The word "Divisa" is translated as the heraldic symbol or emblem.

Families belonging to the nobility, often in conflict over the desire to excel on one another, they spent part of his time to proclaim the nobility of his lineage through slogans, divisas or "war cries" that touted the preponderance of its stock, translating divisas  into their coats of arms.

The motto is a fixture outside the shield. The motto is a statement.
Sometimes expresses an intention, with pretensions to enhance the owner's arms.

It is common to observe the arms carved into stone facades have numerous castles and palaces with foreign phrases to identify some lineage

The divisas are not hereditary, slogans are usually placed at the foot of the shield or on the bordure.

The Knights moved their currencies at times according to your wishes, but many families made efforts to preserve them over time.
An example is the Kings of England always have the same motto: "God and my right"

The noble Spanish families have also used currency in their arms. siguients are the examples:
Lineage Quirós: "After God, the house of Quirós.
Lineage Garcia: "Garcia up, nobody say"
Lineage Mier: "Forward the Mier, worth more"
Lineage Valle: "Who is better, not worth as much as Valley";
Lineage Pacheco: "These boilers engraved gold and silver mixed here were painted before the coming of Christ"
Lineage Bustamante: "I saw the dazzling arms of the French arms, the strong Bustamante that the kings were not above"
Lineage Villegas: "I am of the Casa de Villegas, who to watch the sea and have my arms, older Pelayo"
Lineage Escobedo, "swept the enemy until the sea"

The Bourbon dynasty was using a sword with the word "Oenetrabit" which means "enter"

In the military orders, and the Cavalry had its own divisa: The Order of the Golden Fleece notes: "Pretium non Laborum vile."

There are some very interesting anecdotes in relation to certain foreign divisas by the example we have of the Order of the Garter English: During one night in a dance that was at the royal palace, the beautiful Countess of Salisbury he dropped a league, the king Edward III was quick to pick up the league whose color was blue and noting that the courtiers laughed while the countess was jumped tears, instituted the Order of the Garter, or the League, with the caption: "Damn who think bad.
