Crest

King of León from January 21, 1188, until his death on September 24, 1230.

Argent, a lion rampant Purpure, armed and langued Gules. Crest: An open royal crown Or.

Escudo de plata, un león rampante de púrpura, armado y lampasado de gules. Timbrado de una corona real abierta.

Arms of the King interpreted as follows: the escutcheon is finished in a semi-circular arch; both the field, the lion, and the crown of the crest have been illuminated; and the ensemble has a hammered metal finish.

Purple lion of the Kingdom of León

In the following image, I show a miniature from the Tumbo A of the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, from the 13th century, with the heading reading «Inclitus:Adeffonsus:Rex:Legionensium:et Gallecie:», combined with my interpretation of his coat of arms. The lion of the Kingdom of León can be found depicted in both purple and gules, but images like this confirm that it is purple, and I particularly favor the purple, as it makes it historically unique.

Arms emblazoned by me, illuminated with lights and shadows, outlined in Sable, with an ogee external shape and with a rough finish.

Design rationale

The arms of Castilla-La Mancha and many of its towns are party per pale; the 1^st quarter is a canting elm = olmo = Casas del Olmo; the 2^nd quarter symbolizes that historically, until 1861, this village belonged to Alarcón town whose castle, of Muslim origin, has a single tower. My heraldic artwork has been supervised by the Casas del Olmo Residents Association.

Arms of the Kingdom of Castile and León created by me as follows: the shield of arms has a rounded (semicircular) base; the quarters are illuminated in flat tinctures Argent and Gules; the castles, lions and crown are illuminated; the lion and its crown are outlined in the colour of the field; the open royal crown; the royal Castilian castle is masoned, that is, outlined in Sable; the whole has an iridescent finish; and the owner, the shield and its blazon are framed within a border representing the arms of the Kingdom, this frame resulting from the combination of 76 small castles and 2 large ones at the corners with 76 small crowned lions and 2 large lions at the other corners;

In the armorial [Urfé; 15^th century; page VIII of the index and page 140 of the contents], reference is made to and the arms of Castile and its kings are blazoned in French, describing its castle and its purple lion crowned Or and rampant.

Disperse like the sun clears the clouds in your path.

Argent, a cross of Alcantara. Crest: A closed royal crown Or, with eight arches, visible five. Motto: «Hoec nubila tollunt obstantia sicut sol».

Escudo de plata, una cruz de Alcántara. Timbrado de una corona real cerrada. Lema: «Hoec nubila tollunt obstantia sicut sol».

Coat of arms interpreted in the following manner: the shape of the shield is of a semicircular arch; the field is illuminated in metal Argent; the cross of Alcantara is outlined in Sable and illuminated in Vert; the royal crown is closed, outlined in Sable and illuminated with the metal Or, Argent for the pearls, Azure and Or for the orb, Gules and Vert for the gems, Gules for the inner cloth, and Sable for the visible hollow at its base; and the whole has a slightly hammered metal finish.

Regiment's Motto

The Latin motto «Hoec nubila tollunt obstantia sicut sol» is often translated as «Ride like the sun, disperses the clouds in its path». I would like to offer the following observations on this translation:

• Instead of «disperse», I prefer the verb «scatter» which is more aligned with a cavalry regiment, [Royal Spanish Academy; 2001] «scatter, 3^rd meaning, transitive verb, military term: To break up, rout the enemy, causing them to flee and scatter in complete disorder».
• On the other hand, even though it is about cavalry, I do not find that the Latin motto makes reference to riding, a verb that is also not needed to understand the motto's meaning, and adding an extra word lengthens the motto, reducing its impact.
• Finally, I use «your», instead of «its», so that the motto is a direct and personal rallying cry and not a phrase directed at a third person.

Regimental Motto

The Latin motto «In hoc signo vinces» is translated as «In this sign, you shall conquer».

