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.

Design ideas

The heraldic art often involves resolving design challenges while maintaining both aesthetic balance and adherence to tradition. The coat of arms illustrated here draws inspiration from the Dethick-Dethicke family arms of Derbyshire, though it features distinct differences. This design explores the placement of water-bougets, a medieval water vessel, in a 2+2 arrangement, with a fess vair.

One key consideration when arranging charges in heraldry is proportionality. In this case, the fess occupies 1/3 of the coat of arms's width and is positioned 1/3 of the height from the chief, rather than at the exact center, allowing the charges to balance harmoniously. The shape of the shield itself also plays a role: rounded shields can accommodate a 2+2 arrangement more comfortably than shields with a pointed base, which are better suited to 2+1 arrangements, this is de case of Dethick's arms.

Another challenge in heraldic design is asymmetry. To address the natural curves of the shield, the water-bougets may vary slightly in size or placement. This intentional asymmetry can help create a visually appealing composition that respects both tradition and the unique constraints of each design, because, heraldry is not only about rules but also about creativity.

Gules, a fess vair between four water-bougets Or, two in chief and two in base.

Escudo de gules, una faja de veros acompañada de cuatro pares de odres de oro, dos en jefe y dos en punta.

Water-bouget

In German, they are called «Wasserschlauch» in English «water-bougets» or «oges», and in French «bouses» or «chantepleures».

There is no specific heraldic term for them in Castilian. Based on «chantepleures», one could use «cantimploras», which are metallic or at least rigid. On the other hand, «oges» could translate as «odres», as they are typically made of leather as in this case. Additionally, since «water-bouget» are designed as a pair to be carried by a donkey or other animal, I have decided to use «par de odres» to convey the idea of one on each side of the animal.

In English, when there is a single charge, that is, a pair of water vessels, it is written in singular as «water-bouget», as can be seen in [Fox-Davies, A. C.; 1909; figure 551]. [Friar, S.; 1987; page 68] defines «bouget» as «...a stylized representation of a yoke supporting two leather waterbags».

R0033: the coat of arms of Antonio Pompili, of Italy, as registered by the Chief Herald of Arms of Malta and emblazoned by me for this register. In some Italian and Maltese arms registered by the Chief Herald of Arms of Malta, two coronets are displayed: the coronet placed directly above the shield represents the armiger’s personal rank or status, while the upper coronet represents the higher noble rank of the family line. Thus, for example, a son of a baron may personally bear the coronet of a noble above his arms, with the baronial coronet of his family displayed above it.

G0084: the coat of arms of Heidi Garcia-Bosch-de Morales-de Sola née Adriaensen, of France, as granted by the Chief Herald of Arms of Malta and emblazoned by me for this grant. These are not marital arms in which one part represents her husband and the other her own family. Both parts of the coat of arms belong to her in her own right: the dexter part derives from the Adriaensen family, her maiden name, while the sinister part comes from a grant by Bourbon-Parma. In the Malta Government Gazette, this legal-heraldic status is expressly described by the words «in her own right». The relevance of this clarification may vary from one heraldic jurisdiction to another. In some jurisdictions, women have historically had fewer opportunities to bear and transmit arms in their own right, and there are now efforts to move towards greater equality in entitlement, display and inheritance. In other heraldic jurisdictions, a woman bearing arms in her own right has long been established and is regarded as entirely normal. Even so, a coat of arms divided per pale can sometimes suggest marital arms at first glance, since impalement is so strongly associated with marriage in many heraldic traditions.

