This photo shows a close-up of a giclée colour test for the coat of arms of Ilmo. Sr. D. Manuel Novo Dabrio, designed by him and me and emblazoned by me. Colour tests are printed at a reduced size to check the colours before the final giclée. They are printed on Hahnemühle Torchon paper, from a mill founded in 1584, 285 gsm, 100% cotton, using natural pigment inks. The final giclée is printed on DIN A3+ paper, slightly larger than DIN A3, sealed, dated, and signed by me.

Outlines and proportions of a flanched design at one-fifth.

Regarding the flanched design, [Avilés, J.; 1725a; page 92] writes: «it is said of a figure that divides the Shield from the side of the flanks, sometimes by means of half-ovals», such as those in the diagram that illustrates this article, «and other times by means of half-lozenges, which run from the angle of the Chief to the angle of the base on the same side, whence they take their beginning».

In [Avilés, J.; 1725a; figure 197] an example of a flanched shield is illustrated with the arms of Oschoven on the Rhine, where the space left between both flanches is 1/5 of the base of the shield and, therefore, the width of each flank is 2/5 of the base of the shield, being 2/5 + 1/5 + 2/5 equal to the full base.

Outlines and proportions of a flanched design at one-third.

This is my standardized way of delineating curved flanches, so that they remain tangent to a pale and, therefore, the width of both curved flanches and the space between them is equal to one third of the base. Some draw the flanches using circles, but I believe they look better as two half-ovals, which together would form a complete oval, with the height equal to that of the shield and the width two thirds of the base of the shield, that is, one third for each of the flanches, as in the figures illustrating this article. However, it should be noted that, depending on the charges, the separation distance may be adjusted.

Types of flanched designs

The «flanqueado curvo» corresponds to «flanched» in English, since for them the curved form is the default. [Avilés, J.; 1725b; page 92, figure 197] calls it «flanqueado en óvalo».

The «flanqueado apuntado» formed by 2 opposed triangles I call «pointed flanched» in English, as I have not found a better term. [Avilés, J.; 1725b; page 92, figure 198] calls it «flanqueado en sotuer», but what he draws in his book actually corresponds to a «cuartelado en sotuer» since the two points of the flanking meet at the center of the coat of arms.

«Flanqueado» without adjectives corresponds in Castilian to an «adiestrado» as opposed to a «siniestrado», and I refer to it in English as «flanked by two pales» having found no better translation.

Argent, flanched Sable, in chief a mullet of six points Gules.

Escudo de plata, flanqueado curvo de sable, en jefe una estrella de seis rayos de gules

Coat of arms interpreted with: a semicircular (round) base; illuminated in the tinctures Argent, Gules, and Sable; all outlined in Sable; and finished with a raised-stroke effect.

[Avilés, J.; 1725a; pages 92 and figure 197] blazons it as «Argent, and a six-pointed star Gules in chief, flanched in oval Sable». When he illustrates it in [Avilés, J.; 1725a; figure 197], the space left between both flanches is only 1/5 of the base of the coat of arms; this is feasible because the only charge is a mullet in chief. If there were more charges, it would be necessary to leave more space, for example, 1/3 of the base of the shield.

«Oschoven au Rhein» in the book [Menestrier, C. F.; 1659; page 315], it is blazoned «d'argent flanqué arrondi de sable à vne molette de mesme en chef», so the mullet would be Sable, bacause «de mesme» is written, and with a hole in the middle, this hole does not exits in other sources.

In the book [Rietstap, J. B.; 1861], it is blazoned «Argent, flanched in round Sable, Argent charged in chief of a mullet Gules», and in French «d'argent, flanqué en rond de sable, l'argent chargé en chef d'une étoile de gueules».

Some time ago I used to blazon it in English as «Argent, in chief a mullet of six points Gules, between two flanches Sable».
