Coat of arms of Albrecht Dürer, 1471-1528, emblazoned by me based on the woodcut titled «Coat of Arms of Albrecht Dürer» made by Albrecht Dürer himself in 1523 on a sheet measuring 35.1 × 26.1 cm belonging to The Elisha Whittelsey Collection, The Elisha Whittelsey Fund, 1952, held at the Metropolitan Museum of New York, and on the work titled «Marriage Coat of Arms of the Families Duerer and Holper. Verso of the Albrecht Dürer the Elder portrait», dated 1490; Albrecht Dürer the Elder, 1427–1502, was his father.
The Dürer family coat of arms is an example of canting arms. Their family origin traces back to Ajtós, Hungary, a name which means «door» or «doorman» in Hungarian. Upon settling in Nuremberg, the family Germanized their surname to «Türer», derived from «Tür», meaning «door», and later to Dürer. This is the reason of the main charge of these arms.

Arms of the king, as interpreted by me, as follows: the shield's shape is pointed and rounded; the field is enameled Gules; the castle is outlined in Sable; and the whole composition features a watercolor finish.
In [Valero de Bernabé, L.; 2009a; page 1] the author specifies the main characteristics of the «Castilian royal castle», which can be summarized as: «with three towers, the middle one taller, and the two flanking it identical», «each tower crowned with three battlements», «one to three doors and one or two pointed windows on each tower», and «masoned and battlemented», as also noted by the same author in [Valero de Bernabé, L.; 2009b; page 33].

Coat of arms of the King Alfonso X of Castile, 1221–1284, 1st son of the King Ferdinand III of Castile, 1199-1252, and the Queen Beatrice of Swabia, 1205–1235. The order of the quarters is first the castle of his grandmother, Queen Berenguela of Castile, and second the lion of his grandfather, King Alfonso IX of León; however, the other day I discovered that on the map by [Martineau du Plessis, D.; 1700; volume II, illustration 30, page 126], in the shield framed between parallels 37 and 36 and meridians 21 and 22, the lion occupies the 1st quarter and the castle the 2nd quarter; that is, their order appears reversed.

Armories of the Wise King of Castile interpreted by me with the following characteristics: the external shape of the coat of arms ends in an ogee arch; the field, the 2 castles, and the 2 lions are outlined and enameled in flat colors; and the texture seems fabric.

The 2nd part of this armorial was made between 1270 and 1285 and, being Alphonse X king of Castile and Leon from 1252 to 1284, it is to Him that the title «Le roy Despaingne» seems to refer.

Azure, a wolf's head caboshed Argent, in chief three monstrances in fess proper. Motto: «Fiat Voluntas Tua».
A mug featuring the coat of arms and motto of Bárbaro Jonathan López Linares, Cuba, designed by him and emblazoned by me. My emblazonment was used to personalize this mug. The criterion is that the tinctures must remain consistent within the same interpretation of the arms. If I paint a version of this shield, I will use a single azure for the field and for the mantling, should I depict it; the same or for the three monstrances; and the same argent for the wolf and for the sacred hosts. But in a different interpretation, another azure may be used, provided that it is azure, as well as another or and another argent. The azure used by one artist does not bind the next; that is why we use terms such as azure, which means any blue except sky blue. If we were forced to use exactly the same azure in every interpretation of the same arms, we would have to blazon them, for example, with Pantone codes or RGB specifications, and that is not what we do. Tinctures are fixed in logos, but not in coats of arms; this is one of the reasons why coats of arms leave much more room for artistic expression than corporate logos.

Coat of arms based on the fourth of the Navarrese «ricoshombres» from [Bosque, J. del; 1540; folio 1 of the numbering of 1613], but, unlike the original, adjusting the height of each square to its width so that they are perfect squares, since in Juan del Bosque’s version—actually in its copy, because the original was stolen—they appear somewhat narrow and elongated. The text heading this article is taken from the transcription made by [Martinena Ruiz, J. J.; 1982; pages 122 and 123].
Under the title «Surname of Baztan» it can also be consulted in [Vega, P. J. de; 1702; folio 4 of the manuscript], although in this case the numbering is not clearly legible; it is the folio following 3, preceding the one also numbered 4 but marked with a letter B, which in turn is followed by folio 6, the number 5 being missing — though not folio 5, which would be 4B.
Baztanes and the Valley of Baztan are mentioned in [Garaycoa Raffo, L.; 2011; pages 8, 29, 30, 33, 37, and 38].
The geometric construction of this coat of arms can be found in [Messía de la Cerda y Pita, L.; 1990; page 108].

Barry wavy Argent and Azure; on a chief wavy Murrey, three sea-lions sejant-erect in fess Or.
G0144, Chief Herald of Arms of Malta's grant of the coat of arms of Brian Andrew Beck, USA. The photograph shows my hand-drawn study of the sea-lion sejant-erect. The visible drawing corresponds to the final version, while a first earlier version can be seen beneath it through the translucent paper. This reflects my usual working method: I draw directly in ink, without a preliminary pencil sketch, using long continuous strokes and lifting the pen as little as possible. I work on successive sheets of tracing paper, one laid over another, refining the drawing from one version to the next until I reach a result that satisfies me. The first attempt is rarely successful; the stronger drawings usually emerge in the second or third version, sometimes the fourth, and occasionally after more iterations.

Banner Azure, three fleurs de lis Or.
Pendón de azur, tres flores de lis de oro.
Banner interpreted as follows: rectangular in shape with a 5x6 proportion; the field enamelled in flat Azure; the three fleurs-de-lis illuminated in Or and outlined in Sable; and the whole piece finished with an aged parchment effect.
Starting in 1376, the field sown with fleurs-de-lis was replaced by only three fleurs-de-lis. This change took place during the reign of Charles V of France (1338–1380, King of France from 1364 to 1380).
Edward III Plantagenet (1312–1377, King of England from 1327 to 1377) had incorporated the semé of fleurs-de-lis into his arms as a sign of his claim to the French throne, and Henry IV of England (1367–1413, King of England from 1399 to 1413) again changed the semé into three fleurs-de-lis in his own arms.
These three fleurs-de-lis remained in the royal arms of England until George II (1683–1760, King from 1727 to 1760).
They remained in the royal arms of the French kings until their prohibition during the so-called «Hundred Days», that is, from March 20, 1815, the date of Napoleon’s return to Paris from his exile in Elba, until June 28, 1815, the date of the Second Restoration of Louis XVIII as King of France, when they were reinstated. Finally, after the Revolution of 1830, Louis Philippe I of Orléans decreed their abolition by Order of February 10, 1831.
This banner is a recreation of the one appearing in the armorial [Edward IV of England; 1461; row 23, column 2], although in that armorial the banner seems to be associated with Louis IX of France, perhaps because of the prestige of the saintly King of France, whose arms bore a semé of fleurs-de-lis rather than three.

