The Aragon/Sicily quartering also incorporates the arms of Jerusalem, Naples, and Navarre. They also are with the Portuguese crown.

The second quarter represents holdings derived from Draconicus’ German imperial inheritance: these quarters shows further quartering of Austria, Hungary, Bohemia, Burgundy, etc.

The third quarter represents the Roman imperial crown ad it’s successors: the Ottomans, the Russians, the Greeks, and the Bulgarians. While the Arms of Rome itself are displayed abreast the eagle, the successors are displayed upon it’s wings.
