Arm

Paly of six Gules and Argent; overall, a fess Or charged with a lance Gules. Crest: Upon a helm with a wreath Argent and Gules, an arm vambraced, bendwise Argent, grasping, bend sinisterwise, a bow Gules, cord Or, and an arrow point sinister Argent. Mantling: Gules doubled Argent. Motto: «Inter Primos».

Coat of arms interpreted by me, highlighted with lights and shadows, contoured in Sable, with a chasuble external shape and with a freehand finishing.

Canting arms of Rex Lancefield emblazoned by me under the directions of his descendant Erik Paul Arnelien. My interpretation is based on a painting of this coat of arms, c. XIX, somewhat deteriorated by handling and the passage of time and also includes two Nordic scrolls, one on each side. I consider these two Nordic scrolls on either side of the coat of arms an external decoration as an artistic detail; therefore, they are not part of the blazon of the arms.

This is the coat of arms of Johann Anton Freiherr von Quast. The image above shows the historical illustration as it appears in the «Freiherren-Diploma Johann Anton Freiherr von Quast, 1790, Bayerisches Hauptstaatsarchiv, Königlich-Bayerisches Heroldsamt, Bd. 20-1 nr. 26, Opvallend zijn de onmiskenbare verwijzingen naar het verblijf in de West», which can be consulted on the website juchtervanbergenquast.wordpress.com and below is my current interpretation of this coat of arms. In heraldry there are two kinds of tinctures: colours, for example Gules, Azure, and Sable, and metals, Or and Argent. There is also a heraldic rule of tinctures that states not colour on colour and not metal on metal. The vambraced arm was originally Azure over a Gules field, which is colour on colour and against the rule. I corrected it with the family’s permission by changing the vambraced arm to Argent, so now it is metal Argent on colour Gules, which is correct, and Argent is a good tincture for armory. For this reason, I also used Argent for the helm and for the tips of the tournament spear. The flags also show colour on colour, but they are decorative details and not important, and changing their colours would alter the ship’s nationality, which must remain as it is. It is possible that the Azure we now see originated from the fact that the arm vambraced , the spearheads, and the helm were originally depicted as iron or proper and that over the course of time this natural greyish tone gradually turned into Azure.

This is the coat of arms of Johann Anton Freiherr von Quast that was painted in the Freiherren diploma that was issued in 1790. I have written the text of the blazon for this coat of arms in English and in Castilian in a structured way, to highlight the parallelism between both forms.

Coat of arms painted by me, highlighted with lights and shadows, contoured in Sable, with an ogee external shape and with a leather finishing.

Coat of arms of the Infante Manuel of Castile, 1234–1283, 7^th son of the King Ferdinand III of Castile, 1199-1252, and the Queen Beatrice of Swabia, 1205–1235. They are canting arms of «Manuel» ~ «manu–el» ~ «mano–ala» ~ «hand–wing». For this reason, I describe it as a hand with a wing and not as a wing with a hand. Another theory suggests that, since his maternal grandmother was Irene Ángelo, daughter of the Byzantine Emperor Isaac II Angelos, the 2^nd and 3^rd quarters derive from this lineage. However, this Byzantine emperor did not have a coat of arms in the Western heraldic sense, let alone one featuring an angel's wing wielding a sword. A synthetic theory could be proposed, combining the concept of canting arms with angelic symbolism, referencing his descent from the emperors of Byzantium, something that was undoubtedly of great importance to him. There are explanations about this in [Menéndez Pidal de Navascués, F.; 1982, pages 98-100]. And what's more important, they are not a quartering by inheritance; quarters 2^nd and 3^rd are inherited, but quarters 1^st and 4^th are conceptually invented, which opens up the creative field.
