This is the coat of arms of Abdulelah Alyahya (Riyadh, Saudi Arabia), designed by Vittorio Gifra (Italy) under his instructions, revised by Bob Juchter van Bergen Quast (Netherlands) and Kevin D. Couling (United Kingdom), and emblazoned by me (Spain). The arms reflect the heritage of the Alyahya family, descendants of the ancient tribe of Beno Tamim (Altamimi) and linked to the modern origins of Saudi Arabia. These arms exemplify how modern heraldry operates on a global scale, the process involved several countries: a design originating in Italy following the instructions of the armiger in Saudi Arabia, revised by experts in the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, and rendered by me in Spain, it serves as an example of international collaboration within the field. In English I use the word «motto», but in Spanish I usually use the word «lema»; however, when the text identifies the armiger, as in this case, I use the word «divisa».

Blasón de Navarra en el armorial Urfé

UrfeXV 22 Rey de Navarra jpg

Escudo de gules, un carbunclo cerrado, pomelado de oro; cargado en el centro de una esmeralda en forma de losange de sinople.

The armorial [Urfé; 15th century] contains only blazons written in French and is not decorated with shields.

The image shows my interpretation of the arms and, beneath it, the blazon of the king of Navarre as follows «Le Roy de Navarre... de gueles à l'escarboucle d'or pommelée alumée de sinoble en la moyenne en guise d'esmeraude» which could be translated as «The King of Navarre... Gules, a carbuncle Or pommetty, illuminated Vert in the middle in the manner of an emerald».

Note that the blazon does not suggest the presence of an emerald, but that the place corresponding to the central boss of the shield, from which the rays of the carbuncle emerge, is enamelled Vert.

In the article Universitas Studiorum Navarrensis about the arms of the University of Navarre I interpret the arms of Navarre borne in profile by the Archangel Saint Michael, which, by my way of painting it, lies halfway between the carbuncle and the chains, with round chain links and long carbuncle rays, where at the centre there is no emerald, but a Vert enamel in the manner of an emerald.

Bosque, J. del; 1540

Main coat of arms of the Armory Book of the Kingdom of Navarre

Juan del Bosque, «Libro de Armería del Reino de Navarra», which is currently missing and whose subsequent copy, commissioned in 1572, is kept in the Royal and General Archive of Navarre, estimated year of creation 1540.


The origin of this armorial dates back to 1527, when the Navarrese Courts requested that the Royal Council and the Chamber of Comptos ~ Chamber of Accounts and Fiscal Control, record in a book the coats of arms of the kingdom of Navarre starting with that of the king of Navarre and the houses and lineages of the so-called «ricoshombres», Almorrabides, Guebara, Aybar, Baztanes, Urroz, Lete, Subiça, Rada, Vidaurre, Qasqante, Monteagudo, and Mauleón, also including the coats of arms of other manors, houses, valleys, towns, and nobles [Valverde Ogallar, P. B.; 2001; page 326].

According to [Martinena Ruiz, J. J.; 1982; page 35] the book was compiled around the year 1540, and this is the date I use for referencing this armorial.

This first manuscript created by Juan del Bosque was taken by the royal visitor Hernán Suárez de Toledo, under the pretext of taking it to Emperor Charles V, despite being requested back by the Navarrese Courts, it was never returned and was definitively lost. The armorial that has come down to us is a recreation commissioned in 1572 [Valverde Ogallar, P. B.; 2001; page 327].

According to [Menéndez Pidal de Navascués, F.; 1974; page 19] the recreation of this armorial was carried out based on certifications, such as those from the herald Azcárraga, and notes and partial copies of the stolen book, like the copy kept in the monastery of Leyre.

Another noteworthy bibliographic reference about this armorial, in addition to those previously mentioned, is [Martinena Ruiz, J. J.; Menéndez Pidal de Navascués, F.; 2001].

The image illustrating this bibliographic reference is the coat of arms of the king of Navarre, which I recreated based on the illustration in this armorial, on its first folio according to the numbering given to it in 1613.

