===Origin/meaning=== | |||
The exact origin of the arms is not clear, but there are several legends. The colours are supposedly those of Amédée VI, Count of Savoy and known as the 'green count' and were adopted by the city in 1382. | |||
| | In 1536 the city became a French possession, but was reconquered by the Counts of Savoy in 1557. The city then asked to have the cross of the Order of Saint Maurice added to the arms, as Count Emmanuel-Philibert of Savoy was the Grand-Master of the order at the time. When, in 1601, the city became French again, the cross remained. | ||
