Inescutcheon with the arms of Brutus of Britain

On an inescutcheon Azure, three crowns in bend, bendwise Or.

Escusón de azur, tres coronas en banda, puestas en banda de oro.

Coat of arms interpreted by me as follows: the field is enameled in plain Azure ink; the three crowns are outlined in Sable, illuminated in Or and shaded; and the imaginary shield has a crystalline finish.

Construction process of the inescutcheon of the banner with the inescutcheon of Edward IV from the coat of arms of Brutus of Britain.

When to specify «en» and when «puesto en» when writing a blazon? In the following articles I try to explain the criterion I follow, and illustrate it with an example, in many of the possible variants.

In Spanish

In English

Azure, three crowns in bend, bendwise Or.

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

Crown with the main axis being the vertical and central axis of symmetry and which is usually placed palewise. This shield is the imaginary coat of arms of Brutus of Britain, an imaginary character, hero of Troy and founder of Britain.

• En banda ~ in bend.
• Puesto en banda ~ bendwise.

Azure, three crowns in bend, palewise Or.

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

Although the crowns are placed palewise, their natural position, since they are also along the bend, then specifying in the blazon that they are placed palewise can avoid the error of placing them rotated.

• En banda ~ in bend.
• Puesto en palo ~ palewise.

In the coats of arms of the members of The Heraldry Society, as in many other places, cases of «puesto en palo» ~ «palewise» can be seen, for example:

• Stephen Richard Shires tiene por armas «Gyronny of eight Gules and Vert on a bend Argent between two pairs of keys saltirewise wards upwards and outwards Or a bend Sable charged with three towers palewise masoned in stretcher blocks Argent and header blocks Sable». The natural position of a tower is «puesta en palo», that is, «palewise», but in this case, being charged on a bend, «...a bend Sable charged with three towers...» there might be doubt if its orientation also follows that of the bend, which is why the clarification «palewise» seems most appropriate to me.
• David Boven tiene por armas «Per bend grady Sable and Gules two vines in bend overall a bow palewise all within a bordure Or, for difference».
• «palewise» is also used in the crest, as is the case with John Hamilton Gaylor, who bears the arms «Per fess Argent and Gules a dance flory parted per dance Sable and Argent» and for crest «A demi-griffin Sable armed Or holding a key palewise its wards in chief and to the sinister proper».

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».

Azure, three crowns in bend sinister, palewise Or.

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

Since the crowns are in bend sinister and the main axis of the crown is vertical, they are naturally placed palewise, but in this case, being in bend sinister, I prefer to specify it in the blazon.

• In bend sinister ~ en barra.
• Palewise ~ Puesto en palo.
