====Origin/meaning====
===Origin/meaning===
The arms of Poitou show 5 castles, which are derived from the arms of the Kingdom of Castille, now part of Spain, and the castles are a canting element for Castille.The old historical arms of the Poitou are rather different, showing a red lion within a black bordure with several golden besants. These are the historical arms of the Counts of Poitou. At present the region of Poitou is often represented by the red lion, but the lion has no official status.