G0093: the coat of arms of Alessandro Giannelli and Mariana von Atzingen Gorga, of Italy, as granted by the Chief Herald of Arms of Malta and emblazoned by me for this grant. In the 2^nd quarter, a trimount color Vert can be seen on a field color Gules, that is, color on color. In many heraldic traditions, a trimount color Vert should not be placed on a field color Gules. However, this is not universal; for example, the arms of Slovakia display a trimount color Azure on a field color Gules. There are other differences between heraldic traditions: in Polish heraldry, for instance, Sable is not regarded as a color but as a neutral tincture, neither metal nor color, and may therefore be placed upon color Gules. These arms, granted by the Chief Herald of Arms of Malta to Alessandro Giannelli and Mariana von Atzingen Gorga, belong to an Italian marriage, and similar combinations can be found in the Italian heraldic tradition. One example is the arms of the family of Prince Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa, author of the novel on which Luchino Visconti's film Il Gattopardo is based. The heraldic beast that gave its name to both the novel and the film is itself shown above a trimount color Vert on a field color Azure: «D'azzurro al leopardo d'oro, illeonito, sostenuto da un monte di tre cime di verde cucito». The heraldic term «cucito», literally «sewn», equivalent to the French heraldic term «cousu», also in English, indicates precisely that a color has been placed upon another color. Some heraldists use this term and others do not. I personally like to use it because it makes clear that one is fully aware of the breach of this rule. In this case, for this particular blazon, I have followed more closely the terminology published for the grant in The Malta Government Gazette and have therefore not used the term «cousu» in the text of the blazon.

Or, a fess chequey Argent, charged with an ermine spot, and Azure, between in chief two cross patty Gules, in base a thistle proper; a diminished bordure Azure.

The coat of arms of Reverend John Stuart, XVIII century, emblazoned by me in 3 approaches: 1) Classic bordure: Using a bordure with a width equal to 1/6 of the coat of arms' base. In the image, this is marked with texts and lines in Vert. Notice that the squares in columns 2 and 8 are split by the inner border of the bordure, which is unfortunate as it disrupts the design. 2) Diminished bordure: Using a narrower bordure with a width equal to 2/3 of the classic bordure, corresponding to 1 square of the fess chequey. In the image, this is marked with texts and lines in Gules. This approach avoids splitting any squares, allows for larger figures, and is my preferred solution. In England, diminished bordures, often simply blazoned as bordure, are more common than in Castile. 3) Without squares splitted: Retaining the classic bordure but shifting the fess chequey 1/2 square to either dexter or sinister to prevent splitting squares. However, this sacrifices the symmetry of the design. This last adjustment was used in the hatchment of Reverend John Stuart in St. George's Cathedral, Kingston, Ontario, 1785.

Arms of the Kingdom of Spain. This image combines three photographs of this coat of arms on the façade of the Ministry of Defence building on the Paseo de la Castellana in Madrid, just a few metres from my office, together with my own artistic interpretation of the same arms. In the version on the façade of the Ministry of Defence, the crowns above the columns do not touch the columns, which I believe is the correct way to depict them, although the central crown does appear to rest upon the shield of Spain. There are more interpretations that place the crowns resting on the columns than those that do not, and I photographed this particular version from the Ministry of Defence because it is especially relevant due to its size and institutional significance. On the arrangement of the crowns: a) Royal Decree 1511/1977, of 21 January, enacted during the so-called Transition and approving the Regulations on Flags and Standards, Guidons, Insignia and Distinctive Signs, states: «Rule No. 2. Coat of Arms of Spain… Accompanied by two columns Argent, with base and capital Or, set upon waves Azure or blue and Argent», «superado» «by an imperial crown on the dexter one and by a royal crown on the sinister one…». b) The subsequent Law 33/1981, of 5 October, regulating the current coat of arms of Spain, likewise states: «…Accompanied by two columns Argent, with base and capital Or, set upon waves Azure or blue and Argent», «superado» «by an imperial crown on the dexter one and by a royal crown on the sinister one». c) The term «superado» in the heraldic dictionaries in which it appears refers, as a synonym, to «surmontado». d) The definitions of «surmontado» include: «a charge which, at its upper part, has another above it but without touching it», «also said of superado», and «a figure that bears another above it, but without touching it». In light of a), b), c) and d), the two crowns should therefore be painted not touching the columns. However, in the illustrative drawing contained in Royal Decree 1511/1977 the crowns do touch the columns, contradicting its own wording, although in heraldry, when in doubt, the written blazon always prevails; and in most official representations the crowns do indeed touch the columns. Nevertheless, this personal interpretation of both the coat of arms of Spain and of the proper way to write its blazon, where the lateral crowns do not touch the columns, and then I decide that, following the same criterion, the central crown should not touch the shield either, so the result differs from the official version.