Globus cruciger ~ Orb

It is called orb ~ «globus cruciger», the first in Spanish and the second in Latin, referring to the part of the royal crown, a jewel, or a jewel itself that recreates the shape of the globe topped with a cross.

Arms of Charles, Holy Roman Emperor, emblazoned by me. The decision to depict both Pillars of Hercules in Argent arises from a strictly technical and artistic process. My objective was to paint the commander’s badge of the Imperial Hispanic Order of Charles V, a piece that is entirely made of Argent. Working directly on a fully Argent surface made the visual reading of the whole difficult, so I decided, as a preliminary step, to paint the coat of arms in its proper tinctures and, once the chromatic composition was resolved, to convert it into Argent. The commander’s badge of this order is based on its coat of arms and emblem as interpreted and painted by the heraldist and heraldic artist Fernando Martínez Larrañaga. In that interpretation, Fernando represented the Pillars of Hercules entirely in Argent. For the sake of coherence with this model, which is the direct reference for the badge, I followed the same solution and painted the pillars in Argent. I have also painted this same coat of arms with the pillars having Argent shafts and Or bases and capitals.

Publication of my interpretation of the arms of Ugnius Mikucionis, on the blog Twelve Lineages of Soria with the article titled: The eminent heraldist Mr. Antonio Salmerón Cabañas interprets the coat of arms of Ugnius Mikucionis (Lithuania and Norway).

Blazon in Spanish by Alfonso de Ceballos-Escalera y Gila, Chronicler of Arms of Castile and León, from his certification of arms: «Vert, a Latin cross made of a wooden staff, raguly, from whose sinister flank issues a leafy branch that encircles the cross from above and entwines over its base, all Or. Crested with a steel helmet affronty, torse Or and Vert, with mantling Vert doubled Or. For crest, the same raguly Latin cross, branched and leafed, Or, placed before two wings Vert».

Blazon in English by The South African Bureau of Heraldry, from its certification of arms: «Vert, a wooden staff, its upper end terminating in a Latin cross, raguly, couped at random, issuant from its sinister nombril point a leaved offshoot encircling the cross, its end terminating and debruising the lower limb Or. Crest: In front of a pair of wings displayed Vert, a wooden staff issuant, its upper end terminating in a Latin cross, raguly, couped at random, issuant from its sinister nombril point a leaved offshoot encircling the cross, its end terminating and debruising the lower limb Or. Wreath and mantling: Vert and Or». I do not agree with the specification of the exact place of origin of the branch, the «nombril point» ~ «navel», because that point of origin does not distinguish this coat of arms from another where the branch could emerge at a different height, either closer or further from the point of the shield, and because it forces the artistic interpretation to either break the rule of fullness or to draw a curved branch in a panache shape to allow it to open before gaining height.

Note how in the Spanish certification of arms, by the Chronicler of Arms of Castile and León, this unnecessary nombril specification as the origin point of the branch is omitted.

The nombril is the exact crossing point of the vertical axis of symmetry of the shield with the lower edge of the bend.

Arms emblazoned by me, illuminated with lights and shadows, contoured in Sable, with a semi-circular external shape and with a freehand finish.

Coat of arms of Elijah R. emblazoned by me. The English term «debruised» is written in Castilian as «resaltado»; I usually write it as «debruised by» ~ «resaltado de», where the charge below is debruised by the one above. It is analogous to «charged by» ~ «cargado de», except that the upper charge projects beyond the surface of the lower one; in this case, parts of the stag project beyond the surface of the sun and the clouds. In English, «stag» corresponds to the Castilian «ciervo», although «deer» is occasionally found instead. When a stag's antlers are of a different tincture from its body, the English term is «attired»; in Castilian I prefer «ramado» to «arcornado». When the animal issues from the wreath, rather than standing upon it, I write «demi» in English and «saliente» in Castilian; «demi» is reminiscent of the Castilian prefix «semi». When the animal is «demi», the animal's default attitude is «rampant» ~ «rampante» unless otherwise specified.

