BPAC, Roger de Lauria II

Parachute Light Infantry Unit.

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.

My approach to the method of drawing the bends used by the Spanish Army for the BPAC II coat of arms

Bendy sinister of seven.

Escudo, tres barras.

Note that if the classic width were used for the bends, which is 1/3 of the shield's width, then the bends would cover almost the entire field.

The vertical axis of symmetry has been extended above the chief and below the base, and has been divided into segments of 1/4 of the shield's height, «h» in the diagram that illustrates this article. At the ends of these segments, parallel lines have been drawn to the bend sinister diagonal of the shield. Since the shield has a 5x6 proportion, the angle of inclination of these diagonals is 50.2^o..

Or, on a bend Sable, a spear Or, headed Argent.

Escudo de oro, una banda de sable, cargada de una lanza de plata, fustada oro.

Coat of arms I have interpreted, unlike others, with: a semicircular (round) base; its field and bend enamelled in flat Or and Sable; its lance is not a tournament lance; the spearhead (the iron) long and broad, to enhance its illuminated Argent; the shaft of the lance illuminated in Or; and the whole finished in watercolor.

Note the different structure of the blazon between Spanish and English, where in the former the lance is Argent with a shaft Or, and in the latter the lance is Or with a spearhead Argent.

[Avilés, J.; 1780a;; page 96, paragraph 2] tells us: «Fustado, said of a tree whose trunk is of a different colour from that of its leaves; and the same is understood of a lance or a pike, whose shaft is of a different tincture from that of the iron.».

Or, on a bend Sable, a spear Or, steeled Argent. Motto: «Non sanz droict»

Escudo de oro, una banda de sable, cargada de una lanza de plata, fustada oro. Lema: «Non sanz droict».

Coat of arms interpreted with: a semicircular (round) base; field and bend in flat tinctures Or and Sable; a lance with a broad and long iron illuminated in Argent; shaft illuminated in Or; motto in Sable upon a scroll of Argent; and the whole finished with a parchment effect.

Its motto in French «Non sanz droict» means «Not without right» and it is considered a canting (speaking) arm by the pun Spear ~ Shakespeare.

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.

Symbolized by the modus ponendo ponens.

Or, on a pale ermine, a potent Gules, in chief a hurt, in base a pomme; between in dexter a hurt, in sinister a pomme.

Escudo oro, un palo de armiños, cargado de una potenza de gules, en jefe un roel de azur, en punta un roel de sinople; acompañado a la diestra de un roel de azur, a la siniestra de un roel de sinople.

Imaginary coat of arms that I have created for logic with: a semicircular (round) base; its field and its pale enameled with plain tinctures Or and Argent; the 4 pieces and the figure in Azure, Gules, and Vert, outlined in Sable and illuminated; and the whole with a raised-stroke effect.

A pale of ermine fur can be placed on a field of metal, as in this case, and also on a field of colour, and can be charged with both colour, as in this case, and metal.
