* DRAGON: The Dragon symbolizes the most exquisite Care and Vigilance.

* TOWER: The Tower represents the Generosity with which the Knight offers himself at the service of his Country and his King.

* PORCUPINE: The Porcupine is a symbol of Strength against danger, because it closes in on itself and defends itself with its own weapons (quills).

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

* LAUREL: The Laurel is a symbol of Good Fame, and due to the perpetual greenness of its leaves, of Imperecedera Victoria.

* SPARROWHAWK: The Sparrowhawk is a symbol of Cunning.
