The arms are those of the ancient medieval Duchy of Bouillon. The arms derived from the arms of Lower-Lorraine or Lotier, one of the two Duchies created in the 10<sup>th</sup> century from the large Duchy of Lorraine. Duke Godfried/Godefroid of Bouillon was the last Duke of Lotier in the 13<sup>th</sup> century. The city has always used the arms of the former duchy. | The arms are those of the ancient medieval Duchy of Bouillon.
