The first blazoning of the arms of the Holy See is in Froissart's Chronicles: "gules two keys in saltire argent".

Both its blazoning and the features used are probably of foreign origin and were naturalised in Polish heraldry sometime in 16th century, probably of German origin.

The blazoning of a charge "proper" can therefore be used as a loophole when its natural coloration equates to or approaches another heraldic tincture it is desired to overlie.

Half a dozen men in what looked like Aldaran livery, with the blazoning of the Aldaran emblem, the double-headed eagle, were mustering the men into squads that looked alarmingly like an army.

There was one small change I could make; I did so now, balancing precariously on my wall perch, once more holding the laser between my teeth as I loosed the seam seal and pulled off my overtunic with its bold blazoning.