Coat of arms of Dr. Jacques William Normand Delfin. He is from Mexico and his family comes from Falaise in Normandy. This coat of arms has been created by him and me, and emblazoned by me.
The leopards symbolize the family’s origin in Falaise, Normandy, as well as the nobility of heart to help those in need; their raised claw represents the ardor in striving to accomplish the proposed undertakings; their gaze forward stands for sincerity and honesty in daily actions; their walking in pair conveys the enduring unity of the family; and the gold of their skin reflects the purity of the soul, mirrored along the path of life. The Norman drakkar sailing westward symbolizes both the family’s journey to America in search of a new horizon and the quest for knowledge in science, technology, cosmology, theology, and the Universe itself. The oak acorns represent the Breton branch of the family and embody strength, perseverance, chivalry, kindness, loyalty, sacrifice, and faith. The motto proclaims that God may be our Master, Companion, and Guide, the Light along the path, and the Shield against adversity in life’s journey. The Cross of Lorraine honors Saint Joan of Arc, who bore it upon her standard.

G0143, Chief Herald of Arms of Malta's grant for the crest of Daniel John Bugeja, Malta. Hand-drawn delineation by me, showing the granted crest. It should be borne in mind that in heraldry there is no fixed or inherent symbolic meaning attached to charges; any symbolic value, where it exists, derives from the intention of the original bearer or the creator of the arms. Nevertheless, heraldic tradition has preserved historical explanations for the origin of certain charges. In this respect, [Wade, W. C.; 1898; pages 115-116] notes that the lady’s sleeve, of very ancient form, entered heraldry through the custom of knights attending tournaments wearing their ladies’ sleeves as «gages d’amour», and that, in adopting this charge, the knight could symbolically declare: «por el honor de mi dama».

The one with the Cross on his back ~ Crouchback (1245–1296)
Arms of England; overall, a label Azure of three points, each charged with three fleurs-de-lis Or in pale.
Arms interpreted as follows: the mouth of the shield is semicircular (round); the field enamelled in a flat tint of Gules; the label and figures illuminated in Or and Azure and outlined in Sable; and the whole finished with a watercolour effect.
He was the second son of King Henry III of England, and took part in the Ninth Crusade, hence the epithet «Cross on the back».
In 1253 he was appointed Earl of Chester, holding dominion, among others, over the county of Cheshire, but the following year Pope Innocent IV granted him the crown of Sicily, so he ceded his earldom to his elder brother Edward I of England, however, he never came to occupy the throne of Sicily.
The label is an honourable ordinary and also «a kind of mark of cadency, and the most noble of all those used to differentiate the Arms of the younger sons of a House» [Avilés, J.; 1725a; page 248] and it can likewise be used by the eldest son while his father's arms are still in use, ceasing to bear the label when he inherits his father’s coat. When both the eldest and the second son bear a label, the latter’s label then has more points or is charged with figures to distinguish it.
The label is constructed with «a fillet, which is one-ninth of the width of the chief, with three pendants in the form of carpentry wedges or ill-shaped triangles, joined to it without any line of separation, falling twice as far as the fillet is wide, two placed at the ends and one in the middle, its usual position being in the centre of the chief’s length, without reaching the edges of the shield» [Avilés, J.; 1725a; page 248].

Coat of arms of Alejandra Espeja Amieva designed by Juan Lanzagorta Vallín and emblazoned by me. Blazoning specific, real-world objects in coats of arms should be avoided. Therefore, in the blazon I describe «four bell towers». However, in this case, for artistic reasons, to echo the elongated form of the four pallets Gules, and due to the origin of the bearer, I depict four bell towers inspired by those on the Nativity Façade of Gaudí’s Sagrada Família in Barcelona. Additionally, I initially blazoned the arrangement of the 4 bell towers as «in fess» ~ «en faja», as, from a heraldic perspective, this term accurately describes their horizontal alignment next to each other across the field. However, I observed that this term, far from clarifying the design, caused confusion among some viewers. The naturally vertical shape of a bell tower, its default position, is «palewise» ~ «puesta en palo», so using «in fess» ~ «en faja» led many to assume that I intended to lay the bell towers on their sides. Although the original description was heraldically correct, I decided to remove the mention of «in fess» ~ «en faja» for being unnecessary and clearly counterproductive. As the towers are «issuant from base» ~ «movientes de la punta», their placement in a horizontal row is sufficiently implied, thus avoiding misunderstandings and maintaining the clarity of the blazon. It is important to remember that «in fess» ~ «en faja» refers to how multiple elements are aligned with each other (in a horizontal row), while «palewise» ~ «puesto en palo» describes the individual orientation of an element (in a vertical position).

«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.: ... o grito Nostre Dame de Puy» and also in French «D'azur à cinq fleurs-de-lis d'or. C.: ... 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.

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.

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».

A symbolic image representing, through 3 coats of arms, the creation of the coat of arms of the King Ferdinand III the Saint from the arms of Alfonso IX, King of León, and Berenguela, Queen of Castile. The shapes of all three shields are rounded; all their components are illuminated; and the whole composition features a watercolor finish.
Ferdinand III the Saint was the son of Alfonso IX of León and Berenguela of Castile. During his reign, the crowns of Castile and León were united forever. When, in 1230, Ferdinand III succeeded his father, he adopted a quarterly coat of arms, placing his mother's arms, the castle, in the 1st and 4th quarters, and his father's arms, the lion, in the 2nd and 3rd quarters. His goal was likely to achieve balance between the two kingdoms and to give his coat of arms a greater sense of continuity over time compared to impaled arms. The coat of arms of Ferdinand III the Saint was the first quarterly shield in history, and the idea spread into the heraldry of Spain and other kingdoms, such as Aragon-Sicily, Brabant, England, Navarre, and Bohemia.

