===Origin/meaning=== | |||
The city of Besançon received arms in 1535 by Emperor Charles V. These arms showed the double-headed Imperial Eagle, with the two colums taken from the arms of Spain and the Emperor. They also refer to the old Roman road passing through the city. | The city of Besançon received arms in 1535 by Emperor Charles V.
