable; the crozier illuminated in Or, facing right on the shield and outlined in Sable; the garbs illuminated in Or and outlined in Sable; and the whole with a leather texture.
A coat of arms recorded in [King, D.; 1656] which in Cheshire Heraldry is blazoned as follows: «Sable a crozier in pale between three garbs Or».
As a curiosity, it can be observed that in [King, D.; 1656] and in Cheshire Heraldry, the croziers ~ báculos are depicted with their head facing left on the shield, whereas, in general, it is more common to represent them facing right; for my interpretation I have chosen this latter arrangement.
Since the three garbs are arranged in the usual heraldic manner, it is possible to omit the expression «2 y 1» or «ordered», though it may also be included to avoid any doubt.

I swear by the 1st rule of heraldry I will never emblazon again an eagle Sable on a field Gules.
The heraldic rule of tinctures: «a colour cannot go on top of another colour and a metal cannot go on top of another metal».
This coat of arms is similar to the arms of Henry VI the Good, Prince of Silesia and Duque of Wroclaw, blazon: «Gules, an eagel displayed Sable».
If it was Edmund Leighton's intention to paint Henry VI, then the justification would be that Silesia is located in Poland and in the Polish heraldic tradition, the sable is considered a neutral tincture, that is neither color nor metal, so they can put the sable on the color gules. But I doubt that the Prince of Silesia and Duke of Wroclaw would have needed to be knighted.

Banner quarterly of sixteen: 1, 6, 11, and 16 Azure, three fleurs de lis Or; 2, 5, 12, and 15 Gules, three lions, passant, guardant, in pale Or, armed and langued Azure; 3, 8, 9, and 14 Gules, a castle triple towered Or, port and windows Azure, masoned Sable; 4, 7, 10, and 13 Argent, a lion rampant Purpure, armed and langued Gules, crowned Or.

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.

Arms of King Ferdinand III of Castile, as interpreted by me, with the following characteristics: the shield’s shape is rounded; the field, the two castles, and the two lions have been illuminated; and the whole composition features a watercolor finish.
It is with King Ferdinand III the Saint of Castile when «the emblematic system reaches its highest degree of perfection, acquiring two characteristics: realism, which becomes a hallmark of Spanish heraldry,... and the tendency to combine coats of arms» with the appearance of quarterly divisions replacing the cadency marks used in the rest of Europe [Valverde Ogallar, P. B.; 2001; page 100].

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.

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».

G0113, Chief Herald of Arms of Malta's grant of Randy David Lee Xavier Potts's arms, whose coat of arms has been emblazoned by me. The difference between the coat of arms assumed by Randy Potts and the coat of arms granted by the Chief Herald of Arms of Malta is that the bald eagle in the chief is blazoned proper.

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.

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.

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.

The arms of John Brady from Ireland, designed and emblazoned by me. To write here his blazon I follow an Irish style.
These arms were created for the descendants of Christopher Joseph Parnell Brady and Estella Amelia Arigho. The design is rooted in the traditional Brady Arms, including those recorded by the Ulster King of Arms in Dublin, while the hound’s head draws inspiration from the Arms of Caneggio, the Swiss municipality where the Arigho family originates, represented as Azure with a brach hound’s head couped Argent, but with the tinctures exchanged, painting Azure where it was Argent and vice versa. The number three holds dual significance. On the Brady side, it represents three generations tracing back to the Drumlins of County Cavan, those characteristic rounded hills of the Irish landscape. On the Arigho side, it symbolizes three generations leading to the Alps, represented by the chevron Argent over a Sable field, evoking the snow-capped peaks of the mountains, a nod to the family's Swiss heritage.

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.

Escudo de oro, tres potes de sable.

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.

Coat of arms of Her Excellency Ratu Muda Malka Bas Reuven emblazoned by me with a shape known as a vesica piscis, and with the blazon written in English and Castilian in a structured way to observe the parallelism between both forms. My experience is that if shield shapes are named after countries, this creates problems in an international context. For example, if the shield with a rounded base is called a «Spanish shield», sooner or later someone will point out that the same shape is also used in Portugal, Hungary, or Poland, making it not exclusively Spanish. For this reason, I avoid assigning shield shapes names based on countries or kingdoms and instead give them names that describe their formal characteristics, which is not always easy. For example, I call the «semi-circular shield» in English and «escudo de medio punto» in Castilian to the commonly referred as «Spanish», or the «ogee shield» one that ends in an inverted ogee arch, «conopial» in Castilian. Despite this, at some point, breaking my own rule, I used the term «Bantu» to refer to the almond-shaped shield, only to be quickly corrected and informed of its connection to other African kingdoms. My mistake was not using the name I had always given it: «mandorla» in Castilian and «vesica piscis» in English.

