Nine of my interpretations of the coat of arms of His Majesty King Felipe VI of Spain, together with three constructive diagrams illustrating my execution of this coat of arms, were documented, edited, and printed in book form. Two unique copies were hand-bound in leather, with the cover engraved with this coat of arms. One of them was delivered to the Household of His Majesty, and I received a letter conveying His Majesty the King’s gratitude for my heraldic interpretation of his coat of arms based on the golden ratio.

Example, Uranzu in the volume VI

Volume IV has 454 pages numbered from 1,525 to 1,979. The author states on page 1,526 that in this volume IV, more than in the others, he wished to respect the original wording of the blazons used in his sources and that this volume contains a large number of coats of arms of «Basque and Navarrese surnames», many of which begin with the letter U.

Among those beginning with the letter U, I would like to present the example of «Uranzu», for which Vicente de Cadenas describes five blazons on pages 1,726 and 1,728. The fourth blazoned coat of arms is as follows; note that I have attempted to simplify the wording (the five original blazons can be seen in the previous figure):

Although I am not sure of the reality of this coat of arms, I have made a) in Spanish a simplification and b) its translation in parallel to English. I assume that in the 2^nd flag the Fleurs de lis in triangle are 3 and they are ordered. Although I am not sure of the reality of this busy coat of arms, I can't found a painted version, I have made a) a simplification of its Spanish blazon and b) its translation in parallel to English. I assume that in the 2^nd flag the Fleurs de lis in triangle are 3 and they are ordered. The colors of the text in the images lets an easy reading and show the blazon structure. There are in this coat of arms 1+9+7+5+1 = 23 ships.

Currently the National Institute of Statistics of Spain (I. N. E.), about the surname «Uranzu» answer that «there are no inhabitants with the surname consulted», neither 1^st nor 2^nd surname, «or its frequency is less than 5 for the national total».

The physical copy in my possession originates from the personal library of Anthony Wood, one of the illustrators of the work, as evidenced by his ex libris. His library was offered for sale by R. G. Watkins Books and Prints, Somerset, from which I personally acquired a small, selected group of heraldry and heraldic art books.

This book is a comprehensive dictionary that explains the meanings of many heraldic symbols and discusses aspects of the history of heraldry. Stephen Friar, Director of The Society of Heraldic Arts, compiled this work with contributions from renowned heraldic illustrators. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in heraldry, providing detailed descriptions and illustrations of heraldic terms and symbols.

José Manuel Huidobro Moya, «La Heráldica Desconocida», 332 pages, Vision Libros, ISBN-13 978-8410039704, Madrid, May 9, 2024.

I’m currently enjoying reading «La Heráldica Desconocida» by José Manuel Huidobro Moya. It’s a remarkable exploration of how heraldry, far from being outdated, remains a relevant and dynamic art form today. The author masterfully delves into the unexpected uses of heraldry in modern society, from luxury brands to institutions, proving that heraldry is still very much alive and ever-evolving. Highly recommended for anyone passionate about history, design, and the lasting significance of heraldry.

I am honored that my interpretation of the coat of arms of the Universidad de Politécnica de Madrid has been included on page 231 of this book. It is a privilege to have made my small contribution to this a meaningful work.
