* WHEEL: The Wheels symbolize Speed in carrying out the most arduous undertakings. They are also a symbol of Fortune, Favor and Inconstancy.

* CASTLE: The Castle, due to the superiority of its strength over other buildings, denotes Greatness and Power, used to defend friends and allies, resisting the enemy invincibly.

* 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.

* SNAKE: The Snakes symbolize Prudence and Cunning.

* PORCUPINE: The Porcupine is a symbol of Strength against danger, because it closes in on itself and defends itself with its own weapons (quills).

* borduraNOusar: La Bordura simboliza Protección, Favor y Recompensa; asimismo la cota que vestían los caballeros y que al salir de la pelea, ostentándola manchada de sangre enemiga, eran premiados con el añadido de la bordura de escudo, como insignia de Valor.