Argent, a bend Sable, between two lions' heads ereased Sable, langued Gules.
Escudo de plata, una banda de sable, acompañada de dos cabezas de león de sable, lampasadas de gules.
Coat of arms interpreted with: a rounded base; the field and the bend illuminated in Argent and Sable; the charges in plain Sable and Gules tinctures, outlined in Sable; and the whole in leather.
[Goldstraw, M. S. J.; 2013b] blazons it as «Argent, a bend between two lions' heads ereased Sable», this being the first coat of arms I interpreted from the County of Cheshire.
While in Castilian one uses the plural for the heads and the singular for the lion, that is, one writes «dos cabezas de león», in English one uses the plural for both the heads and the lions, that is, one writes «two lions' heads» and, therefore, the «s» of the Saxon genitive is omitted and only the apostrophe is written. This usage is general, for example:
Except in cases where the term is used in English as if it were an adjective, for example «two Catherine wheels» ~ «dos ruedas de Santa Catalina», which are the wheels used to martyr her, or «three wagon wheels» ~ «tres ruedas de carro».

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.

Coat of arms interpreted with: a semicircular (round) base; illuminated in the tinctures Argent, Gules, and Sable; all outlined in Sable; and finished with a raised-stroke effect.
[Avilés, J.; 1725a; pages 92 and figure 197] blazons it as «Argent, and a six-pointed star Gules in chief, flanched in oval Sable». When he illustrates it in [Avilés, J.; 1725a; figure 197], the space left between both flanches is only 1/5 of the base of the coat of arms; this is feasible because the only charge is a mullet in chief. If there were more charges, it would be necessary to leave more space, for example, 1/3 of the base of the shield.
«Oschoven au Rhein» in the book [Menestrier, C. F.; 1659; page 315], it is blazoned «d'argent flanqué arrondi de sable à vne molette de mesme en chef», so the mullet would be Sable, bacause «de mesme» is written, and with a hole in the middle, this hole does not exits in other sources.
In the book [Rietstap, J. B.; 1861], it is blazoned «Argent, flanched in round Sable, Argent charged in chief of a mullet Gules», and in French «d'argent, flanqué en rond de sable, l'argent chargé en chef d'une étoile de gueules».

He bears a quarterly shield combining the first quarter of his father’s arms, Castile, with his mother’s arms. Among all his siblings, he is the one who most closely combines the arms of both parents.

My heraldic Pixiv wall is Dr.A.Salmeron @antoniosheraldry and pixiv.me/antoniosheraldry.
Pixiv is a Japanese online community for artists. I post in Pixiv 2 or 3 coats of arms per week. They use a strict form to post with many mandatory input fields. This week, they have added a new mandatory field «AI-generated work: Yes / No», AI ~ Artificial Intelligence. In the image, I have highlighted this new field in red.
My animation of the coat of arms of Juan Lanzagorta reached position 33 in Pixiv’s daily Ugoira animation ranking. I am very happy about this, as it is not easy to achieve.

Chequey Or and Sable.
Escudo ajedrezado de oro y sable.
Arms interpreted with: a shield shaped as a triangle with curved sides; the chequey pattern in flat metal Or and colour Sable; and a heavily beaten metal finish.
[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. During this process, the capital of the county ceased to be the municipality of Balaguer only to eventually become it once again.

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.

