Bat (heraldry)
The bat as a heraldic symbol is primarily represented in the coats of arms of certain important towns of the former Crown of Aragon. It appears mostly at the top, above the crown over the shield.
==Origins==
The heraldic use of the bat in Valencia, Catalonia and the Balearic Islands has its origins in a winged dragon or Wyrm (''vibra'' or ''víbria'') that was crowning the helmet or ''cimera reial'' of the Kings of Aragon. Although traditionally the dragon helmet is ascribed to king James I of Aragon (1208 – 1276),〔(Diario de Palma - ''Vicisitudes históricas en torno a la cimera de Jaime I'' )〕
reliable documents state that the winged dragon ''cimera reial'' didn't appear over the helmet until Peter IV of Aragon's reign (1319 – 1387).
There is also a legend that says that thanks to the humble intervention of a bat, king James I of Aragon was able to win a crucial battle against the Saracens that allowed him to win Valencia for his kingdom. However, original documents state that the animal was a swallow and not a bat.〔(Luis Tramoyeres Blasco, ''Lo Rat Penat en el escudo de armas de Valencia'' )〕
