Coat of arms interpreted with: a semicircular (round) base; the field and the chief watercolored in the flat tinctures Purpure and Azure; and the charges illuminated, outlined in Sable, with a very hammered metal finish.
Although it is a university of recent creation, in 1994, its best-known campus is the so-called Hospital del Rey, located on the edge of the Way of St. James and originally intended to care for pilgrims and founded, in 1195, by Alfonso VIII of Castile and Eleanor Plantagenet. The effigies of both monarchs decorate the main gate of the Hospital, called the Gate of the Pilgrims, which is, in turn, the symbol of the University of Burgos.
Regarding the escallop (venera), [Valero de Bernabé, L.; Márquez de la Plata, V. M.; 2003; page 197] notes that among the wide variety of shells, it is the scallop or pilgrim’s shell that is most used in heraldry and in blazons it is named «venera», and that it is drawn with its concave side against the field and its convex side visible, with its ribs vertical and its ears (auricles) toward the chief of the shield, and that when the concave side is shown one must specify it in the blazon as «alzada», and when the ears are in a different tincture it is said «orejada», for example, «an escallop Or, its ears Gules».

I have the honour of holding a Master’s Degree in Business Administration from IESE of the University of Navarra. I always say that, as a whole, the IESE Executive MBA is the best education I have received throughout my life. I keep very good memories and friends from those two years of study.

Gules: a warren hound parado statant Or; a base hearty Or.
Escudo de gules: un podenco parado de oro; la campaña encajada de corazones de oro.
Coat of arms that I have created with: the shield’s shape pointed and rounded; its field painted in flat tint gules; the warren hound and the base hearty are illuminated Or and delineated Sable; and the whole is executed in raised-line drawing.
A base made of generous hearts Or, interlocked with hearts Gules, red as blood, gives its support to a Spanish warren hound standing upon it. They are the hearts of those who love, protect and care for the hounds, intertwined with the hearts of the hounds whose noble heartbeats are evoked in the motto.
The founders of this Spanish warren hound shelter did not wish for a dog armed and langued, since those heraldic attributes would imply that the animal is not truly in need of protection. They preferred instead to highlight the podenco’s loyalty and faithfulness.
In English heraldry, ordinary lines of partition such as «almenado» ~ «embattled», «acanalado» ~ «invected», or «angrelado» ~ «engrailed» have well-established names. There is, however, no general rule for blazoning lines formed by repeated and more elaborate figures, such as fir trees, fleurs de lis, or other shapes.
Each case tends to receive a descriptive or newly coined term, such as «sapiné» or «flory» «flory counterflory», in these last two cases depending on whether the figures all point in one direction or alternate upward and downward.
Note that in «sapiné» the charm lies precisely in that alternation: the fir trees point alternately upward and downward, so that the figures interlock with each other.
Therefore, if a new figure appears, such as the heart in this case, with hearts pointing upward, one might say «hearty» or, more specifically, «hearty counterhearty»; but following the example of «sapiné», we shall simply blazon «hearty».
For example, the line formed by dovetail shapes, called «dovetailed» in English, is blazoned in Spanish as «encajada de colas de milano», even changing the name of the bird. Note that in this case they interlock precisely because some point upward and others downward, hence their use in joinery, cabinetry, and related arts.
In Spanish there are classical terms for the most common forms, such as «almenado», «acanalado» or «angrelado», with «encajado» ~ «dancetty» being perhaps the most characteristic, where the angles interlock alternately upward and downward.
When facing new or uncommon shapes, instead of inventing a new term we prefer to use the basic one, «encajado», adding afterwards the specific figure that forms the interlock, for example, «encajado de abetos» ~ «sapiné».
Thus, in this case we blazon «the base hearty», with the hearts alternating upward and downward, just as in the traditional «encajado» the angles alternate both ways.

Gules, two Axes Argent, hafted Or, addorsed, issuant from the base; overall, at the nombril, an Escutcheon Or.
Escudo de gules, dos hachas adosadas de plata, fustadas de oro, movientes de la punta; brochante sobre el todo, en el ombligo, un escudete de oro.
Coat of arms interpreted with: the semicircular shape; its field illuminated with Gules; its figures and escutcheon illuminated with Or and Argent and outlined in Sable; and with a free hand texture.
A distinctive feature of this coat of arms is that its escutcheon, instead of being overall in the center, is positioned on a point of the coat of arms called the nombril, which, as we learn from [Avilés, J.; 1725a; page 159 and illustration 19] and also [Avilés, J.; 1780a; pages 147 and 148], in «Heraldry, the nombril of the coat of arms, is the place through which the human body receives nourishment in the mother's womb, and in the shield, it corresponds to the point where the fess ends and the base begins.».
If this escutcheon, «escudete» in Castilian, had been positioned in the center of the coat of arms, then it would have to be blazoned as the piece called an inescutcheon, «escusón» in Castilian. In fact, the Norsk Heraldisk Forening uses the English term «escutcheon» to describe the blazon of its arms.

