Coat of arms interpreted as follows: the mouth is rounded; the field is illuminated in Gules; the chevron is outlined in Sable and illuminated in Argent metal; the roses outlined in Sable are illuminated the petals in Gules, the leaves in Vert and the central button in Or; and the whole has a parchment finish.

Robert Knolles participated in the Hundred Years' War, on the side of England, and in 1367, he was with Edward of Woodstock, the Black Prince, at the Battle of Nájera.

In the Battle of Nájera, on the way to Navarrete, Pedro I of Castile, with direct English support, and his half-brother Don Enrique de Trastámara, with indirect French support, faced each other. English and French hoped that supporting their side's victory would allow them to have the Castilian fleet on their side, which was more powerful than theirs, in their Hundred Years' War.

Triangulacion 20 TrazoAlzado jpg

Chapé, embrassé, chaussé, and contre-embrassé.

There are 4 figures based on a triangle that, following the direction of the clock hands, have the following characteristics:

Chapé

The point of the central isosceles triangle is in the chief of the shield, like the clock hand pointing to 12:00, the base of the triangle is in the point of the shield. The field is the interior of this central isosceles triangle and its 2 adjacent right triangles are the charges. In the coat of arms for the triangulation that illustrates this article, the 6th quarter is chapé, its field is in plain tincture Vert and its 2 charges are illuminated in the metal Or, which is blazoned as «6 Vert, chapé Or».

Embrassé

The point of the central isosceles triangle is in the sinister of the shield, like the clock hand pointing to 3:00, the base of the triangle is in the dexter of the shield. The field is the interior of this central isosceles triangle and its 2 adjacent right triangles are the charges. In the coat of arms for the triangulation that illustrates this article, the 5th quarter is embrassé, its field is in plain tincture Azure and its 2 charges are illuminated in the metal Or, which is blazoned as «5 Azure, embrassé Or».

Chaussé

The point of the central isosceles triangle is in the point of the shield, like the clock hand pointing to 6:00, the base of the triangle is in the chief of the shield. The field is the interior of this central isosceles triangle and its 2 adjacent right triangles are the charges. In the coat of arms for the triangulation that illustrates this article, the 1st quarter is chaussé, its field is in plain tincture Vert and its 2 charges are illuminated in the metal Or, which is blazoned as «1 Vert, chaussé Or».

Contre-embrassé

The point of the central isosceles triangle is in the dexter of the shield, like the clock hand pointing to 9:00, the base of the triangle is in the sinister of the shield. The field is the interior of this central isosceles triangle and its 2 adjacent right triangles are the charges. In the coat of arms for the triangulation that illustrates this article, the 2nd quarter is contre-embrassé, its field is in plain tincture Azure and its 2 charges are illuminated in the metal Or, which is blazoned as «2 Azure, contre-embrassé Or».