Imaginary coat of arms created by me with the following characteristics: its shape is semicircular; its field is enameled with flat tinctures of Purpure, Vert, Azure, Sable, Or, and Argent; all of its figures are illuminated and enameled in Or, except for the heart, which is Gules; and the whole composition has a watercolor finish.

Within the article on my approach to heraldic classification, you can find the symbolism contained within this shield and its category within heraldry.

The original shield design, along with many others, is registered in [Salmerón Cabañas, A.; 2015a; page 30].

All colors and metals

The heraldic colors Gules, Azure, Vert, Sable, and Purpure can be divided into two sets:

  • the energetic colors Gules, Azure, and Vert, and

Therefore, the Sable-Purpure combination is not the most vibrant.

I use both Sable and Purpure in this design because it incorporates all five colors and both metals, Or and Argent, representing different heraldic disciplines. Note that I have placed Purpure and Sable far apart, precisely due to the initial explanation.

Argent, a cross of Alcantara. Crest: A closed royal crown Or, with eight arches, visible five. Behind the shield the Laureate Grand Cross of Saint Ferdinand. Motto: «Hoec nubila tollunt obstantia sicut sol».

Escudo de plata, una cruz de Alcántara. Timbrado de una corona real cerrada. Acolada detrás del escudo la gran cruz laureada de San Fernando. Lema: «Hoec nubila tollunt obstantia sicut sol».

Coat of arms interpreted in the following manner: the shape of the shield is of a semicircular arch; the field is illuminated in metal Argent; the cross of Alcantara, the 4 swords and the 2 laurel branches are outlined in Sable and illuminated in Vert and Gules; the royal crown is closed, outlined in Sable and illuminated with the metal Or, Argent for the pearls, Azure and Or for the orb, Gules and Vert for the gems, Gules for the inner cloth, and Sable for the visible hollow at its base; and the whole has a iridescent finish.

Rif War, July 23, 1921, banks of the Igan River, North Africa

The Alcantara Regiment executed nine successive cavalry charges to protect the infantry's retreat, nine charges until they broke the enemy lines, outnumbering them. The last charge was on foot because all their horses were dead or exhausted. These heroic riders of Alcantara had fulfilled their duty of protecting the wounded infantry in their retreat to El Batel, but the price was appalling: of 691 riders, only 67 survived, and three months were necessary to recover hundreds of corpses.

For this reason, in 2012, the Alcántara Regiment was collectively awarded the Grand Laureate Cross of Saint Ferdinand.

Two lances behind the shield

Since 1987, the coat of arms of the cavalry regiments of the Spanish Army must carry two crossed lances accolade behind the shield. And indeed, this coat of arms of the Alcántara Cavalry Regiment has two lances behind the shield, but in my artistic heraldic interpretation, I did not paint them to avoid detracting from the prominence of the Laureate Cross.

Tongues out

This is a reflection on tongues protruding in animals in heraldry. I will rely on the representations in [Fox-Davies, A. C.; 1909], which include numerous depictions of animals in a wide range of heraldic attitudes.

In heraldry, tigers [Fox-Davies, A. C.; 1909; figures 322–325], lions, wolves, bears, etc., are commonly shown with their tongues out. These are heraldic beasts and carnivores.

However, the fox [Fox-Davies, A. C.; 1909; figures 343–345] is not shown with its tongue out. It is classified as a heraldic beast and is also carnivorous.

The boar is an omnivore, a heraldic beast, and is depicted with its tongue out [Fox-Davies, A. C.; 1909; figures 353–358].

From this, it’s clear that having the tongue out is not uniformly associated with being a heraldic beast or being carnivorous.

On the other hand, [Fox-Davies, A. C.; 1909; figures 446–449] classifies eagles as birds, not beasts. They are carnivorous and shown with their tongues out.

Dolphins, which are carnivorous fish, are also depicted with tongues protruding [Fox-Davies, A. C.; 1909; figures 479–480].

Some heraldists claim that herbivores are never shown with their tongues out.

But donkeys, mules, and especially horses —all herbivores— can indeed be shown with tongues out. For example, [Fox-Davies, A. C.; 1909; figures 360 and 362] depict horses with tongues out, though figure 361, where the horse is running, does not. In no case are horses classified as heraldic beasts.

