[edit] Historical Spanish Coats of arms
I added a section with the picture and explanation of the most important historical coats of arms of Spain. --Maurice27 19:42, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
- Nice work, and welcome to WP:HV. I've reassessed the article as B-class. It looks very promising and the number and quality of images is good. Unfortunately, we have only a single reference. If you have the material at hand, please add more references, if at all possible as inline references. If you can find some free versions of historical depictions of this insignia it would be wonderful (I am aware that this is no easy task. I'm working on a similar article myself.) Just my thoughts.

- Given the Spanish Empire, I presume this insignia spawned a number of related arms throughout the empire. If you could find information on some of those, that would be great. A minor point is that I would personally avoid using the term "coat" alone as in "the coat of ..." but "the arms of ..." is more common. Articles on WP:HV also normally use the spelling "Coat of arms of ..." except in the first line of text. Valentinian T / C 20:10, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
The lion on the top right corner should be purpure like on the coat of León or red but not pink. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.190.128.254 (talk) 16:14, August 22, 2007 (UTC)
I have reworked the two parts on the House of Austria. The material in there is based on what I know for the Iberian peninsula and the Netherlands, but I presume more variants can be found in Italy (Napels, Sicily, Milan?) and Latin America. It may be useful for heraldists from these parts to add the relevant versions, clearly marking which belong to which parts of the Spanish Monarchy. A more extensive list of references (I have added one for the Netherlands) would certainly be useful. Richardot 16:38, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
The inclusion of the arms Philip the Fair and Charles I/V certainly clarify the text. Dare I say though that Tyrol is lacking in the inescutcheon of Philip's arms? And that in the arms of Charles I/V the enté en point of Granada should not be on the whole of the coat of arms, but solely in the quarterings for Spain (thus, of course, appearing twice). Richardot (talk) 12:08, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
- Hard to say, because that part of the article completely lacks sources. Judging from the succession boxes on the Charles I article, Charles inherited Tyrol from Maximilian I, Holy Roman Emperor, not from Philip. I also have an image (supposedly an authentic drawing from Charles's reign) that shows Granada on the point of the shield instead of the quarters. Neither of these is a reliable source, but it's better than nothing. -- I. Pankonin (t/c) 08:46, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
