Holy Trinity

Azure, a pall couped Argent, its three arms charged with «es» Sable, within a triangle reversed Argent, its three arms charged with «no es» Sable, within an annulet Or, all debruised by four plates, three on the vertex of the triangle, in dexter chief, charged with «el Padre» Sable, in sinister chief, charged with «el Hijo» Sable, in base, charged with «el Espítiru» Sable, and one on the fess point, charged with «Dios» Sable.

Azure, a pall couped Argent, its three arms charged with «es» Sable, within a triangle reversed Argent, its three arms charged with «no es» Sable, within an annulet Or, all debruised by four plates, three on the vertex of the triangle, in dexter chief, charged with «el Padre» Sable, in sinister chief, charged with «el Hijo» Sable, in base, charged with «el Espítiru» Sable, and one on the fess point, charged with «Dios» Sable.

Escudo de azur, una perla recortada de plata, sus tres brazos cargados con «es» de sable, dentro de un triángulo ranversado de plata, sus tres brazos cargados con «no es» de sable, dentro de un anillo de oro, todo resaltado de cuatro bezantes de plata, tres sobre los vértices del triángulo, en la diestra del jefe, cargado de «el Padre» de sable, en la siniestra del jefe, cargado con «el Hijo» de sable, en la punta, cargado con «el Espítiru» de sable y uno sobre el corazón, cargado con «Dios» de sable.

Imaginary coat of arms that I have interpreted as follows: its base is semicircular (round); its field is illuminated in watercolor Azure; the rest in heavily beaten metal, outlined of the field and illuminated in Argent, except for the annulet which is illuminated in Or; and its letters all in plain Gules ink.

Annulet

The circular crown when it is large and in the middle of the shield [Cadenas y Vicent, V. de; 1975] is called an annulet. [Avilés, J.; 1780a; pages 296 and 297] calls it annulet or small annulet depending on its size, if it is large an annulet and if it is small a small annulet. In English and French heraldry it is called «cyclamor» and hence the expression «cyclamor annulet» can also be found.

This annulet is my aesthetic contribution to this imaginary coat of arms as it is normally not represented with this annulet.

Bordure and Orle

In other interpretations the words «non est» go on a bordure or on an orle, the latter being the case blazoned, for example, [Husenbeth, F. C.; 1882; 2nd appendix] in the following way: «Gules, an orle and pall Argent, conjoined and surmounted of four plates, occupying the dexter and sinister chief and the base and fess points respectively; the first inscribed Pater, the second Filius, and the third Spiritus Sanctus, the centre Deus; the connecting portions of the orle between them having the words non est, and those of the pall est».

Jesus Christ, preparation schema

Schema for an imaginary coat of arms that will have the following characteristics: its base will be semicircular (round); it will contain a closed pearl charged with four bezants; and it will be differenced by a label of three points, which being three is normal, its number will not be specified in the blazon.

Label

The way to elaborate a label can be found in [Avilés, J.; 1780a; page 248] who writes that «it is made of a fillet, which is the ninth part of the latitude of the Chief with three points in the form of a Carpenter's wedge, or of badly formed triangles, which united to it without separation of lines, fall twice as much, as the fillet is wide, the two being placed at its ends, and one in its middle, its ordinary situation being in the middle of the length of the Chief itself, without reaching the edges of the Shield».

Label points

In [Avilés, J.; 1780a; pages 248 and 249] it is said that «the simple Label is always of three points», as is the case at hand, «but having 4, 5, or 6, which is the greatest number found, it is necessary to specify it», although in [Avilés, J.; 1780a; page 114] he seems to consider that the maximum is five as he writes «Points, it is said of three, four and up to five points of the Labels».

Latidos Podencos

Gules: a warren hound parado statant Or; a base hearty Or.

Gules: a warren hound parado statant Or; a base hearty Or.

Escudo de gules: un podenco parado de oro; la campaña encajada de corazones de oro.

Coat of arms that I have created with: the shield’s shape pointed and rounded; its field painted in flat tint gules; the warren hound and the base hearty are illuminated Or and delineated Sable; and the whole is executed in raised-line drawing.