[Fox-Davies, A. C.; 1909; figures 368 and 370] show the talbot, the mythical heraldic dog, with its tongue out when rampant or passant, but not when standing or seated. This might suggest that a protruding tongue is related to dynamic postures. However, we saw in the previous paragraph that a running horse isn’t necessarily drawn that way.

The bull [Fox-Davies, A. C.; 1909; figures 375–376] is not depicted with its tongue out. Nevertheless, I do paint bulls with tongues protruding. And although bulls are herbivores, I defend the heraldic bull as one of the most beastly figures in heraldry.

Stags never appear with tongues out in any of their postures [Fox-Davies, A. C.; 1909; figures 379–386], nor do other cervids [Fox-Davies, A. C.; 1909; figures 387–390] as the roe deer of this coat of arms.

Rams, sheep, lambs, and goats also do not [Fox-Davies, A. C.; 1909; figures 395–403].

The badger, like the fox, is carnivorous [Fox-Davies, A. C.; 1909; figure 409], yet also lacks a protruding tongue.

In conclusion, a protruding tongue cannot be consistently associated with heraldic beasts or carnivores. Nor can the absence of a tongue be linked solely to herbivores or to peaceful postures. For instance, lions are always shown with tongues out, even in their calmest attitudes [Fox-Davies, A. C.; 1909; figures 304–309].

Ultimately, it is up to the heraldic artist to decide whether to depict the tongue, depending on what they want to express. Greater aggression, motion, or liveliness may justify a protruding tongue. As a symbol of liveliness and agility, in this case, but perhaps not in others, I paint this roe deer with its tongue hanging out.

Coat of Arms of Ugnius Mikucionis in Twelve Lineages

Coat of arms of Ugnius Mikucionis, Twelve Lineages

Publication of my interpretation of the arms of Ugnius Mikucionis, on the blog Twelve Lineages of Soria with the article titled: The eminent heraldist Mr. Antonio Salmerón Cabañas interprets the coat of arms of Ugnius Mikucionis (Lithuania and Norway).

Blazon in Spanish by Alfonso de Ceballos-Escalera y Gila, Chronicler of Arms of Castile and León, from his certification of arms: «Vert, a Latin cross made of a wooden staff, raguly, from whose sinister flank issues a leafy branch that encircles the cross from above and entwines over its base, all Or. Crested with a steel helmet affronty, torse Or and Vert, with mantling Vert doubled Or. For crest, the same raguly Latin cross, branched and leafed, Or, placed before two wings Vert».

Blazon in English by The South African Bureau of Heraldry, from its certification of arms: «Vert, a wooden staff, its upper end terminating in a Latin cross, raguly, couped at random, issuant from its sinister nombril point a leaved offshoot encircling the cross, its end terminating and debruising the lower limb Or. Crest: In front of a pair of wings displayed Vert, a wooden staff issuant, its upper end terminating in a Latin cross, raguly, couped at random, issuant from its sinister nombril point a leaved offshoot encircling the cross, its end terminating and debruising the lower limb Or. Wreath and mantling: Vert and Or». I do not agree with the specification of the exact place of origin of the branch, the «nombril point» ~ «navel», because that point of origin does not distinguish this coat of arms from another where the branch could emerge at a different height, either closer or further from the point of the shield, and because it forces the artistic interpretation to either break the rule of fullness or to draw a curved branch in a panache shape to allow it to open before gaining height.

Note how in the Spanish certification of arms, by the Chronicler of Arms of Castile and León, this unnecessary nombril specification as the origin point of the branch is omitted.

The nombril is the exact crossing point of the vertical axis of symmetry of the shield with the lower edge of the bend.

Design rationale

Per pale Vert and Azure represents the fields of Galicia facing the sea, with its «horreo» ~ granary and the oak leaves as symbols of Galician nature and of the values of strength and nobility of the bearer. 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.

Coat of arms emblazoned by me with a shape endend with an ogee arch, illuminated, and with a freehand finishing.

Csernely is a village in Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén county in Hungary.

The official description, not the blazon, is: «...in the blue field of a shield standing on its snout two silver-coloured church towers with onion-shaped cupolas and crosses on their peaks are rising on a green hill. Between them a silver ploughshare is floating with its point upside down...».

