* ARROW: The Fess represents Readiness (for battle); if depicted with a cross, represents an affliction.

* WALL: The Wall represents the Noble Heart of the Knight, in which no betrayal or disloyalty can enter.

* PELICAN: The Pelican is a symbol of the Charitable and Pious Lord towards his vassals.

* LAMB: The Lamb symbolizes the Kings and Leaders who have to sacrifice themselves to the good and care of their subjects; also denotes in the whiteness of fleeces, Qualified 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.