Symbolism

A base made of generous hearts Or, interlocked with hearts Gules, red as blood, gives its support to a Spanish warren hound standing upon it. They are the hearts of those who love, protect and care for the hounds, intertwined with the hearts of the hounds whose noble heartbeats are evoked in the motto.

The founders of this Spanish warren hound shelter did not wish for a dog armed and langued, since those heraldic attributes would imply that the animal is not truly in need of protection. They preferred instead to highlight the podenco’s loyalty and faithfulness.

Types of lines of division

In English heraldry, ordinary lines of partition such as «almenado» ~ «embattled», «acanalado» ~ «invected», or «angrelado» ~ «engrailed» have well-established names. There is, however, no general rule for blazoning lines formed by repeated and more elaborate figures, such as fir trees, fleurs de lis, or other shapes.

Each case tends to receive a descriptive or newly coined term, such as «sapiné» or «flory» «flory counterflory», in these last two cases depending on whether the figures all point in one direction or alternate upward and downward.

Note that in «sapiné» the charm lies precisely in that alternation: the fir trees point alternately upward and downward, so that the figures interlock with each other.

Therefore, if a new figure appears, such as the heart in this case, with hearts pointing upward, one might say «hearty» or, more specifically, «hearty counterhearty»; but following the example of «sapiné», we shall simply blazon «hearty».

For example, the line formed by dovetail shapes, called «dovetailed» in English, is blazoned in Spanish as «encajada de colas de milano», even changing the name of the bird. Note that in this case they interlock precisely because some point upward and others downward, hence their use in joinery, cabinetry, and related arts.

In Spanish there are classical terms for the most common forms, such as «almenado», «acanalado» or «angrelado», with «encajado» ~ «dancetty» being perhaps the most characteristic, where the angles interlock alternately upward and downward.

When facing new or uncommon shapes, instead of inventing a new term we prefer to use the basic one, «encajado», adding afterwards the specific figure that forms the interlock, for example, «encajado de abetos» ~ «sapiné».

Thus, in this case we blazon «the base hearty», with the hearts alternating upward and downward, just as in the traditional «encajado» the angles alternate both ways.

Party per chevron Gules and Vert, overall a chevron ermine between, in the dexter of the chief a dexter hand apaumée couped at the wrist, in the sinister of the chief a key palewise, ward to dexter chief, and in base a boar passant Argent. Motto: «To Thine Own Self Be True» Sable, with initial letters Gules, over a scroll Argent.

Party per chevron Gules and Vert, overall a chevron ermine between, in the dexter of the chief a dexter hand apaumée couped at the wrist, in the sinister of the chief a key palewise, ward to dexter chief, and in base a boar passant Argent. Motto: «To Thine Own Self Be True» Sable, with initial letters Gules, over a scroll Argent.

Design rationale

This design combines Byrne, O'Byrne, Ó Broin arms: «Gules, a chevron between three dexter hands apaumée couped at the wrist Argent», with O'Hanlon, Ó hAnluain arms: «Vert, on a mount in base proper, a boar passant Ermine».

These features embody the heraldic adaptation by Gaelic chieftains, integrating ancient tribal symbolism deeply rooted in Celtic mythology and rich local traditions from Wicklow and Armagh.

This design, while combining elements from each and respects this symbolism:

  • The layout of the traditional Byrne arms was chosen as the basis for the new arms to reflect the armiger's surname, however, for difference only one of the three dexter hands is employed but in the prime dexter position on the shield and retaining its tinctures. The sinister position has a key to emphasise and reflect the motto «To Thine Own Self Be True» as the essential or key message for one's life, integrity and honesty.
  • The base of the shield has the boar taken from the O'Hanlon arms, an ancient symbol of bravery, courage, and tenacity.
  • The chevron ermine was chosen to incorporate an element used in various versions of the Byrne and O'Hanlon traditional arms and to reflect the nobility of these two ancient clans/septs who fought long and hard to maintain their independence right up to the XVII century.
