Our infanzons, as surely the Corau, 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.

* SCEPTER: The Scepter represents Dignity.

* BEZANT: The Bezants, due to its oriental significance, was adopted by most of the Knights who took part in the expedition to the Holy Land.

* KNIGHT: The Knight symbolizes the Nobility.

* PEACOCK: The Peacock, by its head denotes Prudence; for his chest, of gold and sapphire, Loyalty, Fidelity and Zeal; in the hidden and submissive of his steps, Secret, and in the terribly out of tune voice of his singing, Terror of enemies.

* MERMAID: The Mermaid is a symbol of Eloquence and Seduction.

* CABRIO: The Cabrio symbolizes the boots and spurs, and for this reason it was granted as an adornment of the shield to the Knight who was wounded from the combat in his legs.

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