Arms of Gilbert des Essarts, France, emblazoned by me. This scheme (outlined and then in plain tincture) depicts a chevron with a wider, more obtuse angle than usual.

R0047, Chief Herald of Arms of Malta's grant for the arms of Olivia Zangenberg's arms, United Kindom, whose full achievement has been emblazoned by me for such 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. However, a titular coronet, unlike a crest coronet (see below), must never be placed above a wreath or be separated from the helm by a fold of mantling. This would reduce its status to that of a crest coronet».

Azure, six lions rampant Or, 3, 2 and 1.
Escudo de azur, seis leones rampantes de oro, 3, 2 y 1.
Existing armories interpreted by me as follows: the shield's shape is pointed; the field has been enameled in flat azure; the 6 lions are illuminated; and the entire composition has a watercolor finish.
When blazoning these 6 lions, considering that in heraldry the natural arrangement of elements is from more in chief to fewer in base, it would suffice to specify nothing more than «or and rampant». However, adding their arrangement «3, 2, and 1» can aid the reader, as done by [Avilés, J.; 1725b; page 124] and [Avilés, J.; 1780b; page 142] when blazoning the arms of Alfonso Enrique de Vick, writing «sable, and six bezants or, three, two, and one», meaning 6 ordered elements. In these sequences of number arrangements, I prefer to write Arabic numerals rather than words because, at times, the sequences can be long.

Coat of arms interpreted with: the semicircular base shape; the field of plain metal Argent; the fusils illuminated in Gules, outlined in Sable; the fusilly of proportion 3 x 5; and the whole with a raised-stroke effect.
Unlike how I have blazoned it here, this coat of arms can be found blazoned in [Arco y García, F. del; 1996b; page 10] as «Fusilly Argent and Gules».
He was the Genoese leader of the Guelphs who conquered the so-called Rock of Monaco on January 8, 1297, at night. To enter his fortress and have the gates opened for him, he dressed as a Franciscan monk along with his cousin Rainier I, Lord of Cagnes, and thus entered with his group of armed men. That is why the coat of arms of the Principality of Monaco has as supporters 2 Franciscan monks unsheathing their swords.
Francesco Grimaldi had no children, so after his death in 1309, he was succeeded by his cousin Rainier I, with whom he entered Monaco, and it is from Rainier I that the Grimaldi family and the Princes of Monaco who have governed the Principality ever since descend.

The coat of arms of Tomasz Arkadiusz Grzeszkowiak designed by Tomasz Steifer following the Polish heraldic tradition and interpreted by me. In Polish heraldic tradition the color Sable can be over other colors, the color Vert in this case. The following bibliographical references can be consulted about the Polish use of the color Sable over other colors: [Bakala, K.; 2010; page 17] has written «nie pozwala nakladania metalu na metal, a barwy na barwe, za wyjatkiem barwy czarnej i purpurowej» ~ «does not allow to put metal on metal and color on color, except the color Sable and Purpure», notice that Sable and Purpure are the neutral colors whilst Gules, Azure and Vert are energetic colors. [Marecki, J.; 2012; page 67] has written about the rule of colors and metals «wyjatkiem byla czern, która laczono zarówno z metalami, jak i z innymi barwami» ~ «the exception was black, which was combined with both metals and other colors».

Of the twelve lineages of Noblemen, it is the second, descendant of Álava, the very ancient and powerful one, in which some served under Navarre, and others under the kings of Castile; they bear for arms and insignia, on a field Gules, which is red, five poplar-leaves (panelas) Argent, in the form and design in which this shield is painted.
Gules, five Poplar-leaves Argent, inverted.
Escudo de gules, cinco panelas de plata.
Coat of arms interpreted with: a semicircular (round) base; the field in flat Or; the pales outlined in Sable and illuminated in Azure enamel; and finished in highly-hammered metal.
Interpretation based on the second coat of arms of the «ricoshombres» of Navarre from [Bosque, J. del; 1540; folio 1 of the numbering of 1613] and the accompanying text is from the transcription made in [Martinena Ruiz, J. J.; 1982; pages 122 and 123].
The «panela» is a figure typical of Spanish heraldry [Valero de Bernabé, L.; 2007; page 11]. It is a leaf shaped like a heart with its stalk pointing upward. It could be a leaf of a tree such as, for example, the poplar, although there is no certainty that it is specifically that tree.
With first appearances prior to heraldry on Hispano-Roman tombstones, the «panela» is of Alavese origin, [Menéndez Pidal de Navascués, F.; 1985; page 474], spreading through the Basque-Navarrese region and from there throughout Spain, with the peculiar name «panela», which was initially called «pannella», [Valverde Ogallar, P. B.; 2001; page 532] derived from «pan», [Real Academia Española; 2001].
In the heraldry of other countries, leaves from different trees are used as heraldic symbols, but usually with the stalk pointing downward; therefore I transcribe in this blazon «panelas» ~ «Poplar-leaves, inverted».
[Menéndez Pidal de Navascués, F.; 1985; page 474] states that the «panela» is a natural figure equivalent to the linden leaf in German heraldry, with the stalk downward, and to the water-lily leaf in French heraldry, with the stalk upward; but since these are such different plants, I do not find it suitable to use linden, and even less water-lily, in the English transcription of this Navarrese blazon.
Under the title «Surname of Guebara» it can be consulted in [Vega, P. J. de; 1702; folio 2 of the manuscript].

