One of the most distinctive qualities of heraldry is the use of a limited palette of colours and patterns, usually referred to as tinctures. These are divided into three categories, known as metals, colours, and furs.

Next we are going to see the meanings of three tinctures:

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

2) SABLE: Black color that symbolizes Prudence, Sadness, Rigor, Honesty and Obedience.

3) GULES: Red color that symbolizes Strength, Victory, Daring and Highness.

Next lets look at the characteristics of some figures that we can find in heraldry and crests:

* WINDMILL: The Windmills and their Wheels are a symbol of Obedience, because they face the violence of the current and obey the movement that it prints.

* MARTLET: The Martlets mean the number of defeated enemies and are the distinctive mark of the fourth son.

* LEOPARD: The Leopard represents the Courageous and Endeavoring Knight who has carried out some daring enterprise using cunning rather than force to complete it.

* COCK: The Cock is a symbol of Vigilance and Tenacity in the fight.

* RABBIT: The Rabbit symbolizes Love of letters or One who enjoys a peaceable and retired life.

* ANJOU: The Chief of Anjou, belonging to Italian heraldry, represents a political alliance with the Welf party (derived from Welf, Duke of Bavaria) who were loyal to the Pope.