The official description use the word «hagymakupolás» in Hungarian. The official text is «Csernely címere: Csücsköstalpú pajzs kék mezejében zöld halmon két ezüst színu, hagymakupolás templomtorony emelkedik, ...», but the cupolas painted by them do not seem the classic «onion-shaped cupolas».

Notice the mount color Vert over a field color Azure, not uncommon in this heraldic tradition.

Five hurts and five pommes

Riddle369 32 Hurts Pommes Question jpg

Transform the blazon «Or» into «Or, five Pommes in saltire» and the blazon «Argent» into «Argent, five Hurts in saltire» moving the pommes and hurts through both metals, without breaking the rule of tinctures.

You can change one charge by another one, but only once.

For example, if you change «Sable, a Bend Argent» by «Sable, a Pale Argent», then the Pommes can arrive to «Or» blazon. However, this is not a solution, because the Hurts cannot walk to «Argent» blazon.

Design rationale

These arms were designed for Jaime Sánchez and his wife, Ana Esteban, combining personal and geographic symbolism. The 1st and 2nd quarters represent their surnames. The 3rd quarter represents Milmarcos through a semé of bezants Or, a canting allusion to its name, interpreted heraldically as «a thousand coins», while the 4th represents Barcelona, where Jaime was born and the family lives, through a salamander inspired by Park Güell and the work of Antoni Gaudí. The motto «Quid Pro Quo» was chosen by the armigers, while the oak branches symbolise Milmarcos and the rooster crest represents vigilance, renewal, and strength.

G0115: the coat of arms of Dr Martin Testaferrata Moroni Viani, of Malta, as granted by the Chief Herald of Arms of Malta and emblazoned by me for this grant. The image combines the finished painted coat of arms with a photograph showing 2 successive hand-drawn studies of the bull salient and guardant described in the blazon. Executed directly in ink on translucent tracing paper, the lower sheet preserves an earlier stage of the artwork, while the upper sheet presents a more advanced version of the same bull salient and guardant. Both belong to the development of the charge that appears in 4 quarters of this coat of arms. Above the photograph appears my painting of this coat of arms, allowing a comparison between the successive hand-drawn stages and their final heraldic interpretation. In this case, both this bull salient and guardant and the demi-bull guardant of the crest were developed taking into account the armiger’s wish that they should retain a certain stylistic continuity with an existing family representation, while still preserving my own manner of drawing and painting.

Vert, two two-man cross-cut saws in saltire, the one bendwise Argent, handled Or, the one bend sinisterwise Or, handled Argent, in chief an adze Or, handled Argent.

Arms designed by me, in flat tinctures, contoured in Sable, with a semi-circular external shape and with a texturized finish.

The coat of arms of Iker Lanzagorta Ochoa, designer, and manufacturer of wooden furniture. This coat of arms has been designed by him, his father Juan Lanzagorta Vallín, and me, and emblazoned by me. An interesting heraldic discussion arose from this design. Someone suggested that two metal charges placed in saltire violate the rule of tincture because one metal lies over another. However, two charges arranged in saltire necessarily intersect and touch. Colouring one charge to avoid metal on metal would simply create a colour-on-colour problem against the field. This illustrates that the rule of tincture cannot be interpreted in such a purely mechanical way.

Arms designed by me, illuminated with lights and shadows, contoured in Sable, with a semi-circular outer contour and with a watercolor finish.

Design rationale

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».

Myriam Spiteri Debono, structured and parallel blazons

Personal coat of arms of Her Excellency Myriam Spiteri Debono, President of Malta, grant G0134 by Dr. Charles A. Gauci, Chief Herald of Arms of Malta. This coat of arms has been emblazoned by me. I have written the blazon in English and Castilian in a structured way to observe the parallelism between both forms. Someone asked me a interesting question about the first quarter: «Why is the lion overlapping the fess (i.e., colour on colour)?» This was my answer: I had no choice in the design, since each quarter represents one of her ancestral lineages, and the Chief Herald of Arms of Malta provided the precise blazon for each of them. My work was to paint the coat of arms according to those official instructions. In the case of the lion, it overlaps slightly because it is shown walking upon the fess. And importantly, the rule of tincture does not apply to tiny details. A well-known example is the lions of the arms of the Kingdom of England, whose claws are color Azure over a color Gules field. In this case, the lion’s claws and the underside of its paws are color Gules over an color Azure fess, perfectly acceptable for such small elements.

