There are several methods to draw a pointed coat of arms, for example, the method of [The Heraldry Society; 2013; page 7]. There are also several pointed coat of arms with the ratio 5/6 between its width b and its height h.

The previous illustation shows my method to draw a 5/6 pointed coat of arms. The center Cd of the dexter arc is 17h/36 = 17b/30 from the top of the shield and its radious is 13h/24 = 13b/20, or what is the same, its diameter is 13h/12 = 13b/10.

The position of the Cs of the sinister arc and its construction is symmetric to the dexter arc with respect to the vertical axis, as shown in the following illustration.

There is a series of nine coats of arms in the ballroom of the castle:

• Or, three Fleurs de lis Azure.
• Azure, a Bendsinister Or.
• Or, a Fleur de lis Azure.
• Azure, a Cross Or.
• Or, five Fleur de lis Azure in saltire.
• Azure, a Fess Or.
• Or, two Fleur de lis Azure in bend.
• Azure, a Saltire Or.
• Or, four Fleur de lis Azure.

There are so many Fleurs de lis that everyone, except the joker, calls it the «fleurdelisée» room. Nobody knows the reason why the joker says there is none, do you?
