Quarterly Azure and Gules; overall a leopard face, crowned Or, langued Gules, within a tressure flory Or. Motto: «Entalente a parler d'armes».

Escudo cuartelado de azur y gules; brochante sobre el todo, una cabeza de leopardo coronada de oro, lampasada de gules, dentro de un trechor flordelisado de oro. Lema: «Entalente a parler d'armes».

The official blazon of this coat of arms is «Quarterly Azure and Gules a lion’s face crowned with an Ancient Crown Or within a tressure flory on the outer edge of the same». The following are my comments to the official blazon:

  • With «crowned» can be assumed the common default «crowned with an ancient crown».
  • With «tressure flory» can be assumed the common default «tressure flory on the outer edge».
  • I use to specify the «langued», for example Gules or Azure, because I think there is not a common default tincture for «langued» in all heraldic traditions.
  • The use of «overall» can help to understand the blazon, then I add it.

Blazon keywords: Quarterly, Azure, Gules, Overall, Head, Leopard, Crowned, Or, Langued, Within, Tressure, Flory and Motto.

Style keywords: Pointed, Illuminated, Outlined in sable, Shaded and Freehand.

Annual Heraldry Ireland Lecture by Martin Goldstraw

As the Honorary Herald of the Genealogical Society of Ireland, I have cohosted alongside Laura Price, MGSI, the Annual Heraldry Ireland Lecture by Martin S. J. Goldstraw, director of The Armorial Register.

Martin Goldstraw, Annual Heraldry Ireland Lecture

Introduction to the speaker and his lecture

Welcome to the Genealogical Society of Ireland's Annual Heraldry Ireland Lecture, «Do It Yourself Heraldry - The Design, Assumption, and Registration of Armorial Bearings» presented by Mr. Martin Goldstraw of the Armorial Register.

In many countries around the world, such as Ireland, the United States, Italy, and Spain, citizens are free to assume their own coat of arms. There are usually few restrictions on assuming a coat of arms, for example, the design must follow the rules of heraldry, one cannot copy another person's coat of arms, or it cannot contain illegal symbols in that country.

Thanks to this, we can all have our own coat of arms, allowing us to use the symbolic and communicative power of heraldry to identify and empower ourselves. In this way, many people around the world, of all ages and backgrounds, assume their coat of arms, and this is happening with a growing trend due to the spread of heraldry through the internet and social networks.

The heraldry, which has distilled a written and artistic language over centuries that allows us to project our identity with prestige, clarity, universality, and permanence, reaches us in this third millennium full of strength and freshness, and, therefore, the assumption of a coat of arms uses to be a source of joy for individuals and their families.

Today, on May 9th, we celebrate Peace and Unity Day in Europe, and we have chosen this day because heraldry is a common heritage of all Europeans, which we have taken with us around the world and that especially unites us. This is because there is more visual and spoken proximity between the painted and written blazons of European countries than between their own languages, such as French, English, Spanish, Italian... for example, notice the closeness between «d'or, au lion rampant de gueules», «Or, a lion rampant Gules», «de oro, un león rampante de gules», «d'oro, al leone rampante di rosso»,... and we will all see the same: a red lion, rising and roaring on a golden field.

And now, without further ado, let us introduce our magnificent guest for this very special day: Mr. Martin Goldstraw is the author and illustrator of the Cheshire Heraldry website and the books Cheshire Heraldry, The Visitations of 1533 to 1580. He is also one of the two Directors and a founder of the publishing company The Armorial Register Ltd. And his lectures are engaging and highly informative.
