The coat of arms of family of Lucas Cruz (UK, Puerto Rico, Belarus, US Army) designed by him and me and emblazoned by me. This photograph shows my hand-drawn lynx couchant alongside the coat of arms in which it is used as a crest. The lynx couchant was drawn directly in ink on tracing paper using a fine technical pen and long, continuous strokes, without any preliminary pencil sketch, repeating the design as many times as necessary until the desired result was achieved. The image shows an initial tracing on tracing paper with a second, more refined tracing superimposed over it; this version was later refined a third time digitally, as can be seen in the final rendering of the coat of arms.

William Shakespeare, «Coriolanus», Tragedy in 5 acts and 29 scenes, written in verse, dated to either 1608 or 1609, depending on the sources.

---

It is one of the last works written by William Shakespeare, a tragedy based on the life of Caius Marcius Coriolanus, a legendary Roman general from the 5^th century B.C. Some authors consider General Coriolanus to be a historical figure, while others do not.

Initially known only as Caius Marcius, during the war against the Volsci he becomes a hero by entering the city of Corioli with a few soldiers, and from then on, he is called Caius Marcius Coriolanus.

Bibliographical reference of century XVII.

The author is Shakespeare, William.

Emblem Azure, Saint Michael Argent, vested and nimbed Or, grasping in his dexter hand a spear Or, point downward, and in his sinister hand bearing [ Gules, a chain orlewise, crosswise, and saltirewise Or, charged in the fess point with an emerald Vert, of Navarre ], upon a dragon Vert, armed, langued, fanged, and the eyes Gules.

Emblema de azur, un San Miguel de plata, vestido y nimbado de oro, teniendo en su diestra una lanza de oro, con la punta hacia abajo y en su siniestra trae [ escudo gules, una cadena puesta en orla, en cruz y en sotuer de oro, cargada en el centro de una esmeralda de sinople, de Navarra ], sostenido por un dragón de sinople, armado, lampasado, fierezado y encendido de gules.

Emblem interpreted by me as follows: an oval shape with proportions 5x6, wider than the original; the field illuminated in Azure; its charges outlined in Sable and illuminated in the colours Gules and Vert and the metals Argent and Or; the Archangel Saint Michael vested in Or, unlike others who appear in Argent; his emerald simplified into an area enameled Vert; and the whole emblem has a lightly beaten metal finish.

Due to its special characteristics, the difficulty in complying with the first rule of heraldry concerning metals and colours, and out of prudence, I categorize it as an emblem rather than a shield.

In a relief of the Church of Saint Michael the Archangel in Estella, Saint Michael can be seen fighting a dragon that represents the devil, in a similar but mirrored arrangement to that of this emblem. In that relief, the Archangel Saint Michael bears a pre-heraldic shield with its umbo. According to [Menéndez Pidal de Navascués, F.; 1963], the umbo of the shield is a reinforcing element that is the predecessor of what would later become the pommelly carbuncle of the shield of the Kingdom of Navarre.

Or, on a bend Sable, a spear of the first, steeled Argent.

Escudo de oro, una banda de sable, cargada de una lanza de plata, fustada oro.

Coat of arms interpreted by me with: a semicircular (round) base; the field and bend illuminated in Or and Sable; the lance is a tournament one, similar to other Shakespeare coats of arms, which I have illuminated in Argent and Or and outlined from the field; and finished with a lightly hammered metal effect.

In this version of his blazon in English I have written «steeled Argent», which is how some authors write it, while in another article I have specified it as «headed Argent».

In the figure that is charged upon the bend of this interpretation of the shield, I recreate a tournament lance, which is the type usually used to represent the arms of William Shakespeare. Note that the blazon of his shield only indicates «a Spear» ~ «una lanza», so it could equally be the type of lance used by infantry or light cavalry. However, English tradition usually employs, for William Shakespeare, a tournament lance, both for the one charged on the bend and for the one held by the falcon on his crest.
