Synopsis

Excerpt from Notes and Queries, Vol. 4: A Medium of Inter-Communication for Literary Men, General Readers, Etc;; July-December, 1863

Pizarro's coat or arms. - When at Trujillo, I saw on the house pointed out to travellers as that formerly occupied by Pizarro, an escutcheon with the conqueror's arms emblazoned thereon. It was surmounted by a small shield, with a banana or cocoa nut-tree in its centre, and a bear (or more probably a pig, from Pizzaro having been a swineherd) standing, one on either side of the tree on their hind legs, and resting their fore legs upon the upper part of the trunk of the tree.
