* LANCE: The Lance represents Strength with Prudence.

* SALTIRE: The Saltire symbolizes the Banner or script of the leader undefeated in combat.

* WOLVES: The Wolves are a symbol of a Constant Heart that suffers the calamities of war and siege with generous spirit; but when the time comes to fight in the open field, he fiercely fights, without giving his enemy a barracks.