Henry II Plantagenet, King of England, Duke of Normandy, Duke of Aquitaine, Count of Anjou, Count of Maine, and Count of Nantes.
Gules, a lion rampant Or.
Escudo de gules, un león rampante de oro.
Existing arms interpreted by me as follows: the shield's shape is pointed; the field has been enamelled in flat Gules; the lion in Or has been outlined in Sable; and the whole composition has a rough texture finish.
It is believed that Henry I was the first King of England to have a coat of arms, featuring a single lion rampant, but no documentary evidence has yet been found [Rabbow, A.; 1999; paragraph 8].
[Ailes, A.; 1982; page 62] argues that Henry II may have used three different versions of his arms featuring a) a single lion rampant, b) two leopards, and c) three leopards. However, it remains unclear whether these versions were used sequentially over time or concurrently. For this interpretation, I have chosen the version with the lion rampant.

Coat of arms of the Infante Henry of Castile, 1230–1303, 6th offspring of the King Ferdinand III of Castile, 1199-1252, and the Queen Beatrice of Swabia, 1205–1235. He bore his father's arms, replacing the lion Purpure of the Kingdom of León with a cross flory Purpure, likely due to his close association with the Order of Calatrava, whose emblem is a cross flory Gules. However, he retained the metal Argent field in the 2nd and 3rd quarters and the lion's purpure color, suggesting this was more of a conceptual change than a quartering by alliance with the Order of Calatrava.

King of Aragon, Valencia and Majorca, Count of Barcelona, Count of Urgell, Lord of Montpellier and known as the Conqueror
Or, four pallets Gules.
Escudo de oro, cuatro palos de gules.
Coat of arms interpreted by me as follows: the escutcheon shape is semicircular; the field is rendered in flat Or with a watercolored effect; and the pallets are illuminated and finished with a crystalline texture.
A semicircular-shaped shield of Aragon can be seen, for instance, in [Argote de Molina, G.; 1588; chapter XLII].
This shield, but with a pointed base, appears in the second part of the armorial [Wijnbergen; 1265; shield no. 1,293], under the title «Le roy Darragon». This second part was compiled between 1270 and 1285 and, since James I was king of Aragon from 1213 to 1276, it could refer to him; although it might also refer to his son Peter III, the Great, who succeeded James I in 1276.
This coat of arms is also the arms of Aix-en-Provence, granted to that French city, according to tradition, by Alfonso II of Aragon [Aix-en-Provence; 1351], grandfather of James I, the Conqueror.

Coat of arms emblazoned by me, highlighted with lights and shadows, outlined in Sable, with an ogee outer contour and with a watercolor finishing.
Canting arms of Jan Bobor, Slovakia, emblazoned under his directions. In heraldry, the word embattled is usually enough, and even more precise terms such as Ghibelline or swallow-tail crenellations already convey a distinctive image. Yet, in this case, what matters most is not the general heraldic convention, but the particular wish of the armiger. For him, the form of the crenellations is essential because it alludes directly to a specific historical castle: Zvolen Castle in central Slovakia, with its alternating swallow-tails and arched voids. To reflect that connection faithfully, the blazon could indeed be refined to read «a chief embattled of Ghibelline crenellations», or even more precisely, «…of alternating swallow-tails and arched voids».

Regarding this version of the shield of John I, [Humphery-Smith, C.; 1983] writes that «Richard's younger brother John... bore two lions because he was a junior member of the Plantagenet line», thus showing his belonging to a second level of the ruling family, although, after his brother Richard I of England, he not only ended up being king but it was also his line of succession that continued to reign in England.

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 designed by me, illuminated with lights and shadows, contoured in Sable, with a semi-circular outer contour and with a watercolor finish.
In Spanish heraldry, the use of bordures is often a matter of personal preference, in this case, the tinctures and charges on this bordure compony are a proud emblem of the bearer's origins from Utrera, Seville, the white represents the local architecture, the green symbolizes the olive groves, and the bull's head denotes Utrera as the cradle of the brave bull, a reference, along with the castle, to the arms of his town. The Latin motto tells us, «Honor and Truth Always at the Forefront».

Arms painted by me, in plain tinctures, contoured in Sable, with a semi-circular external shape and with a texturized finishing.
Coat of arms of Juan Lanzagorta Aras designed by Juan Lanzagorta Vallín and emblazoned by me. Note that the second quarter begins and ends in Argent; therefore, while the first quarter is properly bendy, having an even number of bands and beginning in Or and ending in Azure, the second is not, as it has an odd number. It is almost impossible to align both quarters so that the wavy bands continue seamlessly from one to the other. Heraldically, such continuity is not required, but artistically it makes much more sense. For this reason, in this case, I chose to prioritize the artistic criterion of continuity, even if the second quarter ends with a small strip of Argent instead of finishing in Azure.

Argent, four leaves of silver-leaved whitebeam (Sorbus Aria Lutescens) in saltire, stems interlaced Vert, on a chief Gules, three crosses of Saint Brigid Argent. Motto: «Family is Everything» Sable, with initial letters Gules, over a scroll Argent.
Kathleen Kane's three recent matrilineal ancestors were all named after the Irish Saint Brigid of the 5th and 6th centuries. With the time, this saint added to her own story some of the characteristics of her namesake, the earlier Celtic goddess of water, poetry, and the alchemical force of fire. She is one of the patron saints of Ireland and her Feast Day is February 1st.
These three women were formidable characters: resilient, resourceful, and independent. Each inspired their daughters to follow in their footsteps, reflecting the attributes associated with Saint Brigid, an icon of strength, piety, resourcefulness, and independence. They are symbolized by the three crosses of Saint Brigid.
Saint Brigid's Crosses, woven from straw or rushes and blessed, are traditionally hung in the rafters or beams of the house to ensure the saint's protection throughout the year for all household members. This symbolism connects the matrilineal ancestors with the home and the protection of the family, which, according to the motto, is everything.
The four leaves of the Silver Leaved Whitebeam represent Kathleen's four children. The interlaced stems symbolize the union of the family and their home in Dún Laoghaire, outside of which this tree grows.

