Notes

The bordure is always displayed too small in any shield format. To fit charges into it is a laborious business. To make a proper Portuguese coat of arms I have to use a field gules charged with an escucheon or square argent, instead of a field argent with a bordure gules -- and position each castle carefully.

If you would like to modify this blazon and see the effects .