Coat of arms of the House of Noronha in Portugal, a lineage of dual royal origin. The House of Noronha originated with Alfonso Enríquez of Castile, Count of Noreña and Gijón, the natural son of King Henry II of Castile, founder of the Trastámara dynasty, and of Elvira Íñiguez. The lineage became linked to the Portuguese Royal House through the marriage of Alfonso Enríquez to Isabel of Portugal, the natural daughter of King Ferdinand I of Portugal, an alliance arranged in the context of the Treaty of Santarém of 1373, which brought an end to the Fernandine Wars, during which Ferdinand I of Portugal confronted the kings of the House of Trastámara over the throne of Castile following the murder of Peter I at the hands of his half-brother Henry. The House of Noronha became established in Portugal, and its arms quarter those of the Kingdom of Portugal, differenced by a brisure consisting of a baston Sable, and those of the House of Trastámara. This coat of arms has been emblazoned for Fernando Durán Cabral de Mello d’Alpoim by me as a preparatory work for his armorial bearings, his coat of arms has a inescutcheon with the arms of the House of Noronha.

Canting arms of Dolores Peregrina Corona designed by Juan Lanzagorta Vallín and me and emblazoned by me. 5 is the default number of points of the «mullet» in both English and Castilian heraldry. [Friar, S.; 1987; page 35] states: «a mullet is always depicted as having five points, a six-pointed mullet should be blazoned a Mullet of six points»; likewise, [Avilés, J.; 1725a; page 279, figure 126] and [Avilés, J.; 1780a; page 312, figure 126] state: «Mullets ordinarily have five rays, or straight points,... when blazoning this figure, the usual practice is to specify the number of rays when exceeding five». 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. Following [Petra Sancta, S.; 1634; pages 417–418], in seventeenth-century academic emblematics the staff symbolizes the road understood as an intellectual journey, proper to a traveller who appears humble yet is rich in knowledge, while the gourd, which may seem empty, represents the wisdom preserved within it and from which learning ultimately emerges.

Coat of arms of Yaroslav Pototsky emblazoned by me under his directions. [Académie internationale d'héraldique; 1952; figure 79] defines, in the case of a charge placed lower in the shield than its default position, the terms «abatido», «in base», «abaissé» and «abbassato» in Spanish, English, French and Italian respectively, and when it is specifically a chevron, [Académie internationale d'héraldique; 1952; figure 147], «cabria bajado», «chevron in base», «chevron failli (abaissé)» and «abassato». But [Real Academia Española; 2001; abatido] provides meanings more associated with mood and other negative connotations rather than with a geometric position; in geometry, for instance, «abatir» a plane means to rotate it through an imaginary hinge rather than to lower it, which creates confusion. Likewise, the English term «abased» also carries negative connotations. Therefore, I prefer to use the terms «en punta» ~ «chevron in base», which I believe are more illustrative.

The arms of Kevin Larkin from Ireland and Spain, designed, emblazoned, and sealed by me.

Design rationale

The creation of these arms has been guided by Kevin Larkin's life journey, connecting Ballinasloe, Dublin, London, and Alicante. Drawing inspiration from the heraldry of Ballinasloe, the armiger's hometown, and Alicante, his current residence, the design reflects significant elements from both places. Ballinasloe's arms feature a triple-towered castle, symbolizing the O Ceallaigh's historic stronghold and the area's legal traditions. Similarly, Alicante's arms prominently display a triple-towered castle, making it a natural unifying element for the design. The wavy lines represent the River Suck and River Shannon in Ireland above, and the Mediterranean Sea below. Adopting a traditional Spanish style for the arms aligns with Mr. Larkin's life in Spain, embracing its rich heraldic heritage and distinctive artistic symbolism.

Objectives and activities

The Heraldry Society of Scotland ~ «The Heraldry Society of Scotland», was founded in 1977. Its objectives are to promote the study of heraldry and to encourage its correct use both in Scotland and abroad.

The HSS (acronym for The Heraldry Society of Scotland) encourages those who have a coat of arms and those who intend to adopt their own arms to become members of the society and also encourages to join all those interested in Scottish heraldry, therefore the HSS admits and has members from all over the world.