This is the coat of arms of Her Royal Highness Doña Leonor Princess of Asturias, Princess of Girona, and Princess of Viana, heiress of the throne of Spain as the elder daughter of King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia. This version of her coat of arms has been emblazoned by me. The coat of arms of the Princess of Asturias is the same as her father's, the King, but with a mark of cadency which, in heraldic terms, is also know as brisure. In this case, the cadency mark is a label Azure with three points, which will be removed in due course. The label of three points is the main and most classic of the brisures, usually assigned to the eldest heir. It is said to originate from a piece of cloth the son would tie at the top of his shield to distinguish it from his father's. Other common brisures include the crescent, the mullet of five point, the marlet, the annulet, or the fleur de lis. In addition to these simple brisures, there are also combined brisures, which are brisures charged with another or others. For example, a crescent charged with a fleur de lis. Labels may also have their points charged with other marks. Many cadency systems become more complicated as generations progress and branches open up, so they tend to be rarely used except in very clear cases like this one.

Of the twelve lineages of Noblemen, the sixth is that of Lete, from which descended Don Juan Corbarán de Let: they bear as arms, on a field Or, three pots shaped like cauldrons, slightly elongated, as painted in this shield.
Or, three Fleshpot Sable.
Escudo de oro, tres potes de sable.
Coat of arms interpreted with: a semicircular (round) base; the field in flat Or metal; the three pots illuminated in Sable with vertical, but not horizontal symmetry; and finished in highly-hammered metal.

Coat of arms based on the sixth of the Navarrese «ricoshombres» from [Bosque, J. del; 1540; folio 1 of the numbering of 1613]. The text heading this article is taken from the transcription made by [Martinena Ruiz, J. J.; 1982; pages 122 and 123].
Although I have not found any reference about it, it could be considered that originally they might have been canting arms and that these three «potes» could have been milk pots, in reference to their bearers «Lete».
Under the title «Surname of Let» it can also be consulted in [Vega, P. J. de; 1702; folio 6 of the manuscript], although the number has been altered, possibly having been a 5 and perhaps interpreted as an 8, it is deduced by being placed after folio 7.

Guilaberto Lloscós y Soldevilla was grand prior of the Order of Saint John from 1449 to 1460.
Argent, a bull salient Gules within a bordure gyronny Argent and Sable.
Escudo de plata, un toro saltande de gules; bordura jironada de plata y sable.
Illuminated and parchment finishing.
He also known as Guilaberto Loscós y Soldevilla, and his coat of arms can be consulted at [García Carraffa, A.; García Carraffa, A.; 1968; volume II, page 407], who does not depict this bull with its tongue out.
The Lloscós lineage resided on the island of Mallorca and succeeded in the position of royal procurator of the island. Lázaro Lloscós was the procurator of the island in 1332, his son Mateo Lloscós was in 1392 and his grandson Mateo Lloscós was too. Mateo Lloscós helped King Alonso V of Aragon, the Magnanimous, with the expenses of the Naples campaign in 1435 and, therefore, the king donated the town of Bañalbufar and the title of baron. Mateo Lloscós was the father of Guilaberto Lloscós y Soldevilla grand prior of the Order of Saint John.
This bordure presents a dual characteristic. It could be considered a bordure compony because it is composed of a series of segments, in this case, eight. However, since the sides of these segments are not perpendicular to the bordure, but are angled in such a way that all their extended lines would converge at the exact center of the coat of arms, it structurally resembles the division known as gyronny. It is for this reason that, despite its compony appearance, I specifically designate it as a bordure gyronny.
This is a reflection on the tongue out in animals in heraldry. I will rely on the representations found in [Fox-Davies, A. C.; 1909], as it contains numerous representations of animals in the most diverse heraldic attitudes.
In heraldry, tigers [Fox-Davies, A. C.; 1909; figures 322-325], lions, wolves, the bear, etc., are usually represented with the tongue out; they are heraldic beasts and they are carnivores.
However, the fox in [Fox-Davies, A. C.; 1909; figures 343-345] is not painted with the tongue out. It is classified as a heraldic beast and, moreover, it is carnivorous.
The boar is omnivorous, it is a heraldic beast and it is painted with the tongue out, as is done in [Fox-Davies, A. C.; 1909; figures 353-358].
From the above, there is no uniform association between the tongue out and being a heraldic beast or a carnivore.
On the other hand, [Fox-Davies, A. C.; 1909; figures 446-449] classifies eagles as birds, not as beasts; they are carnivorous and are represented with the tongue out. And the dolphin is a fish, it is carnivorous and is also represented with the tongue out [Fox-Davies, A. C.; 1909; figures 479-480].
There are heraldists who say that herbivores are not painted with the tongue out.
But donkeys, mules, and especially the horse are herbivores and they can be seen represented with the tongue out. For example, [Fox-Davies, A. C.; 1909; figures 360 and 362] paints the horse with the tongue out, and in figure 361, with the horse running, he does not paint the tongue out. In no case does he classify it as a heraldic beast.
[Fox-Davies, A. C.; 1909; figures 368 and 370] paints the talbot, the mythical dog of heraldry, with the tongue out rampant and passant; but in more restful attitudes, such as standing and seated, he does not paint it with the tongue out. This could indicate that, when it is calm, it does not put the tongue out. But in the previous paragraph we have seen that he does not paint the horse running with the tongue out, and a horse running is not calm.
The bull [Fox-Davies, A. C.; 1909; figures 375-376] is not painted with the tongue out. However, I paint the bull with the tongue out and, although herbivorous, I claim the fighting bull as one of the most beastly figures of heraldry.
The stag does not carry the tongue out in any of its attitudes in [Fox-Davies, A. C.; 1909; figures 379-386], and other cervids [Fox-Davies, A. C.; 1909; figures 387-390] do not either.
Rams, sheep, lambs, goats [Fox-Davies, A. C.; 1909; figures 395-403] also do not carry the tongue out.
The badger is carnivorous [Fox-Davies, A. C.; 1909; figure 409]; as with the fox, it is carnivorous and does not carry the tongue out.
Therefore, in general, the tongue out cannot be fully associated either with heraldic beasts or with carnivores, just as not carrying the tongue out cannot be associated with herbivores or with calm attitudes. For example, the lion always carries the tongue out, even in its calmest attitudes [Fox-Davies, A. C.; 1909; figures 304-309].
The conclusion is that it is left to the discretion of the heraldic artist to paint or not to paint the tongue out, depending on what he wishes to express. For example, greater aggressiveness, greater movement, or liveliness could be associated with the tongue out.

