There are 2 rhombuses in heraldry: the lozenge and the fusil. I like to represent the lozenge, which is a less elongated rhombus than the fusil, as a square with its 2 diagonals placed one vertically and the other horizontally. Lozengy and fusilly consist of filling the entire space with lozenges, in the first case, or with fusils, in the second case, joined 4 by 4 at their corners.

[Avilés, J.; 1780a; page 25] writes «Fusils, Lozenges, and Mascles can be accolados, when they touch with their flanks; and to be so called, the entire Shield must not be filled with these figures, because in that case it would be called Fusilly, or Fuselado and Lozengy.».

In this case, two lozengy schemata of lozenges are presented with their 4 angles at 90^o, the first 5 wide by 6 high, which is exact because the angles are 90^o and it matches the 5x6 dimensions of the coat of arms and the second 6 wide by 7 high, which may be more suitable for shields that resemble the structure of per pale of three.

In [Cadenas y Vicent, V. de; 1987] one can see written both «losange» with «g» and «losanje» with «j», although the occurrences of «losange» with «g» are more than double those of «losanje» with «j».

In [Royal Spanish Academy; 2014] only the term «losange» with «g» is recorded, it says it comes from the French «losange» and defines it as «a rhombus figure placed so that one of the acute angles is at the base and its opposite at the top.».

Classification: Schema.

Comparison between lozengy of 5x6 lozenges and 6x7 lozenges based on the coats of arms of Thomas de Warbrentone and of Pierre de Forcade. It can be observed that, for example, in the case where there is a central pale of Gules, this fits better over the metal Or in the lozengy of smaller lozenges, the 6x7 one, than in the lozengy of larger lozenges, the 5x6 one.

The schema represents a lozengy of 6x5 lozenges in the shape of a rhombus, which is exact, and a fusilly of 6x3 fusils, rhombuses more elongated than the lozenge, which is also exact.