Tierced per pale: 1 Or, upon a fess Azure a lion passant Gules holding a sword point upwards Argent [for Spiteri]; 2 Azure, upon a base Vert a tree eradicated proper, supported at sinister by a man proper wearing a loincloth Argent and holding in his sinister a spear point upwards Or and in chief three mullets of six points in fess Or [for Debono], 3 Gules, two hands clasped throughout proper, vested Argent, holding a dagger point upwards Argent, hilted Or, in chief three mullets of six points in fess Or and in base a sprig of olive fesswise proper [for Zammit]. Terciado en palo: 1o de oro, una faja de azur cargada de un león pasante de gules teniendo una espada alzada de plata [de Spiteri]; 2o de azur, un árbol arrancado al natural, terrazado de sinople, soportado a la siniestra de un hombre al natural, vestido de un taparrabos de plata, teniendo en su siniestra una lanza alzada de oro, en jefe tres estrellas de seis puntas en faja de oro [de Debono]; 3o de gules, una alianza moviente de los flancos de carnación, vestida de plata, teniendo una daga alzada de plata, guarnecida de oro, en jefe tres estrellas de seis puntas en faja de oro, en punta una ramita de olivo puesta en faja al natural [de Zammit].

Noblemen of Navarre

Interpretation and composition of 13 coats of arms that I have created with a parchment-like finish.

The King of Navarre, at the time of his new and solemn coronation, is raised and lifted up as King by the hands of twelve barons of the greatest and oldest houses of the said Kingdom, and these are the twelve Noblemen who are named on the other side, with their blazons and coats of arms.

Interpretation and composition of 13 coats of arms that I have created with a parchment-like finish.

A free interpretation, for example, without the central crown over the arms of Navarre, with a different title, written «Navarra» and not «Nabarra», etc., based on the principal plate of [Bosque, J. del; 1540; folio 1 of the numbering of 1613] and with texts taken from the transcription by [Martinena Ruiz, J. J.; 1982; pages 122 and 123].

«Ricohombre», written together, currently means «title that formerly belonged to the highest nobility of Spain», [Real Academia Española; 2001].

Its plural «ricoshombres» is the most commonly used form, but «ricohombres» is also correct and used; and in [Bosque, J. del; 1540] it is written separately, and «honbre» with an «n» before the «b», that is, «ricos honbres».

Coat of arms of Tomasz Arkadiusz Grzeszkowiak designed by Tomasz Steifer and interpreted by me in 3 approaches: 1) tricking, using abbreviations; 2) hatching, using dots and lines; and 3) plain tinctures. The Polish heraldist Tomasz Steifer was one of the creators of International Heraldry Day. This coat of arms follows the Polish heraldic tradition, you can notice the color Vert over the color Gules, and also for them the Sable is not a color, then they can place a serpent Sable over the color Vert. The Serpent symbolizes the defeated Evil thus it looks at the Sinister in my interpretation.

Universitas Studiorum Navarrensis

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».

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. Divisa: «Universitas Studiorum Navarrensis».

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».

Escudo partido de sinople y sable, un sol de oro moviente de la diestra del jefe.

Arms designed by me, illuminated with lights and shadows, contoured in Sable, and with a leather finishing.

Canting arms of the French family of Fr. Marc Vernoy designed by him and me and emblazoned by me. A field Vert and Sable ~ Vert Noir ~ Vernoy. This coat of arms plays on the pronunciation and meaning in both English and French: «Vert» is green in English, and «Noir» is black in French. Together, «Vert Noir» sounds phonetically similar to the surname «Vernoy». This play on words is reflected in the design: A field Vert (green) and Sable (black) ~ Vert Noir ~ Vernoy. French blazon by Hyacinthe de Keranrouë: Parti de sinople et de sable, au soleil d'or mouvant de l'angle dextre.
