In excel golden four billiard pins of gules. Of timbre a yellow globe daisies.This |blasonamiento| is known heraldic as the four billiard pins and more popularly as the four bars ( Quatre daubs ).It has not documented any documentary reference until the 1150 by appearing as shield |preheráldico| in a stamp of Ramón Berenguer IV, although the scarce brightness of the stamp, and your |monocromía|, do doubtful the attribution, because the paly shield and reflected |blocado| the habitual defensive reinforcements of the shields of half-filled of the XII century, for which this would not be a sign of lineage, but the mere shield of marzipan tables that it symbolized the can real. The first sure testimony is the stamps of the chancellorship of Alfonso II, dated as of 1167.Es false the proof of your home count of Barcelona association in a sarcophagus of 1082 of Ramón Berenguer II where it appears 15 golden billiard pins and gules, which has taken to think to some heraldists (Fluvià) that this is the origin of the four bars; but it cannot be proof of the antiquity of the emblem associated to the count lineage because inasmuch as this is a |impostada| decoration on the occasion of your transfer in 1385 to the inside of the Gerona cathedral for initiative of Pedro IV of Aragon, therefore, the above-mentioned painting is 300 later years, since in your original emplacement outdoors during three centuries is impossible that the sarcophagus kept the painting of the XI century, as demonstrates convincingly Alberto Montaner Frutos in the signal of the Aragon king: history and meaning (1995).http ://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escudo_de_Catalu%C3 %B1a
