The first owner of this armorial was Archduke Albert VI of Austria. Hans Ingeram included in each page of his book from 1 to 6 coats of arms, he dedicated the initial part to the Habsburg coats of arms, to imaginary coats of arms and to the coats of arms of European kingdoms, generally using 4 coats of arms per page, and dedicated the final 2/3 of its content to depicting 6 coats of arms per page of the lower German nobility, especially nobles belonging to a special type of «associations» whose purpose was the organization of tournaments. A monograph on this armorial can be consulted in [Becher, C.; Gamber, O.; 1986].

Banner Quarterly: 1 and 4 Azure, three fleurs de lis Or; 2 and 3 Gules, three lions, passant, guardant, in pale Or, armed and langued Azure.

Pendón cuartelado: 1^o y 4^o de azur, tres flores de lis de oro; 2^o y 3^o de gules, tres leopardos en palo de oro, armados y lampasados de azur.

Banner interpreted by me as follows: with the proportions of 5x6, like a shield; the field is coloured in flat tinctures Gules and Azure; the fleurs-de-lis and the leopards are outlined in Sable and illuminated in Or; and the banner’s finish resembles fabric.

Its design follows [Edward IV of England; 1461; row 27, 2^nd column, final banner]:

• which represents what are considered «the royal arms of England»,
• which were also borne by Henry V of England,
• which Henry VI of England placed in the 2^nd quarter of a per pale shield, where he set those of France in the 1^st, and
• which were restored by Henry IV, as shown here.

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.

Pendón cuartelado de dieciseis: 1^o, 6^o, 11^o y 16^o de azur, tres flores de lis de oro; 2^o, 5^o, 12^o y 15^o de gules, tres leopardos en palo de oro, armados y lampasados de azur; 3^o, 8^o, 9^o y 14^o de gules, un castillo de oro, aclarado de azur, mazonado de sable; 4^o, 7^o, 10^o y 13^o de plata, un león rampante de púrpura, armado y lampasado de gules, coronado de oro.

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, 1^st 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.

Banner interpreted as follows: with the 5x6 proportions of a shield; the field, including that of the escutcheon, is enamelled with flat tinctures Gules and Azure; the crowns, castles, fleurs-de-lis, and leopards are outlined in Sable; except the lions, which are outlined in their field; and the whole composition is watercoloured.

In the armorial [Edward IV of England; 1461; row 27, 1^st column, final banner], these arms appear twice:

• At the beginning, in the equestrian portrait of Edward IV, on the caparison of his horse.
• In the final banner held by Edward IV’s personal badge, a «White Lion of March».

Outlines and proportions of a flanched design at one-third.

This is my standardized way of delineating curved flanches, so that they remain tangent to a pale and, therefore, the width of both curved flanches and the space between them is equal to one third of the base. Some draw the flanches using circles, but I believe they look better as two half-ovals, which together would form a complete oval, with the height equal to that of the shield and the width two thirds of the base of the shield, that is, one third for each of the flanches, as in the figures illustrating this article. However, it should be noted that, depending on the charges, the separation distance may be adjusted.

Types of flanched designs

The «flanqueado curvo» corresponds to «flanched» in English, since for them the curved form is the default. [Avilés, J.; 1725b; page 92, figure 197] calls it «flanqueado en óvalo».

The «flanqueado apuntado» formed by 2 opposed triangles I call «pointed flanched» in English, as I have not found a better term. [Avilés, J.; 1725b; page 92, figure 198] calls it «flanqueado en sotuer», but what he draws in his book actually corresponds to a «cuartelado en sotuer» since the two points of the flanking meet at the center of the coat of arms.

«Flanqueado» without adjectives corresponds in Castilian to an «adiestrado» as opposed to a «siniestrado», and I refer to it in English as «flanked by two pales» having found no better translation.
