Cheshire, visitation of 1613.

Argent, on a bend Azure three garbs Or, bendwise.

Escudo de plata, una banda de azur cargada de tres gavillas de trigo de oro, puestas en banda.

Coat of arms interpreted as follows: with a rounded base; the field and the bend illuminated in Or and Azure; the garbs outlined in Sable and illuminated in Or; and with a leather texture.

A coat of arms recorded in [Armytage, G. J.; Rylands, J. P.; 1909] and in [Goldstraw, M. S. J.; 2013b], blazoned as «Argent, on a bend Azure, three garbs Or».

It is the norm in heraldry that charges upon a bend are arranged bendwise, so since the three garbs are disposed in this way it is possible to omit the expression «bendwise», though it may also be included to avoid any doubt, as I have done in this instance.

Azure, three crowns in bend, palewise Or.

Escudo de azur, tres coronas en banda, puestas en palo de oro.

Although the crowns are placed palewise, their natural position, since they are also along the bend, then specifying in the blazon that they are placed palewise can avoid the error of placing them rotated.

• En banda ~ in bend.
• Puesto en palo ~ palewise.

In the coats of arms of the members of The Heraldry Society, as in many other places, cases of «puesto en palo» ~ «palewise» can be seen, for example:

• Stephen Richard Shires tiene por armas «Gyronny of eight Gules and Vert on a bend Argent between two pairs of keys saltirewise wards upwards and outwards Or a bend Sable charged with three towers palewise masoned in stretcher blocks Argent and header blocks Sable». The natural position of a tower is «puesta en palo», that is, «palewise», but in this case, being charged on a bend, «...a bend Sable charged with three towers...» there might be doubt if its orientation also follows that of the bend, which is why the clarification «palewise» seems most appropriate to me.
• David Boven tiene por armas «Per bend grady Sable and Gules two vines in bend overall a bow palewise all within a bordure Or, for difference».
• «palewise» is also used in the crest, as is the case with John Hamilton Gaylor, who bears the arms «Per fess Argent and Gules a dance flory parted per dance Sable and Argent» and for crest «A demi-griffin Sable armed Or holding a key palewise its wards in chief and to the sinister proper».

This is the coat of arms of the Universidad Peñafort of Mexico. It is a Law university and its name came from Raymond of Penyafort (XIII century) who compiled the Decretals of Gregory IX, which mostly remained in use until 1917, and that is why it is the patron saint of lawyers. The symbols Raymond of Penyafort are a key and a book. This coat of arms has been designed and emblazoned by me.

The name in Latin of Raymond of Penyafort can found written with «nn» and with «ñ». The «ñ» was chosen because is shorter than double «nn» and sounds stronger.
