MONTCENIS
Département : Saône-et-Loire
Official blason
- (fr) Écartelé: aux 1er et 4e d'azur à trois têtes de vieillard d'argent, aux 2e et 3e de sable à trois urnes d'or; sur le tout, d'azur à la Vierge d'argent posée sur une montagne du même et au chef cousu de gueules chargé de trois fleurs de lis d'or.
Origin/meaning
The main shield refers to the etymology of the name, which means Mount of Ashes or Mount of Old Men.
The inescutcheon shows the local patron saint, St. Mary under a chief of France. As the town was a royal possession the fleur-de-lys were also used as arms in the 17th century.
The arms in Hozier (1696) |
