* TREE: The Tree is a symbol of Ancient and Clarified Nobility.

* HOLM: The Holm Oak is a symbol of Strong and Constant Spirit in heroic actions and courageous undertakings.

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

* CRESCENT: The Crescent, of oriental origin, symbolizes Victory against the darkness of slander, and Emulations against inconstancy and fickleness.

* LOZENGE: The Lozenges symbolize Constancy.

* bandaNOusar: La Banda es símbolo del tahalí, con que los Caballeros sujetaban su espada y también de la banda de color que usaban sobre su armadura los Generales y Capitanes.

* 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.