Arms painted by me, illuminated with lights and shadows, contoured in Sable, with a pointed external shape and with a rough finish.

Design rationale

The fox refers to the clever and resourceful character attributed to the armiger’s family. The federschwert evokes his dedication to Historical European Martial Arts, in particular the German school of Liechtenauer and the long sword. The oak leaves have a double meaning: they symbolize nature and spirituality, linked to his belonging to the Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids, and being nine in number they allude to his Irish heritage and the legendary figure of Niall of the Nine Hostages. His ancestry includes Irish, English and German roots, the latter once again connected to the sword. The motto translates as «Clever, Caring, Witty».

The oak tree laden with acorns Or in the first quarter symbolizes the family's fertility.

The third quarter derives from the arms of the Faus family and represents it. The plain cross in the fourth quarter is a symbol of Christ and of Aragon. The Latin motto reads: «Strong as Iron».

Coat of arms of Amber Martinez, California, designed by her, improved by Kevin D Couling and Bob Juchter van Bergen Quast and emblazoned by me. The heraldic charge known in English as the «estoile», from the Old French «estoile», modern French «étoile», and in Castilian as the «estrella ondada», is the traditional heraldic representation of a star in English heraldry. It is distinguished by its wavy rays, in contrast to the straight rays of the «mullet» ~ «estrella». The «estoile» is documented from the thirteenth century, when it was often used interchangeably with the «mullet». Over time, however, English heraldry came to distinguish the two charges, the «estoile» becoming the conventional representation of a star with wavy rays, while the «mullet» represented a star with straight rays. Unless otherwise specified in the blazon, the «estoile» ~ «estrella ondada» is traditionally depicted with six wavy points, one point directed to chief, as in the arms shown here, although heraldic practice also admits other numbers of points whenever they are expressly blazoned.

«Armas antigas» ~ ancient arms of family d’Alpoim, originally from France, emblazoned for Fernando Durán Cabral de Mello d’Alpoim by me according to his instructions and based, except for the cry, on descriptions from armorials such as «Nobiliário da Ilha Terceira» by Eduardo de Campos de Castro de Azevedo Soares, «Pedatura Lusitana», on the noble families of Portugal, by Cristóvão Alão de Morais, the chapter «O Solar dos Alpoins» by A. Nogueira Gonçalves, or «Armaria Portuguesa» that describes it in Portuguese «De azul, cinco flores de lis de oiro. T.: braço vestido de azul, a mão de encarnação segurando um listão tambem de azul, e nelle, em letras de oiro, o grito Nostre Dame de Puy» and also in French «D'azur à cinq fleurs-de-lis d'or. C.: un bras paré d'azur, la main de camation tenant un listel d'azur avec le cri, Nostre Dame de Puy, en lettres d'or». In this version, the text of the cry «:Notra:Dama:Dallpoy:» is based on a d’Alpoim's armorial stone and represents a Portuguese evolution of the original French cry «Notre Dame du Puy», which is the name of the Cathedral of Le Puy-en-Velay, France.

Design rationale

The Promet family are the founders and owners of Promet Restoration, a company devoted to the preservation and restoration of fine pianos, antique furniture, and historic wooden artefacts, prometrestoration.com. Their tradition began in 1983 at the National Maritime Museum in Tallinn, Estonia, under the mentorship of Ülo Ots, son of the renowned opera singer Georg Ots. Founded in San Francisco in 1989 and later established in Seattle, Promet Restoration has since restored more than four hundred Steinway pianos and countless heirloom pieces. The company’s mission «To preserve the heirlooms for generations to come» embodies both artistic integrity and respect for craftsmanship. The arms combine Estonian heraldic inspiration with the form of dovetail joints, a symbol of precision and enduring workmanship, as used in the crafting of pianos and fine furniture. The motto «Per Aspera ad Astra», meaning «Through difficulties to the stars», is replaced, in the version used for their company Promet Restoration, by the corporate motto «Quality & Integrity · Est. 1989».

