The book "Apellidos Catalanes. Heraldica de Cataluna" by Augusto Cuartas, where the history and heraldry of the name Franquesas appears, describes Catalan lineages and family names, such as name Franquesas. Covers the birthplace of the name Franquesas, its derivatives, historical and etymological origin, as well as many other data of interest of the family name Franquesas that justify its origin. All this as a result of the work of an expert in HERALDRY that has unraveled the historical and heraldic archives during a patient research work on the last names, lineages and heraldry of Catalonia.

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) AZURE: Blue color that symbolizes Justice, Zeal, Truth, Loyalty, Charity and Beauty.

2) ARGENT (Silver): Purity, Integrity, Obedience, Firmness, Surveillance, Eloquence and Expiration.

3) GULES: Red color that symbolizes Strength, Victory, Daring and Highness.

Next lets look at the characteristics of some figures that we can find in heraldry and crests:

* DRAGON: The Dragon symbolizes the most exquisite Care and Vigilance.

* GRIFFIN: The Griffin, half eagle and half lion, is an emblem of Ingenuity and Greatness.

* 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.

* KNIGHT: The Knight symbolizes the Nobility.

* ROUNDLE: The Roundles symbolize the bucklers that the soldiers carried as a defensive weapon.

* EMPIRE: The Head of the Empire, belonging to Italian heraldry, represents a political alliance with the Ghibelline party (derived from the Hohenstaufen, Lords of Waibling) who were loyal to the Emperor.

* 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.

* LEOPARD: The Leopard represents the Courageous and Endeavoring Knight who has carried out some daring enterprise using cunning rather than force to complete it.
