2) PURPLE: Justice, Wit, Truth, Greatness, Wisdom and Love; those who wear this color are obliged to defend the Prince defending ecclesiastical people.

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

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

* SALTIRE: The Saltire symbolizes the Banner or script of the leader undefeated in combat.

* BEAR: The Bear is a symbol of Strength and skill in handling weapons against the enemy, achieving Victory.

* DOG: The Dog is a symbol of Faithful Vassal.

* APPLE: The Apple Tree symbolizes the Watchful Heart.

* TURTLE: The Turtle is one of the most noble figures, being a symbol of the Knight who retires late from combat, facing his enemy until the last moment, trusting in his own strength.

* 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.