R0047: the coat of arms of Olivia Zangenberg, of United Kingdom, as registered by the Chief Herald of Arms of Malta and emblazoned by me for this register. In the practice of the Office of the Chief Herald of Arms of Malta, whose grants and registrations are officially published in the Government Gazette, a double coronation is occasionally observed within the armorial achievements. In this case, the coronet resting directly upon the shield represents the personal rank of the armiger (in this case, a coronet of noble as the daughter of a baron), while the superior coronet identifies the dignity of the family to which she or he belongs. The Office's policy is detailed in the book [Gauci, C. A.; 2023; 145], «The Way Forward»: «In the British tradition, coronets of rank are normally borne immediately above the shield, but in other countries e.g., Spain, Portugal, France the coronet of rank may be borne above the helm, not unlike a crest coronet. In Malta some title-holders display their coronet above the shield while others display it above the helm. In some cases, this may be due to the fact that some holders of Maltese titles of foreign origins, opt to follow the heraldic rules of the country which granted the original title. In other case it appears to rest purely on the whims of the title-holder. The Office of the Chief Herald of Arms of Malta will normally choose to display coronets of rank immediately above the shield but will not stand in the way of family tradition should there be a preference for the coronet to be displayed elsewhere in the Arms».

The full achievement of Jean-Christophe Loubet del Bayle emblazoned by me, accompanied by the French incunabulum that inspired the armillary sphere of its crest. Rather than designing a modern armillary sphere, I based it on the woodcut illustration printed on folio a iii of Compost et Kalendrier des Bergères, published in Paris by Guy Marchant on 17 August 1499, Marchant, G.; 1499. This remarkable incunabulum, preserved today in the Historical Library of the Complutense University of Madrid, combines astronomy, astrology and practical knowledge through more than eighty woodcut illustrations. Reinterpreting one of these engravings in heraldic form allowed the crest to preserve not only the symbolism of the armillary sphere but also a tangible connection with the artistic and scientific tradition of late fifteenth-century France.

Emblem, two two-handed swords in saltire Argent, hilted Or. Crest: A royal crown Or.

Emblema, dos mandobles en sotuer de plata, guarnecidos de oro. Timbrado de una corona real.

Emblem interpretation with: the two-handed swords placed along the diagonals of an imaginary rectangle, with a 5x6 proportion, like a shield, that is, with angles of 50.2°, between the axis of the two-handed swords and the imaginary base of the emblem, unlike the original emblem where the two-handed swords are on the diagonals of a square, therefore with angles of 45°; the two-handed swords and the closed royal crown are outlined in Sable, illuminated and the whole with a raised-stroke execution.

This emblem of the Royal Association of Hidalgos of Spain has 2 two-handed swords that, unlike usual swords, due to their great length and weight, their fencing must be two-handed, hence their name.

The Spanish word «mandoble» comes from «mano doble», meaning «double hand», and refers to a sword wielded with both hands, the equivalent of the English «two-handed sword».

It is known that they are two-handed swords because the 2 that appear in the emblem have a crescent or crossguard in their iron. This crescent is called in Castilian «falsaguarda» and also «ganchos de parada» and its functionality is to protect from the slashes that the opponent could give close to the blade of the two-handed sword.

Small-sized Giclée proof for the coat of arms of Ugnius Mikučionis-Vizgirda emblazoned by me. I usually employ the Giclée printing technique on Hahnemühle paper, produced by the paper mill founded in 1584 in southern Lower Saxony. This paper is made from 100% cotton, weighs 280 g/m² (sometimes 300 g/m²), and is manufactured using natural fibres and tones. These reduced-size proofs are printed to verify the fitting of the armorial achievement on the sheet, to check the registration marks that frame it, and to assess the rendering and balance of the heraldic tinctures before producing the final Giclée.
