2) SABLE: Black color that symbolizes Prudence, Sadness, Rigor, Honesty and Obedience.

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:

* 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.

* LOZENGE: The Lozenges symbolize Constancy.

* FESS: The Fess represents the Noble Heart of the Knight, into which no betrayal or disloyalty can enter.

* PANELA: The Panelas are figures similar to a heart and are a symbol of Vigilant Vassal.

* WATER: The Water is a symbol of Enlightened Wisdom, of Virtuous Mood, and can also symbolize domain extension.

* YOKE: The Yoke symbolizes Unity.
