DUCHY OF LORRAINE - LOTHARINGEN
Official blazon
Origin/meaning
The Duchy of Lotharingen (now Lorraine in France) was a large Duchy in the east of present France. It was an independent state, which was conquered by France in the 16th and 17th century. The Duchy never formed part of Austria-Hungary, but the emperors acquired the title Duke of Lotharingen after a marriage in 1736. Ever since the historical arms of Lotharingen have been used as one of the main quarters in the arms and most important titles of the emperors.
