Lineage

Blazon of the Amancier lineage of Genevois, Haute-Savoie, France.

Gules, three bars per pale Or and Azure.

Illuminated and a freehand finishing.

Its French blazon «de gueules, à trois fasces parties d'or et d'azur» can be found at [Rietstap, J. B.; 1861; page 40].

Any fess party per pale of metal and color or color and metal will always have a metal on metal or color on color conflict whether the field of the coat of arms is color or metal. There isn't conflict if the field of the coat of arms is also party per pale with metal under the color of the fess and with color under the metal of the fess or if the field is fur.

Blazon of the André lineage of France.

Gules, a millstone Or.

Escudo de gules, una piedra de molino de oro.

Illuminated and a watercolor finishing with shadow in the hole.

For its better identification, I have painted the millstone with the ring that fixes it to its axis. This ring is called a millrind, it is made of iron, and usually has 4 arms to better fix the millstone. Millrinds may appear on coats of arms independently of millstones. Another heraldic element related to the previous ones is the millwheel, which is a toothed gear that is part of the mill mechanism but should not be confused with the millstone that grinds the grain.

Blazon of the Poumola lineage of Catalonia.

Gules, a millstone Argent.

Escudo de gules, una piedra de molino de plata.

Illuminated and a watercolor finishing with shadow in the hole.

It blazon is describe in [Cadenas y Vicent, V. de; 1987; page 1429], [García Carraffa, A.; García Carraffa, A.; 1968; volume 3, page 358], and [Ferrer i Vives, F.; 1995; volume 2, page 362].

In this case, my theory is that this coat of arms is an example of «canting arms». «Canting arms» use a word or words of the surname or inside the surname to make the coat of arms. The surname Poumola is from Catalonia, we can split the surname into 2 parts «pou-mola», in Catalonian language a) «pou» means «well» and b) «mola» means «millstone» ~ «cadascuna de les dues pedres de forma circular que componen el molí», [GDLC; 1998], and this could be the reason of the symbolism of this coat of arms. «Canting» in heraldry means «talking» or «chatting», in Spanish «canting arms» is translated as «armas parlantes». Some heralds call «canting» to this creative technic.

Gules, six wagon-wheels Or, 2, 2, and 2.

I have always thought that they are canting arms because of the similar sounds between «rodelo», «rodar»~«rolling», and «rueda»~«wheel».

Argent, on a pile issuing from the base Azure a saltire Or.

Escudo de plata, una pira de azur cargada de un sotuer de oro.

Illuminated and a free hand finishing.

[Cadenas y Vicent, V. de; 2002; page 138] says that the a pile issuing from the base is «a triangle whose base issues from the base of the shield, being a third of its width», but when it is painted in [Cadenas y Vicent, V. de; 2002; page 268, figure 279] along with the pile the width of the base of both isosceles triangles is 2/3 of the width of the shield. I think the width of 2/3 is, in these 2 cases, better than 1/3 width, because with 1/3 there is not enough room for charges, as shown in the figure below.

There are scholars who say that the pile issuing from the base must not touch the upper edge of the shield and others that its tip should be in the center of the chief. In the previous image, the pile issuing from the base of the 1^st shield fulfills the first affirmation, and in the 2^nd shield, its tip is in the center of the chief.

I have the doubt if it should not be a saltire raguly.
