An escallop Or environed by ribbons Sanguine doubled Or.

Heraldic device depicted by me, illuminated with lights and shadows, outlined in Sable, and with a leather finish.

Heraldic badge of Marcio Vieira Nastri designed by him and emblazoned by me. It is a canting badge. The insignia of Marcio Vieira Nastri features a «vieira», a escallop in Portuguese and Spanish, alluding to his surname Vieira. It also includes ribbons, since his surname Nastri means ribbons in Italian; they are Sanguine doubled Or, as in his mantling. The ribbons embrace the scallop in such a way that they resemble a capital M, for his name Marcio. The resemblance of the ribbons to the letter M is an artistic detail, not part of the blazon.

Purpure, a castle triple-towered Or, port and windows Azure, masoned Sable; on a chief Azure, a cross patty Or, between two escallops Argent.

Escudo de púrpura, un castillo de oro, aclarado de azur, mazonado de sable; un jefe de azur, cargado de una cruz patada de oro acompañada de dos veneras de plata.

Coat of arms interpreted with: a semicircular (round) base; the field and the chief watercolored in the flat tinctures Purpure and Azure; and the charges illuminated, outlined in Sable, with a very hammered metal finish.

Although it is a university of recent creation, in 1994, its best-known campus is the so-called Hospital del Rey, located on the edge of the Way of St. James and originally intended to care for pilgrims and founded, in 1195, by Alfonso VIII of Castile and Eleanor Plantagenet. The effigies of both monarchs decorate the main gate of the Hospital, called the Gate of the Pilgrims, which is, in turn, the symbol of the University of Burgos.

Regarding the escallop (venera), [Valero de Bernabé, L.; Márquez de la Plata, V. M.; 2003; page 197] notes that among the wide variety of shells, it is the scallop or pilgrim’s shell that is most used in heraldry and in blazons it is named «venera», and that it is drawn with its concave side against the field and its convex side visible, with its ribs vertical and its ears (auricles) toward the chief of the shield, and that when the concave side is shown one must specify it in the blazon as «alzada», and when the ears are in a different tincture it is said «orejada», for example, «an escallop Or, its ears Gules».

Per pale Vert and Azure, overall a sword fesswise Argent, hilted Or, between in chief a Galician granary Or, and in base an escallop Argent between two oak leaves in pile Or. Crest: Upon a helm, with a wreath Or, Vert, and Azure a falcon rising Or, langued Gules. Mantling: dexter Azure doubled Or, sinister Vert doubled Or. Motto: «Nolite Conformari Huic Saeculo» Sable, with initial letters Gules, over a scroll Argent.

Arms designed by me, illuminated with lights and shadows, outlined in Sable, with a semi-circular external shape and with a leather finish.

Design rationale

Per pale Vert and Azure represents the fields of Galicia facing the sea, with its «horreo» ~ granary and the oak leaves as symbols of Galician nature and of the values of strength and nobility of the bearer. The escallop symbolises the Holy Catholic Faith and traditional and conservative values. The sword represents Justice and the bearer’s studies in Law, as well as strength and worth. The bearer’s motto, «Nolite conformari huic saeculo» ~ «Be not conformed to this world», taken from the Epistle of the Apostle Saint Paul to the Romans, chapter 12, verse 2, expresses his personal view of life. The falcon that surmounts the helm as a crest represents sharpness and vigilance.

Historical origin

The coat of arms of Jean-Philippe Sendat reflects his lineage, tradition, and family symbolism, as described below.

His family coat of arms dates back to 1667 and is associated with the former Barony of Sendat. This coat of arms includes lions quartered in the style of Castile and León, and, as a crest, a lion.

The 6 scallop shells, pilgrim's shells, represent the connection to the Camino de Santiago, as pilgrims were hosted in the family castle.

Count palatine crown

Jean-Philippe Sendat, as a Knight of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem, is granted the privilege of adorning his coat of arms with a Count Palatine crown.

This crown is composed of 4 large pearls, 3 of which are visible, alternated with 4 groups of smaller pearls, of which 2 are visible.

According to the heraldic rules of the order, this crown symbolizes the tradition of Pontifical nobility and spiritual proximity to the Holy See.

Registrations

Since 2020, this coat of arms has been registered in the Armorial of France and Europe, with legal deposit in the National Library of France, under reference 2020-2234.

Since 2022, it has been registered in the Armorial of Spanish Knights and Dames of the Holy Sepulchre, by the King of Arms Luis Valero de Bernabé y Martín de Eugenio, Marquess of Casa Real, Director of the College of Arms of Spain and the Indies, to whom I express my profound respect and gratitude.

Tierce: 1 Argent, two keys points upwards, in saltire, between in chief an escallop, and in base a mullet of five points environed at dexter by a crescent bendwise azure; 2 Azure, a dexter arm vested, issuant from sinister, grasping a pilgrim's staff palewise, issuant from base, tied to it a gourd bendwise Argent.

Escudo adiestrado: 1^o de plata, dos llaves alzadas en sotuer, acompañadas en jefe de una venera, y en punta de una estrella de cinco puntas, circundada a la diestra de un creciente puesto en banda todo de azur; 2^o de azur, un brazo diestro vestido, moviente de la siniestra, teniendo un bordón de peregrino puesto en palo, moviente de la punta, y atada a él una calabaza puesta en banda todo de plata.

Arms designed by me, in flat tinctures, contoured in Sable, with a semi-circular outer contour and with a texturized finishing.

Canting arms of Dolores Peregrina Corona designed by Juan Lanzagorta Vallín and me and emblazoned by me. In Castilian heraldic tradition, the «adiestrado» ~ «tierce» used in this coat of arms and its symmetrical «siniestrado» ~ «tierce sinister» are «irregular divisions of the field by one line» ~ «particiones irregulares». That is why I use «tierce» and «tierce sinister» in English. There is another possibility, which is to call the «adiestrado» ~ «pale in dexter flank» and the «siniestrado» ~ «pale in sinister flank», thus ceasing to be a type of «divisions of the field» ~ «particiones» and becoming «ordinaries» ~ «piezas fundamentales». This has implications, as the rule of tinctures would apply if it were considered a «pale» ~ «palo». In any case, I will write the blazon in both ways. Alternative blazon: Azure, a dexter arm vested, issuant from sinister, grasping a pilgrim's staff palewise, issuant from base, tied to it a gourd bendwise; on a pale in dexter flank Argent two keys points upwards, in saltire, between in chief an escallop, and in base a mullet of five points environed at dexter by a crescent bendwise azure.

Design rationale

These are canting arms because her surname is «Peregrina» ~ «pilgrim», and her coat of arms depicts the arm of a pilgrim, as she is one herself, with her staff and her gourd for carrying water, advancing towards the dexter, in order to reach the destination of her three most important life pilgrimages: Santiago de Compostela, Rome, and Jerusalem.
