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

* RAVEN: The Raven is a symbol of the Bold and Courageous Spirit that risks itself in defense of its benefactors.

* CHESS: Chess symbolizes Military Art, for which reason it is usually awarded to soldiers who have exposed their lives in combat.

* THISTLE: The Thistle symbolizes in Heraldry a heart nobly humble, but so careful of its honor, that it defends with its sword the luster of its lineage.

* AXE: The Axe symbolizes Death caused to the enemy, and also an ax or wick to illuminate.