Coat of arms of María Lobo, Lady of the House of Alvito. This coat of arms has been emblazoned by me. The arms are traditionally associated with the Lobo family of Alvito and are documented in Castilian and Portuguese heraldic and genealogical sources. These arms were equally used by other members of the House of Alvito, such as Ruy Dias Lobo and his descendants. I have emblazoned this coat of arms at the request of Fernando Durán Cabral de Mello d’Alpoim, as he counts the Lobo lineage of Alvito among his ancestors. It is not necessary to say the arrangement of the wolves which is in saltire, that is, 2, 1 and 2, since it is the default arrangement in heraldry for 5 equal charges.

Coat of arms depicted by me, illuminated with lights and shadows, outlined in Sable, with a rounded trapezoidal outer contour and with a texturized finishing.
Coat of arms of Lukas Podlipny, Slovakia, emblazoned by me. These are canting arms, in Slovak, «lipa» ~ linden tree, and the surname Podlipný would mean «under the linden tree», «pod» ~ under, «lip-» ~ linden, hence the arched linden sprigs in the coat of arms. The image shows in 2 stages how I painted it: 1) delineation of the shield, including the calculation of a broad chevron so that the linden sprigs have enough space, since, as has been seen, they are a principal element of these canting arms, and delineation of the 3 linden sprigs, slightly different from each other to fit the shape of its space; 2) finished shield with highlights and shading.

Coat of arms of Her Excellency Ratu Muda Malka Bas Reuven emblazoned by me with a shape known as a vesica piscis, and with the blazon written in English and Castilian in a structured way to observe the parallelism between both forms. My experience is that if shield shapes are named after countries, this creates problems in an international context. For example, if the shield with a rounded base is called a «Spanish shield», sooner or later someone will point out that the same shape is also used in Portugal, Hungary, or Poland, making it not exclusively Spanish. For this reason, I avoid assigning shield shapes names based on countries or kingdoms and instead give them names that describe their formal characteristics, which is not always easy. For example, I call the «semi-circular shield» in English and «escudo de medio punto» in Castilian to the commonly referred as «Spanish», or the «ogee shield» one that ends in an inverted ogee arch, «conopial» in Castilian. Despite this, at some point, breaking my own rule, I used the term «Bantu» to refer to the almond-shaped shield, only to be quickly corrected and informed of its connection to other African kingdoms. My mistake was not using the name I had always given it: «mandorla» in Castilian and «vesica piscis» in English.

Coat of arms of the Infante Manuel of Castile, 1234–1283, 7th son of the King Ferdinand III of Castile, 1199-1252, and the Queen Beatrice of Swabia, 1205–1235. They are canting arms of «Manuel» ~ «manu–el» ~ «mano–ala» ~ «hand–wing». For this reason, I describe it as a hand with a wing and not as a wing with a hand. Another theory suggests that, since his maternal grandmother was Irene Ángelo, daughter of the Byzantine Emperor Isaac II Angelos, the 2nd and 3rd quarters derive from this lineage. However, this Byzantine emperor did not have a coat of arms in the Western heraldic sense, let alone one featuring an angel's wing wielding a sword. A synthetic theory could be proposed, combining the concept of canting arms with angelic symbolism, referencing his descent from the emperors of Byzantium, something that was undoubtedly of great importance to him. There are explanations about this in [Menéndez Pidal de Navascués, F.; 1982, pages 98-100]. And what's more important, they are not a quartering by inheritance; quarters 2nd and 3rd are inherited, but quarters 1st and 4th are conceptually invented, which opens up the creative field.

Heraldic badge of Marcio Vieira Nastri designed by him and emblazoned by me. It is a canting badge. The image combines a photograph of a drawing of a ribbon shaped like an «M», together with his badge, both painted by me. 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.

Or, three pallets Vair.
Arms interpreted by me, in flat tinctures, outlined in Sable, with an ogee outer contour and with a texturized finish.
The coat of arms of the Marquis Prato di Arnesano, requested by Andrea Tamburelli Lanzara di Pietragavina and painted by me. Vair is a fur, and furs are repetitive combinations of a metal and a color. In the case of vair, the metal is Argent and the color is Azure. Because they simultaneously include both a metal and a color, furs are exempt from the rule of tincture, as they would inevitably violate it, either through their metal or color component. In this coat of arms, the pallets of vair lies on a field of metal Or, and it might be thought that the metal Argent in the vair breaks the rule. However, as mentioned, the rule of tincture does not apply to furs due to their dual nature.

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».

The arms of His Majesty King Felipe VI of Spain emblazoned by me. Francisco Domingo Larrosa Gil reminds me that in the original design, the pearls in the center of the crown's rosettes of acanthus leaves were always painted white, as were the pearls interspersed between these rosettes. However, recently, they have been colored azure. For instance, in the Official State Gazette, BOE of Spain, of June 21, 2014, which established the guidon and the banner of His Majesty King Felipe VI, the interior of the fleurons is colored azure, so much so that they assign it Pantone blue P-301. As we know, assigning Pantones makes no sense heraldically. In this version, I paint as pearls both those in the center of the rosettes and those interspersed between them. The definition provided by the Royal Household does not specify what lies in the center of the fleurons, which could potentially be empty; thus, the Royal Household states: «a closed crown, which is a circle of gold, with an inset of precious stones in their colours, composed of eight rosettes of acanthus leaves, of which five are visible, interspersed with pearls in their own colour, issuing from which are eight pearl diadems, of which five are visible, which converge in a blue orb, with gold semi-meridian and equator, surmounted by a gold cross, the crown lined with red», in my blazon, I limit myself to defining it as a closed royal crown.

