* AXE: The Axe symbolizes Death caused to the enemy, and also an ax or wick to illuminate.

* WALL: The Wall represents the Noble Heart of the Knight, in which no betrayal or disloyalty can enter.

* PINE: The Pine, due to its elevation, is a symbol of Noble and enlightened Thoughts and due to its resinous nature, suitable for burning, of a Fiery Heart in avenging family outrages.

* CHAIN: The Chain generally means Captivity suffered by the defense of the King or the Homeland.

* SPARROWHAWK: The Sparrowhawk is a symbol of Cunning.

* 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.
