Spanish term

"...las traxeren aquellos de donde ellos vienen"

Spanish to English Art/Literary History coats of arms
Talking about the right to display certain symbols of nobles' coats of arms:

"los reyes determinaron que "ningún caballero ni otra persona alguna, puesto que sea constituido en qualquier título o dignidad seglar, no traiga ni puedan traer en todos nuestros reinos y señoríos corona sobre el escudo de sus armas, ni traiga las dichas nuestras armas reales, salvo en aquella forma y manera que las traxeren aquellos de donde ellos vienen, a quien fueron primeramente dadas" (Novísima Recopilación de las Leyes de España, Libro VI, Tit. I, Ley XV). "

Can anyone help me unravel that last section please???
thanks

Spanish term (edited): Traxeren
Selected

To wear or carry

Escudo is coat of arms. I think the very is to wear or carry.
The phrase means something like this: "Except in the form and manner wore by those from where they come".

The "x" was there but was supplenated in Catilian Spanish by the "j". Xeres became jerez . The game of chess is still xadrez in Portuguese but in Spanish its Ajedrez. Mexicans don't like their country being called Mejico by Spaniards [ ::))]. And rightly so, since the Aztecs used 'x' a lot in their language. ! Viva Mexico!
