'''English:''' Upon a cross potent and a saltire potent all Or, An escutcheon Gules.
'''SybolismSymbolism:''' The '''escutcheon Gules''' references the arms of Douai (Nord,France) from which the patrilineal line of the ariger's originates; it's also a blood-stained shield symbolising the sacrifices to be made in order to achieve one's ambition and ideal. The '''cross potent''' is a reference to Jerusalem and Godfried van Bouillon. As one of the Nine Worthies, Godfried represents a certain ideal of chivalry, he is also a symbol of the might of the house of Vlaanderen. Jerusalem being the holy city, it's a reminder of the Armiger's faith. together with '''the saltire potent, the cross potent''' becomes a wheel to rebuild the Holy Temple but also the wheel worn by the jews of the Venetian ghetto, a contrasting symbol for the hopes and struggles of the Jewish people.
