What Were Gonzalo Fernandez Cordoba Personal Coat of Arms for Cerignola 1503 Campaign (Please!)?
With the release of the Gonzalo Fernandez Cordoba mini's from TAG I started to do some research for his personal coat of arms.
I came up with the following four options from Wappenwikki on my blog:
justaddwater-bedford.blogspot.com/2021/10/gonzalo-fernandez-cordoba-personal-coat.html
I wonder if I could ask you to take a look at the post and let me know what you think, out of the four, he was likely to have carried on the Cerignola 1503 Campaign please?
My instincts are to go with the first one, but I think he was given the epithet "El Gran Capitan" prior to setting foot on Italian soil?
Any help would be so much appreciated! Hopefully some of our Spanish members can help illuminate the question?
Coat of Arms 1- this is the one I prefer but would be happy to be corrected?
