* GOAT: The Goat symbolizes one who wins through politics rather than war.

* STAR: The Stars symbolize Constancy in the service to the Sovereign in the jobs of Minister or Counselor.

* CHEVRON: The Chevron 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.

* SPARROWHAWK: The Sparrowhawk is a symbol of Cunning.

* COMET: The Comet symbolizes a Brave Courage to prevent in time, without fear, future grievances.

* 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.
