Triangulation

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 6^th 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 5^th 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 1^st 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 2^nd 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».

[Avilés, J.; 1725a; pages 47 and 48] tells us about the chaussé that «se entiende cuando el Escudo está dividido en forma de Chevron ranversado», that is, inverted, «de modo, que llegue con su punta a lo bajo de la del Escudo, y las piezas, que le acompañan, hacen la acción de calzar, subiendo de lo bajo a lo alto; de cuya forma toma el nombre, suponiéndole siempre por campo el espacio, que hay entre las dos líneas de dichas piezas» and gives as an example Pomponne in Burgundy whose coat of arms is «de plata, calzado de gules» which is shown in [Avilés, J.; 1725a; ilustración 78].

Imaginary coat of arms created for artistic purposes with: a rounded base; the fields enameled with plain tinctures Or and Azure; its charges, that is, those by whose action the embrassé, chaussé, chapé, and contre-embrassé are formed, illuminated in Or and Azure and outlined in Sable; and the shield has received a beaten metal finish.

In [Avilés, J.; 1725a; page 68] the embrassé is explained, reminding us that the field is what remains inside the 2 charges, upper and lower, that accompany it. In the embrassé, the charges enter from the sinister, leaving their points on the dexter of the shield as shown in [Avilés, J.; 1725a; ilustración 150].

Opposite to this embrassé to the sinister, [Avilés, J.; 1725a; page 69] calls the contre-embrassé simply as «embrazado a la diestra».

«Embrazado a la diestra» is how [Avilés, J.; 1725a; page 69] names the contre-embrassé, since the two charges, one upper and one lower, enter from the dexter of the shield, leaving their points in the sinister. It must be kept in mind that what remains between both charges is the field.
