* BEAR: The Bear is a symbol of Strength and skill in handling weapons against the enemy, achieving Victory.

* PIGEON: The Pigeon is a symbol of Health; in the coat of arms it denotes Fidelity and Love. It is the emblem of the Third Person of the Holy Trinity and, as such, adorns the currency of the French Order of the Holy Spirit.

* CROSS: The Cross symbolizes the sword of the Knights, to whom this piece was granted when they returned from combat with their sword dyed in enemy blood. The Cross was also taken as a teaching by most of the Crusaders.

* COMET: The Comet symbolizes a Brave Courage to prevent in time, without fear, future grievances.

* LAMB: The Lamb symbolizes the Kings and Leaders who have to sacrifice themselves to the good and care of their subjects; also denotes in the whiteness of fleeces, Qualified Nobility.

* CHEVRON: The Chevron symbolizes the boots and spurs, and for this reason it was granted as an adornment of the shield to the Knight who was wounded from the combat in his legs.

* DRAGANTE: Los Dragantes simbolizan el Cuidado y Vigilancia más exquisitos.
