Dispute[edit]
"The accuracy of this coat of arms is disputed
The dispute is about: Selon les propos de www.science-heraldique.com : Sous la Restauration, l'écu était sommé d'une couronne et posé dans un manteau d'azur, relevé sur les côtés, issant d'une autre couronne, à bonnet d'azur et sommé d'un gland d'or."
- I agree, it does seem to be missing its golden tassel. Kiltpin (talk) 18:37, 8 May 2012 (UTC)
Not a crown but rather, a coronet[edit]
The image shown is that of a coronet (or in French, a couronne), rather than a crown. Crowns are surmounted by "hoops" (usually metal) that span the circlet above the head and represent the rule of the monarch over the temporal world. Coronets such as the one shown lack these enclosures. Occam's Shaver (talk) 06:34, 25 July 2014 (UTC)
