Département: Aisne
| French |
Fascé de vair et de gueules. |
| English | blazon wanted |
Origin/meaning
There is a story on the background of the arms, dating back to the 11th century: Enguerrand I de Coucy participated in France's First Crusade (1096). Was awarded the arms as result of a battle wherein he and his men were attacked at night; he tore his robe into six pieces, and gave each of his men a piece. They successfully fended off the attack. Hence the six seemingly torn bands on the shield.
As this probably pre-dates modern heraldry, the story is rather unlikely.