Coat of arms designed by me, in plain tinctures, contoured in Sable, with a semi-circular outer contour and with a texturized finish.
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.
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 depicted by me, illuminated with lights and shadows, outlined in Sable, and with a watercolor finish.
Coat of arms of Ria Persad, from Trinidad and Tobago (birth), India and Japan (ancestry), and USA (residence). Her coat of arms has been designed by her, by Rudolph Juchter van Bergen Quast of the Netherlands, and by Kevin D. Couling of the United Kingdom, resident in New Zealand, and painted by me, from the Kingdom of Spain.
Mathematician and astrophysicist from Harvard and Princeton Universities, as well as a classical musician, she represents a woman of the world—scientific and with diverse roots, who expresses her identity through a symbolic language of her own creation. Her design and execution are the result of an international team, in service of an equally international woman, and reflect a path of evolution toward which heraldry is advancing. The Kramer parrot (Psittacula krameri, Indian Ringneck) is shown in its natural colour. It is her favourite animal and at the same time evokes her Indian heritage. The red chrysanthemum, painted in a Japanese style, refers to her Japanese ancestry. The atom symbolises her education and professional career in the field of science. Blue, which dominates the whole, is her favourite colour.

Within personal heraldry, I classify the arms of individuals, their families, or lineages.
When a coat of arms representing a person, such as in the case of a king, is also used to represent something else, such as their kingdom, I classify it as personal heraldry, prioritizing the representation of the individual over other possible uses, as this is the origin of heraldry.
The historical arms of Carlos de la Cerda or the current ones of Austin Charles Berry and of Stephan Urs Breu are examples of personal heraldry.
In Spanish, I use the name given by [Cadenas y Vicent, V. de; 1975; page 53] and in English «personal heraldry», which is the most commonly accepted term.

Arms interpreted with: a shield shaped as a triangle with curved sides; the chequey pattern in flat metal Or and colour Sable; and a heavily beaten metal finish.
[Avilés, J.; 1780a; page 286] states that he will call «Chequey those ordinaries composed of these small squares, which alternate between metal and colour, or vice versa, just like the boards of those Games.» and he also writes regarding the usual number of panes that «it must have six ranks or rows of these squares, though it is not necessary to specify their number, or at least the shield must include more than fifteen panes; it is only required, to properly blazon it, to always observe the first square, which is in the chief dexter; so that, if this is Or, and the one that follows is Gules, it is said to be Chequey Or and Gules, and so with other colours and metals.»
Although Ponce initially proclaimed himself count of the county of Urgell without sufficient rights, the death of the legitimate heiress and his agreements and assistance to king James I of Aragon enabled him to legalise his title. During this process, the capital of the county ceased to be the municipality of Balaguer only to eventually become it once again.

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.

To standout attributes is a characteristic of the heraldry, which means great eyes, tongues, claws,... and of course sex.

[Menéndez Pidal de Navascués, F.; 1988; page 537] tells us that, unlike other more territorial emblems, «from his earliest seal the pallets appear on the shield of the equestrian figures on both sides, and in line with this configuration the emblem is inherited, without distinction, by his three sons and all his grandsons... it seems one must conclude that the emblem had a familial, not territorial, character from the very beginning».

Coat of arms interpreted in the following manner: the shape of the base is semicircular; the field is illuminated in Gules; the fusils outlined in Sable and illuminated in metal Argent; the fess is 5 fusils in length; and the whole with an iridescent finish.
I tend to blazon «Gules, a fess of five fusils Argent» ~ «Escudo de gules, una faja de cinco fusos de plata» which, as the piece called a fess touches the edges of the shield and is a unit, means the fusils touch the edges of the shield and touch each other, forming a single fess of 5.
While in the blazon «Gules, five fusils in fess Argent.» ~ «Escudo de gules, cinco fusos en faja de plata» the fusils neither touch each other nor the edges of the shield; this second blazon tells us that the fusils are «in fess» ~ «en faja», it does not tell us that they are forming a fess.

Lionheart ~ Corazón de León ~ Cœur de Lion.
Escudo de gules, dos leones de oro, afrontados, armados y lampasados de azur.
Coat of arms interpreted as follows: the mouth drawn as a semicircular (round) base; the field enamelled in a flat tint of Gules; the two lions outlined in the colour of the field and illuminated in Or and Azure; and the whole finished with a watercolour effect.
He was born in 1157, being the third of eight children of Henry II of England and Eleanor of Aquitaine, elder brother of Eleanor Plantagenet. He was king of England between 1189 and 1199, although he spent much of his life far from it; in fact, during his ten-year reign, he was on English soil only twice, which together did not amount even to six months. He died in 1199 in Normandy.
In 1198, during the Battle of Gisors, he supposedly used, as watchword or as motto, the expression «Dieu et mon Droit ~ God and my right». This phrase refers to his refusal to bow before Emperor Henry VI, since by his rank Richard acknowledged only God as superior. Later, Henry V of England adopted it as his motto, and since then it has been used by the British monarchy.
According to [Humphery-Smith, C.; 1983], Richard the Lionheart was the first English king who can be proved to have borne arms, although some of his predecessors may also have had them. He bases his statement on the existence of two seals of Richard I: on one, Richard bears a shield with a rampant lion, and on the other there already appear the three lions that are the forerunners of the arms of England. The use of this second seal does not imply that he stopped using the first.
In contrast, there are also British authors who maintain that his shield actually bore two affronted lions; this hypothesis is based on the lion on his first seal facing to sinister. That latter hypothesis is the one interpreted in this shield, remaining a purely artistic interpretation and without my entering into a complex and open discussion about how, when, and why the three leopards, «leones pasantes ~ lions passant» for the English, appeared —a discussion in which there are various alternatives— ranging from the combination of his hereditary arms to the wish to have more lions than his younger brother, who would later be King John I of England, to possible influences from other European realms.
This version of Richard I’s shield is similar to the imaginary shield of Hector of Troy, Gules with two lions Or affronté, which is a term used when «two things are placed facing each other, like two Lions, two Dogs, or other animals that look at one another» [Avilés, J.; 1725a; page 32].

Gules, a cross Argent.
Escudo de gules, una cruz de plata.
Coat of arms of the House of Savoy and the Duchy of Savoy, which I have interpreted as follows: the shield has a semicircular (round) base; the field is illuminated in flat tincture Gules; the cross is illuminated in Argent; and the whole coat of arms is rendered with a raised-stroke effect.
This coat of arms is both familial and political, for it is also the coat of arms of the French departments of Savoy and Haute-Savoie, both belonging to the Rhône-Alpes region.
The cross in this shield is an honourable ordinary, for it is a full cross, the result of combining a fess and a pale. This full cross is wide and reaches the edges of the shield and is therefore large enough to bear charges. For this reason these ordinaries are called “honourable,” because they may be honoured with additional charges. In English heraldry they are known as «ordinaries», [The Heraldry Society; 2013; page 11].
This coat of arms is recorded in the armorial [Marshal, L.; 1295; shield number 32] together with the text «Le Counte de Sauveys, Gules a cross argent, Amadeus V, Comte de Savoie».

