Good Morning!
The next step in our series of analyses will deal with the motivation behind the Cross of Jerusalem and the arms said to be used by Godfrey of Bouillon, who died years before heraldry as such started to be used. The interesting thing in the results is that he is indeed referred by the arms.
The arms of Jerusalem have quite simple and strong parophonies and the motivation is fully religious. The heraldic plot is a central cross representing Christ dead and four small crosses along with the squares delimited by the main cross representing the four books of the Gospels, everything on top of a stony grave.
As before I remain at your service for any comments you may have. Allow me to remember the thesis site: www.leeuween.com and give me a few days to publish.
Have a nice Sunday,
Carlos da Fonte
