There is a story on the background of the arms, dating back to the 11<sup>th</sup> century : Enguerrand I de Coucy participated in France's First Crusade (1096). Was awarded the arms as result of a battle wherein he and his men were attacked at night; he tore his robe into six pieces, and gave each of his men a piece. They successfully fended off the attack. Hence the six seemingly torn bands on the shield. | There is a story on the background of the arms, dating back to the 11<sup>th</sup> century : Enguerrand I de Coucy participated in France's First Crusade (1096).