Argent, a cross patty Gules, cantoned of four mullets of eight points Azure; on a chief Sable, an elephant passant Or. Motto: «Prior tempore potior iure»
Escudo de plata, una estrecha patada de gules, cantonada de cuatro estrellas de ocho puntas de azur; en un jefe de sable, un elefante pasante de oro. Lema: «Prior tempore potior iure»
Coat of arms of the RIAG interpreted as follows: with a semicircular (round) base; the field in plain Argent enamel; the chief illuminated in Sable with its elephant illuminated in the same Sable; the narrow cross outlined in Sable and illuminated in Gules; the 4 stars outlined in Sable and illuminated in Azure; the motto illuminated in Argent, outlined and written in Sable; and the whole executed in parchment.
[Avilés, J.; 1780a; página 277] simply calls «estrecha» the narrow cross and defines it as «una Cruz disminuida de la mitad de su anchura regular, y su forma es la de la figura ordinaria», that is, if the cross width is 1/3 of the shield base width, the narrow cross width is 1/6 of the shield base width. He also recounts that the origin of the narrow cross is attributed to Mathieu de Montmoranci who «mudando la Cruz blanca, y quatro Aguiletas, que traían sus predecesores, en la Cruz roxa con diez y seis, se llamó Cruz estrecha por algunos, porque habiendo de dar lugar á las diez y seis Aguiletas, fué preciso estrechar la Cruz; pues de lo contrario no habría bastante capacidad para las otras figuras, y por eso le quedó este nombre». The width I have used in this interpretation of the coat of arms of Registro Internacional de Armas Gentilicias is slightly less than 1/6 of the shield to balance its widening at the ends as it is a narrow patty cross.

Coat of arms devised by me, highlighted with lights and shadows, outlined in Sable, with a semi-circular outer contour and with a leather finishing.
The matrimonial and family arms of Darryn Carlo of the Commonwealth of Australia and longtime resident of the Kingdom of Spain, and Roberto Luchoro of the Kingdom of Spain, who were married in Madrid represents their lives together over nearly two decades cumulating in their union in marriage. The elements from their arms of the most significant places associated with their lives to date are as follows: The field of Vert from the arms of Darryn's hometown of Wagga Wagga in New South Wales, Australia, also represents Roberto's service in the Spanish armed forces and the Guardia Civil. The castle, taken from the arms of Alicante and Talavera de la Reina, represents Roberto’s birthplace and the city where both of them lived for a time. The Merino ram’s head also comes from Wagga Wagga. The Gules of the port and windows in the castle is a reference to the field of Gules in the arms of Talavera de la Reina. The two wolves are taken from the arms of the city of Bilbao in the Basque Country where the couple met and lived for many years and the seven stars are taken from the flag and arms of the region and city of Madrid where they currently live and work. The tinctures of Vert, Argent and Gules, shown in the port and windows of the castle, are also a hint to where they spent their honeymoon. The language of the motto, Latin, was chosen to represent the shared Latin heritage of the couple. The meaning of the motto «Amor Non Timet» is a powerful statement in itself and represents the strength of the commitment, the love and bond shared between them.

Sable, three Towers Or, two and one
The classic heraldic layout for three charges on a coat of arms is two in chief and on in base. The layout one in chief and two at base are considered disordered in many heraldic traditions.
The blazon of this coat of arms, «Sable, three Towers Or, two and one», is disordered, and the entropy refers to disorder, and more entropy means more disorder. Then this imaginary coat of arms is full of entropy, and it could belong to the entropy.

William Shakespeare, «Coriolanus», Tragedy in 5 acts and 29 scenes, written in verse, dated to either 1608 or 1609, depending on the sources.
It is one of the last works written by William Shakespeare, a tragedy based on the life of Caius Marcius Coriolanus, a legendary Roman general from the 5th century B.C. Some authors consider General Coriolanus to be a historical figure, while others do not.
Initially known only as Caius Marcius, during the war against the Volsci he becomes a hero by entering the city of Corioli with a few soldiers, and from then on, he is called Caius Marcius Coriolanus.
I prithee now, my son,
Go to them, with this bonnet in thy hand;
And thus far having stretch'd it (here be with them)
Thy knee bussing the stones (for in such business
Action is eloquence, and the eyes of the ignorant
More learned than the ears) waving thy head,
Which often, thus, correcting thy stout heart,
Now humble as the ripest mulberry
That will not hold the handling: or say to them,
Thou art their soldier, and being bred in broils
Hast not the soft way which, thou dost confess,
Were fit for thee to use as they to claim,
In asking their good loves, but thou wilt frame
Thyself, forsooth, hereafter theirs, so far
As thou hast power and person.
Bibliographical reference of century XVII.

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.

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.

The origin of the Casa Troncal of the Twelve Lineages of Soria dates back to the time of the repopulation of Soria by King Alfonso I of Aragon, although some authors suggest that its origin lies in the time of King Alfonso VII or King Alfonso VIII, the latter being the monarch from whom the well-known privilege of the one hundred suits of armour derives.
