The shield of the Balearic islands is regulated in the Law 7/1984, of November 21, of the shield of the Autonomous Community of the Balearic Islands.The historians Faustino Menéndez-Pidal and Juan José Sánchez Badiola documents it for the first time in two armoriales of the second half of the XIII century: Wijnbergen and Lord Marshal's Roll that attribute it to the king from Majorca. Another armorial of the time, that of Hérault Vermandois, assigns him/her the Aragonese weapons, and that of Gelre, of the XIV century, the same weapons, but with the invested enamels; that is to say, the gules (red) field and the sticks of gold. It figures in Jaime's testament III of Majorca (1349), it was used later on by diverse members of the Real House of Majorca, of the Kingdom of Aragon and of the Spanish monarchy. He/she frequently appears in cartographic documents of the XVII and XVIII centuries. In the XIX century it was documented in a marginal way as one of the administrative symbols of the Balearic Islands. The heraldic description is: of gold, four gules (red) sticks, and one quotes of azure (blue), setting in band, brochante on the everything.
