  • Right: (sculpted post 1585) Farnese quartering per pale Austria and Burgundy ancient, with Pale of Holy Church with Umbraculum, with Portugal overall in pretence. Surrounded by the Collar of the the Order of the Golden Fleece (to which he was appointed in 1585). Coat of Arms of w:Alessandro Farnese, Duke of Parma and Piacenza (1545-1592), the son of w:Ottavio Farnese, Duke of Parma (1524-1586), the second son of Pier Luigi Farnese, Duke of Parma and Piacenza (1503-1547), the eldest son of w:Pope Paul III.
