FERDINAND BROSSART
Born : October 19, 1849
Deceased : August 6, 1930
Bishop of Covington, 1915-1923
Official blazon
- (personal part) Azure, a chevron between two fleurs-de-lis in chief and in base a heart vulned and inflamed all or.
Origin/meaning
As common in US episcopal heraldry, the arms show the arms of the diocese impaled with the personal arms of the bishop.
The arms are based upon those of a Brossart de Kermant family used here to represent the name of the bishop. The chevron and the fleurs-de-lis were also charges on the arms of Monsignor Brossart's precessor Camillus Paul Maes whom, through affection, he desired to honor. The heart is taken directly from Bishop Maes's arms.
The achievement is completed with the heraldic insignia of a prelate of the rank of bishop.
