AUMERVAL
Département : Pas-de-Calais
Origin/meaning
The old village of Aumerval was a possession of several families until the French Revolution, first the Bailleul family, who were succeeded by the Counts of Horne and through marriage the Princes of Salm. The arms show two horns of the arms of the Counts of Horne in changed colours.
The horseshoe is taken from a local legend. When St.Martin of Tours was running from Bellimont, his horse took a giant leap and landed in the present village, leaving a deep mark of a horseshoe.
