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) PURPLE: Justice, Wit, Truth, Greatness, Wisdom and Love; those who wear this color are obliged to defend the Prince defending ecclesiastical people.
Next lets look at the characteristics of some figures that we can find in heraldry and crests:
* MARTLET: The Martlets mean the number of defeated enemies and are the distinctive mark of the fourth son.
* 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.
* DRAGANTE: Los Dragantes simbolizan el Cuidado y Vigilancia más exquisitos.
* 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.
* GOAT: The Goat symbolizes one who wins through politics rather than war.
* PORCUPINE: The Porcupine is a symbol of Strength against danger, because it closes in on itself and defends itself with its own weapons (quills).
* BRIDGE: The Bridge symbolizes Alliance and Union.
* RAVEN: The Raven is a symbol of the Bold and Courageous Spirit that risks itself in defense of its benefactors.
