Coat of arms interpreted as follows: the top of the shield is pointed; its field has been painted in flat Or; its fesses have been outlined in Sable and illuminated in Gules; and the whole set has a pearly finish.

Lauria, Roger de
Admiral of the Fleet of the Crown of Aragon.
Argent, three bendlets sinister Azure.
Escudo de plata, tres barras de azur.
Coat of arms interpreted by me with: a pointed and rounded shape; its bends sinister with a slope corresponding to the 5x6 proportion, distributed evenly along the entire dexter diagonal of the rectangle in which the coat of arms is inscribed; the field in plain Argent tincture; the bends sinister illuminated in Azure and outlined in Sable; and the whole with a rough finish.
Initially, I had blazoned it in English as «Bendy sinister of seven Argent and Azure», but in a conversation on a forum of The International Heraldry Society, it was pointed out to me that in the case of an odd number of bands or bends, it should not be blazoned as «bendy». Therefore, the English blazon is equivalent to the Spanish blazon «Argent, three bendlets sinister Azure».
Blazon keywords: Without divisions, Argent, Azure and Bend sinister.
Style keywords: Ogee, Illuminated, Outlined in sable and Rough.
Classification: Interpreted, Personal and Army and Navy.
Bearer: Lauria, Roger de.
