Not Saltires
[edit]
These are crosses - not saltires. Kiltpin (talk) 18:37, 23 March 2013 (UTC)
- Hello, I know the difference between a saltire (or saltorel) (X) and a cross (+). But, according to the rules of heraldry, an heraldic charge, when placed on a inclined honourable ordinary, as a bend or a sinister bend, must follow the inclination of this honourable ordinary. Thus, when a saltorel is placed on a bend, it must be tilted to follow the direction of the bend. Visually the saltire "turns into" a cross. I apologize for my poor english.