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

Sable, a tyger rampant Argent; a bordure Argent charged with eight crosses crosslet fitchy Sable.

Arms depicted by me, illuminated with lights and shadows, outlined in Sable, with a pointed external shape and with a watercolor finishing.
Coat of arms of the Lord of South Clifton emblazoned by me. In heraldry, there are two types of tigers with specific names in both English and Castilian: the «tyger» in English I call «tigre heráldico» in Castilian, and the «tiger» in English I refer to as «tigre» in Castilian, omitting the Bengal qualifier that some authors use for the natural tiger. According to [Fox-Davies, A. C.; 1909; page 191, figures 322-325], the differences between these two representations are significant. The «tyger», or «tigre heráldico», is a fantastical animal, created from the imagination of medieval artists who were unfamiliar with the real animal but knew of its existence through distant descriptions. This heraldic tyger has a body resembling that of the natural tiger, but with a mane like that of a lion, a tufted tail, and a peculiar head that looks more like a wolf than a natural tiger. Additionally, it lacks the characteristic stripes of the Bengal tiger. Recall that the heraldic panther is also an example of a fantastical animal, breathing fire from its nose and ears and covered in colorful spots. On the other hand, the natural «tiger», identified as the «Bengal tiger» by [Fox-Davies, A. C.; 1909; page 191, figures 324-325], appears in heraldry later and is a more realistic depiction of the animal as it exists in nature.

This is an schema to draw and standard. I do not use a fixed geometry, but in this case, I draw a 1/2 ratio between hightest side h at the flagpole and the diameter d of the circle on the end (see the lines and text Gules in the schema). The lenght of the standard depends on the bearer range and the kingdom, there are tables, but I only use them under the bearer instrucctions.
Be aware about how to split the motto, the 1st line on the left (from the observer point of view, the heraldic dexter) and the 2nd line on the right (from the observer point of view, the heraldic sinister).
The coat of arms is near the flagpole and I use to make enough space for a shield with a 5/6 ratio between its base and its height (lines and text Vert in the schema).

The ancient arms of the family Tamburelli, Lords of Pietra Gravina, as used by Don Eugenio Ugo Augusto Tamburelli, emblazoned by me. These arms have been requested by Andrea Tamburelli Lanzara di Pietragavina. There are heraldists who consider the chief to be an ordinary, and therefore a metal chief on a metal field violates the rule of tincture, which prohibits metal on metal, I share this view. Others understand the chief as a division of the field, and thus a metal chief may appear next to a metal field without breaking the rule. For this reason, in these cases, I use the term «cousu» not as a heraldic attribute or a justification, but rather as a signal that, depending on whether the chief is seen as an ordinary or a field division, this arrangement may or may not be problematic. It also serves to show that I am fully aware of the issue. In Italy, and this is an Italian coat of arms, there are numerous arms with an eagle displayed Sable over a chief Or, which clearly corresponds to the imperial arms, «Or, an eagle displayed Sable». These chiefs have their origin in the Guelph and Ghibelline conflicts, the papacy against the empire, with the Ghibellines, supporters of the Holy Roman Empire, frequently adopting the so-called «capo dell'Impero», a chief Or with an eagle Sable, as a symbol of their allegiance to the Emperor. Many of these «capo dell'Impero» resulted metal on metal.

Countess of Urgell, Viscountess of Ager, Lady of Alcolea de Cinca, died in 1327.
Dimidiated: 1 Or, four pallets Gules; 2 chequey Or and Sable.
Escudo dimidiado: 1o de oro, cuatro palos de gules; 2o ajedrezado de oro y sable.
Arms interpreted with: a round-bottom shield; all tinctures in flat Or, Gules, and Sable; and a heavily beaten metal finish.
A dimidiated coat of arms is the result of combining two shields of arms by taking the dexter half of the first and the sinister half of the second.
Dimidiation was used in the 13th and 14th centuries to combine, for instance, the arms of two families.
Its blazoning method does not consist of describing what appears in each of the resulting quarters, but rather, by stating from the beginning that it is dimidiated, describing the original coats of arms. Thus, in this particular case of the arms of Teresa of Entenza, it is not stated that there are only two pallets in the first quarter, but that it is dimidiated and has four pallets, so the reader must know that from the four pallets, only the first two are visible due to the dimidiation.
This method of dimidiating the arms of predecessors results in very beautiful and original designs, but depending on the charges and figures involved, in other cases the result may be unrecognisable or even absurd.

Lozengy Or and Azure, on a pale Gules, three estoiles Or.
Escudo losanjado oro y azur, en un palo de gules, tres estrella ondadas de oro.
Coat of arms interpreted in the following manner: the shape of the base is semicircular; the field has been enameled in Azure; the lozenges with their 4 rectangular and equal angles, are outlined in Sable and illuminated in metal Or; the lozengy is 6 lozenges wide by 7 lozenges high; the pale outlined in Sable and illuminated in Gules; the estoiles with 6 wavy rays outlined in Sable and illuminated in metal Or; and the whole with a rough finish.
The term in Castilian for the «estrellas ondadas» (wavy stars) is «Estrella» (star) alone, which, like other figures, if not blazoned, is assumed to have 5 straight rays unless another number is stated.
The English term «estoile», which is used in this blazon, as opposed to «mullet», refers to a star of 6 wavy rays ~ «six points and wavy», which in heraldry are called wavy. Sometimes, and depending on the era, these differences may not have been so clear.

Coat of arms of the House of Trastámara, founded by Enrique of Trastámara, later King Henry II of Castile, son of Alfonso XI and his mistress Leonor de Guzmán. Adopted at birth by Rodrigo Álvarez de las Asturias, he inherited the lordship of the County of Noreña the following year upon his adoptive father’s death. 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 2nd and 3rd quarters.