The Royal Association of Hidalgos of Spain was founded under the name «Asociación de Hidalgos, Infanzones y Noblezas a Fuero de España» by Vicente and Francisco de Cadenas y Vicent, the Marquises of Siete Iglesias and of Zayas, and also by Valentín Dávila Jalón, Marquis of Dávila.
This association brings together nobles of Spanish lineages with the aim of maintaining and promoting the traditional values of the hidalguía and is inspired by the principles of Christian humanism. It fulfills its duty to provide services to Spain, its institutions and its citizens, with loyalty to the Crown and commitment to Spanish culture and history.
Its magazine Hidalgos, also known as «La Gacetilla de Hidalgos de España», or simply «La Gacetilla», as this was its name until the end of 2010, precisely until its issue 524 of October, November and December 2010. This magazine is an excellent source of knowledge and information, and some of its articles are cited throughout Blason.es, for example, those by [Valero de Bernabé, L.; 2009b], [Valero de Bernabé, L.; 2010] and [Valero de Bernabé, L.; 2012b].
In saltire arrangements, I prefer to place the element in bend over the element in bend sinister, since the bend takes precedence over the bend sinister. Therefore, in my interpretation of this coat of arms and unlike other interpretations, the two-handed sword placed in bend is drawn above the one placed in bend sinister.

The Royal Spanish Academy was founded in 1713 on the initiative of Juan Manuel Fernández Pacheco, eighth Marquess of Villena and Duke of Escalona, with the aim of «fixing the words and vocabulary of the Castilian language in its greatest propriety, elegance, and purity». A year later, in 1714, its creation was approved by a Royal Decree of Philip V.
To symbolize its purpose, its emblem with a crucible to the fire and its motto «Limpia, fija y da esplendor» [Zamora Vicente, A.; 1999] were chosen by secret ballot. In some old versions of this emblem the motto can be read with the term «fixa» and a comma before the conjunction, that is, «Limpia, fixa, y da esplendor».
This article is illustrated with my personal interpretation of this emblem of the Royal Spanish Academy, crested with a closed royal crown of 8 arches, of which the 5 frontal ones are completely visible.
In this, as in any of my works, I always consult its dictionaries, almost as much, as the most interesting and specific works on the subject of study.

Within socioeconomic heraldry, I classify the arms of all collectives not included in the previous categories, such as, for example, commercial societies, which may represent companies, their brands, and products, sports clubs and federations, associations, professional colleges, educational institutions, arms granted or assumed collectively, etc.
For example, the coats of arms of universities, both private and public, belong to this category, the former naturally and the latter considering their appropriate autonomy from state powers. In this way, the coat of arms of the IESE, as a business school, is an example of socioeconomic heraldry.
Also included are the coats of arms of associations, like the Norsk Heraldisk Forening, and of companies, such as the arms of Alea Capital.
This category partially coincides with what [Cadenas y Vicent, V. de; 1975; page 119] refers to as «representative heraldry».

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

Emblem Azure, Saint Michael Argent, vested and nimbed Or, grasping in his dexter hand a spear Or, point downward, and in his sinister hand bearing [ Gules, a chain orlewise, crosswise, and saltirewise Or, charged in the fess point with an emerald Vert, of Navarre ], upon a dragon Vert, armed, langued, fanged, and the eyes Gules. Motto: «Universitas Studiorum Navarrensis».
Emblema de azur, un San Miguel de plata, vestido y nimbado de oro, teniendo en su diestra una lanza de oro, con la punta hacia abajo y en su siniestra trae [ escudo gules, una cadena puesta en orla, en cruz y en sotuer de oro, cargada en el centro de una esmeralda de sinople, de Navarra ], sostenido por un dragón de sinople, armado, lampasado, fierezado y encendido de gules.

Emblem interpreted as follows: oval in shape and more rounded than the original; the field illuminated in Azure; its charges illuminated in Gules, Vert, Argent, and Or, and outlined in Sable; the emerald represented by an enameled area Vert; and the whole emblem has a parchment-like finish.
The archangels Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael are angels; therefore, I classify this emblem both under the category archangel and under angel, while Saint Michael himself is represented in it as a male figure.
Saint Michael the Archangel, in this representation, bears a shield which, at first, I blazon as the current coat of arms of Navarre, chains of gold, the original arms of Navarre being as blazoned in the armorial [Urfé; 15th century; folio 142]: «Gules, a carbuncle Or pommelly, illuminated Vert in the centre in the manner of an emerald». This description does not suggest the presence of chains, but rather the rays of a carbuncle, nor an actual emerald, since what corresponds to the central umbo from which the rays of the carbuncle emerge is enameled Vert.
Due to my way of painting the arms of Navarre in profile, it stands halfway between a carbuncle and chains, with the outer links round like those of a chain, the central ones long like the rays of a carbuncle, and in the centre I have not drawn an emerald, but an enameled area Vert «in the manner of an emerald».