The HSS holds active and regular meetings throughout the year and organizes conferences and visits to places of historical and heraldic interest, both within Scotland and in other countries.

Online content

They also maintain and update a website, whose domain is Heraldry-Scotland.co.uk, with interesting and abundant reading material, among which their list of online armorials with blazons in English stands out, among which the following armorials can be highlighted:

• Sir David Lindsay's Armorial from 1542, with 504 coats of arms and identification letters «DL», from «DL001» to «DL504». Includes imaginary coats of arms, for example, that of «DL011» of Hector of Troy which it imagines as «Sable, two lions combatant Or», which [Avilés, J.; 1725a; page 7] blazons with a Gules field, this difference would allow tracing the sources of each author, which would be interesting as it is, moreover, imaginary.
• Hamilton Armorial, from 1560, with 82 coats of arms they say, although only 79 appear, and identification letters «HM», from «HM001» to «HM079», where for example, «HM001» is the arms of Scotland «Or, a lion rampant Gules armed and langued Azure within a double tressure flory counter-flory Gules» and «HM026» is the insignia of Scotland «Or, a lion rampant within a double tressure flory counter-flory Gules».
• Queen Mary's Roll from 1562, with 204 coats of arms and identification letters «QM». from «QM001» to «QM204».
• Forman's Armorial from 1563, with 258 coats of arms they say, although only 247 appear, and identification letters «FAL», that is, from «FAL001», the arms of Scotland, to «FAL247».
• Slains Armorial from 1565, with 712 coats of arms they say, although only 638 appear, and identification letters «SL», that is, from «SL001» to «SL638».
• Armorial of Sir David Lindsay of the Mount, Secundus from 1599, with 285 coats of arms and identification letters «DLS».
• Seton Armorial from 1599, with 422 coats of arms and identification letters «SN», from «SN001» to «SN422».
• Dunvegan Armorial estimated to be around 1600, with 282 coats of arms they say, although only 52 appear, and identification letters «DV», only 2 digits and without leading zeros, from «DV1» to «DV52».
• Kings and Nobilities Arms, 2^nd volume from 1638, with 111 coats of arms and identification letters «KNB», from «KNB001», the arms of the King of Scotland, to «KNB111».
• Nisbet's A System of Heraldry published in 1722, with 2,608 coats of arms, according to my count, and which I reference as [Nisbet, A.; 1722], 1^st edition and [Nisbet, A.; 1816], for a later one that I have available. On the same page appears the blazon of Alexander Nisbet himself, in entry 1,926 according to my calculations, as «Argent, three boars' heads erased Sable within a bordure invected Gules», that is, «Argent: three boars' heads erased Sable; a bordure invected Gules» where «invected» ~ «acanalado» as opposed to «engrailed» ~ «angrelado».

I also find very interesting, for example, their pages on the basic principles of heraldic design, written by Doctor Patrick Barden.

Later, his father the king granted him the County of Trastámara, among other lordships, giving rise to the House and the Trastámara dynasty, which began when Henry II ascended the throne after killing his half-brother Peter I in 1369. The Trastámara dynasty ruled in Castile, Aragon, Navarre, and Naples, and came to an end with our Queen Joanna of Castile, daughter of Isabella I of Castile and Ferdinand II of Aragon, both members of the House of Trastámara. This coat of arms has been created for Fernando Durán Cabral de Mello d’Alpoim as a preparatory work for his armorial bearings. In that coat of arms, the House of Noronha inescutcheon bears the arms of Trastámara in the 2^nd and 3^rd quarters.

The arms of Vittoria Pompili and Alessandra Pompili were presented in my lecture Women and Arms: Contemporary Coats of Arms for Women Worldwide (lecture). The presentation included their coats of arms shown together with their blazons unified. They are from Italy. Their arms were registered by Dr Charles A. Gauci, Chief Herald of Arms of Malta (registers R0038 and R0039), and painted by me. The standard displayed below is that of their father, Grant G0066, from which both coats of arms derive through the appropriate marks of cadency.
