All have been carefully recorded and above all, with its proven provenance. Centuries of history have shaped these blazons, among which are those of the family name Azcona and throughout the Aragonese geography we can admire mansions and facades that still conserve the armeros stones that emblazon the lineage of the ancient infanzons, in most cases today inhabited by descendants of those hidalgos, such as the name Azcona. Our infanzons, as surely the Azcona, conscious of their duty and displaying the nobility of their race, they often promoted their troops at their expense and, leaving their homes and estates, set out to reconquer, enlarging the Aragonese kingdom and conforming with his effort and sacrifice what would later be the Crown of Aragon. Here we also have the heraldry and history of the name Azcona.

3) ARGENT (Silver): Purity, Integrity, Obedience, Firmness, Surveillance, Eloquence and Expiration.

* WALL: The Wall represents the Noble Heart of the Knight, in which no betrayal or disloyalty can enter.

* 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.

* PELICAN: The Pelican is a symbol of the Charitable and Pious Lord towards his vassals.

* MULBERRY: The Mulberry symbolizes Prudence and Wisdom.

* BULL: The Bull symbolizes Generous Chest, in whom the memories of his lineage, represented in the red of his blood, inflame the desire for great enterprises.
