Escudo de Castilla y León

André, lineage of France

Gules, a millstone Or.

Blazon of the André lineage of France.

Gules, a millstone Or.

Escudo de gules, una piedra de molino de oro.

Illuminated and a watercolor finishing with shadow in the hole.

For its better identification, I have painted the millstone with the ring that fixes it to its axis. This ring is called a millrind, it is made of iron, and usually has 4 arms to better fix the millstone. Millrinds may appear on coats of arms independently of millstones. Another heraldic element related to the previous ones is the millwheel, which is a toothed gear that is part of the mill mechanism but should not be confused with the millstone that grinds the grain.


Blazon keywords: Without divisions, Gules, One, Millstone and Or.

Style keywords: Watercolor, Outlined in sable, Illuminated and Semi-circular.

Classification: Interpreted, Lineage and Kingdom of France.

The coat of arms of Rodelo lineage from Galicia outlined

Gules, six wagon-wheels Or, 2, 2, and 2.

Gules, six wagon-wheels Or, 2, 2, and 2.

A wagon-wheel is an outer circle of iron, with an inner circle of wood and spokes also of wood, then the wagon-wheel proper has the color of the wood.

The number of spokes could be specified in the blazon, but most of the time it is left to the license of the artist, 6, 8, I like to paint more, for example, 12.

Gules, six wagon-wheels Or, 2, 2, and 2.

Escudo de gules, seis ruedas de carro de oro, 3 y 3.

I have always thought that they are canting arms because of the similar sounds between «rodelo», «rodar»~«rolling», and «rueda»~«wheel».

Escudo de gules, seis ruedas de carro de oro, 3 y 3.

Another alternative way of writing this same blazon is the following: «Gules, six wagon-wheels Or, arranged in two pallets».

Supporters with human forms from the city of Ubeda

TenantesUbeda 21 Ubeda Photos jpg

Selection of photos of supporters with human forms from the city of Ubeda, Jaen, Andalusia.

In international heraldry groups, I often notice that tenantes are discussed almost as a heraldic rarity, something very uncommon, reserved only for certain types of corporations or high-ranking individuals. This can be seen, for example, in phrases like «tenant is not a heraldic term, whereas supporter is» or humorous expressions such as «I do have tenants, they pay me rent» or «our tenants living on our land and who pay us rent do not wear our badges».

Therefore, to spread the idea that tenantes are not uncommon in Castilian heraldry, I thought a good image would be worth a thousand words. So, I created a montage of images from Úbeda alone and published it with the phrase «This is a selection of tenants photos from only one single city, Úbeda, Jaén, Andalusia», and I am sure that there are even more tenantes in Úbeda.
