* MARTLET: The Martlets mean the number of defeated enemies and are the distinctive mark of the fourth son.

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

* COCK: The Cock is a symbol of Vigilance and Tenacity in the fight.
