Origin/meaning

The arms are identical to the arms of Robert (1216-1250), count of Artois and third son of king Louis VIII of France and Blanche of Castille. The label with the castles (for Castille) are used to differentiate the arms from those of the elder brother, King Louis IX (blue with golden fleur-de-lis).


The arms in 1530

The arms in Hozier (1696)

The arms in the Wapen- en Vlaggenboek van Gerrit Hesman (1708)

The arms in Traversier (1842)

The arms in the Café Sanka album +/- 1932
