A lozenge Or, charged with a fox rampant, guardant, holding in its dexter paw a federschwert bend sinisterwise proper, within a bordure Vert.

Heraldic device painted by me, illuminated with lights and shadows, outlined in Sable, and with a rough finish.

Heraldic badge of Jason Landers Northam from Illinois, emblazoned by me. The federschwert, feder sword, or «feather sword» translated from German, is a training sword developed in the late 15^th century and used during the 16^th century in Renaissance fencing schools. Its design allowed safe and realistic practice, reducing the risk of serious injuries while preserving the handling of a real sword. Today it remains in use within Historical European Martial Arts, combining historical fidelity with safety.

Escudo de gules, un carbunclo cerrado, pomelado de oro; cargado en el centro de una esmeralda en forma de losange de sinople.

The armorial [Urfé; 15^th century] contains only blazons written in French and is not decorated with shields.

The image shows my interpretation of the arms and, beneath it, the blazon of the king of Navarre as follows «Le Roy de Navarre... de gueles à l'escarboucle d'or pommelée alumée de sinoble en la moyenne en guise d'esmeraude» which could be translated as «The King of Navarre... Gules, a carbuncle Or pommetty, illuminated Vert in the middle in the manner of an emerald».

Note that the blazon does not suggest the presence of an emerald, but that the place corresponding to the central boss of the shield, from which the rays of the carbuncle emerge, is enamelled Vert.

In the article Universitas Studiorum Navarrensis about the arms of the University of Navarre I interpret the arms of Navarre borne in profile by the Archangel Saint Michael, which, by my way of painting it, lies halfway between the carbuncle and the chains, with round chain links and long carbuncle rays, where at the centre there is no emerald, but a Vert enamel in the manner of an emerald.

Juan del Bosque, «Libro de Armería del Reino de Navarra», which is currently missing and whose subsequent copy, commissioned in 1572, is kept in the Royal and General Archive of Navarre, estimated year of creation 1540.

The origin of this armorial dates back to 1527, when the Navarrese Courts requested that the Royal Council and the Chamber of Comptos ~ Chamber of Accounts and Fiscal Control, record in a book the coats of arms of the kingdom of Navarre starting with that of the king of Navarre and the houses and lineages of the so-called «ricoshombres», Almorrabides, Guebara, Aybar, Baztanes, Urroz, Lete, Subiça, Rada, Vidaurre, Qasqante, Monteagudo, and Mauleón, also including the coats of arms of other manors, houses, valleys, towns, and nobles [Valverde Ogallar, P. B.; 2001; page 326].

According to [Martinena Ruiz, J. J.; 1982; page 35] the book was compiled around the year 1540, and this is the date I use for referencing this armorial.

This first manuscript created by Juan del Bosque was taken by the royal visitor Hernán Suárez de Toledo, under the pretext of taking it to Emperor Charles V, despite being requested back by the Navarrese Courts, it was never returned and was definitively lost. The armorial that has come down to us is a recreation commissioned in 1572 [Valverde Ogallar, P. B.; 2001; page 327].

According to [Menéndez Pidal de Navascués, F.; 1974; page 19] the recreation of this armorial was carried out based on certifications, such as those from the herald Azcárraga, and notes and partial copies of the stolen book, like the copy kept in the monastery of Leyre.

Another noteworthy bibliographic reference about this armorial, in addition to those previously mentioned, is [Martinena Ruiz, J. J.; Menéndez Pidal de Navascués, F.; 2001].

The image illustrating this bibliographic reference is the coat of arms of the king of Navarre, which I recreated based on the illustration in this armorial, on its first folio according to the numbering given to it in 1613.

There are 2 rhombuses in heraldry: the lozenge and the fusil. I like to represent the lozenge, which is a less elongated rhombus than the fusil, as a square with its 2 diagonals placed one vertically and the other horizontally. Lozengy and fusilly consist of filling the entire space with lozenges, in the first case, or with fusils, in the second case, joined 4 by 4 at their corners.

[Avilés, J.; 1780a; page 25] writes «Fusils, Lozenges, and Mascles can be accolados, when they touch with their flanks; and to be so called, the entire Shield must not be filled with these figures, because in that case it would be called Fusilly, or Fuselado and Lozengy.».

In this case, two lozengy schemata of lozenges are presented with their 4 angles at 90^o, the first 5 wide by 6 high, which is exact because the angles are 90^o and it matches the 5x6 dimensions of the coat of arms and the second 6 wide by 7 high, which may be more suitable for shields that resemble the structure of per pale of three.

In [Cadenas y Vicent, V. de; 1987] one can see written both «losange» with «g» and «losanje» with «j», although the occurrences of «losange» with «g» are more than double those of «losanje» with «j».

In [Royal Spanish Academy; 2014] only the term «losange» with «g» is recorded, it says it comes from the French «losange» and defines it as «a rhombus figure placed so that one of the acute angles is at the base and its opposite at the top.».

The schema represents a lozengy of 6x5 lozenges in the shape of a rhombus, which is exact, and a fusilly of 6x3 fusils, rhombuses more elongated than the lozenge, which is also exact.

Comparison between lozengy of 5x6 lozenges and 6x7 lozenges based on the coats of arms of Thomas de Warbrentone and of Pierre de Forcade. It can be observed that, for example, in the case where there is a central pale of Gules, this fits better over the metal Or in the lozengy of smaller lozenges, the 6x7 one, than in the lozengy of larger lozenges, the 5x6 one.
