* NETTLE: The Nettle symbolizes Affliction.

* ROOK: The Rooks symbolize the Captain who defends his fortress.

* ANCHOR: The Anchor is a symbol of Hope, it also means security and constancy, even in the greatest setbacks of fortune.

* PARROT: The Parrot is a symbol of a Noble Knight, who looks with pleasure at the enamels on his shield, with the intention of not only preserving them, but adding new stamps with his own deeds and is also a symbol of Eloquence and Docility.

* TOWER: The Tower represents the Generosity with which the Knight offers himself at the service of his Country and his King.
