In bend and fesswise

Azure, three crowns in bend, fesswise Or.

Azure, three crowns in bend, fesswise Or.

Escudo de azur, tres coronas en banda, puestas en faja de oro.

Crown with the main axis being the vertical and central axis of symmetry and which is usually placed palewise. The sole purpose of this coat of arms, as well as the rest of the similar ones, is to illustrate the use of «in» and «wise».

  • In bend ~ en banda.
  • Fesswise ~ puesto en faja.

Faja ~ fess ~ fesse

The piece «faja» is written in English as «a fess», but it can also be found written with an «e» at the end, or as «fesse», and, as in the previous cases, I have also found it as «party per fesse».

When the charges are placed on a fess, in English it is written as «on a fess», for example «on a fess Azure three garbs Or», which would be said «una faja de azur cargada de tres gavillas de trigo de oro». But I have also seen it written with an «e», such as «on a fesse».

When the «e» is always included in English, it is in the plural of «faja», that is, when it must be translated as «fajas». Thus, for example, «three fesses Gules» is «tres fajas de oro».

Escudo de azur, tres coronas en palo, puestas en banda de oro.

Crown with the main axis being the vertical and central axis of symmetry and which is usually placed palewise. When the crown is placed bendwise it means it is rotated 45 degrees.

In the coats of arms of the members of The Heraldry Society cases of «bendwise» ~ «puesto en banda» can be seen, especially in its «crest» ~ «timbre», for example:

  • Andrew Martin Garvey tiene por armas «Ermine, two chevronels between three crosses formy and conjoined to a bordure Gules» and for crest 2 dolphins one bendwise and the other bend sinisterwise, as described below, «In front of an heraldic dolphin bendwise Sable a like dolphin bend sinisterwise Gules tails enfiling a coronet Or».
  • Christian von Cossel tiene por armas «Per fess Sable and Argent a sword bendwise Gules the blade uppermost enfiled with a coronet Or, impaling Argent an eagle displayed Sable, armed Or; on a plain point Azure a lion's fleece also Or suspended by a chain of three links Gules from an inescutcheon overall tierced in pale Argent, Sable and Gules.».
  • Peter Harling tiene por armas «Gules on a pile reversed Argent, between two garbs Or an owl Proper» and for crest «A Lancashire clog Sable, issuant there from a closed book bendwise Or, edged and garnished gules, charged with a rose of the last barbed and seeded proper».
