CORSEREY
Canton: Fribourg
Official blazon
Origin/meaning
The origin of the arms if not clear. The oldest known use of the arms dates from a 16th century stained-glass window bearing the arms of the State of Friborg surrounded by its territories and bailiwicks. There the arms of Corserey are shown as quarterly Azure and Gules. During later centuries the colours have been shown as Azure and Gules or Gules and Azure, which is the currently used combination.
In late medieval times Corserey belonged to the bailiwick of Montagny. The lords of Montagny used a divided shield of red and blue, which thus may be the origin of the colours. They never used a quartered shield. Identical arms are used by the Lords of Belp, but there is no known relation between them and the village of Corserey.
