* CHAIN: The Chain generally means Captivity suffered by the defense of the King or the Homeland.

* KEY: The Keys symbolize Fidelity and Secrecy.

* CYPRESS: The Cypress symbolizes Elevated and Incorruptible Thoughts.

* CROSS: The Cross symbolizes the sword of the Knights, to whom this piece was granted when they returned from combat with their sword dyed in enemy blood. The Cross was also taken as a teaching by most of the Crusaders.

* 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.
