Troyes is considered as the capital of the Champagne Region. The arms thus show the bend of the [[Champagne]], with a chief of France. The chief was added when the County of the Champagne became a possession of the French Kings. But when the chief actually was granted is not clear, most likely in the 15th or late 14<sup>th</sup> century. <br/> | Troyes is considered as the capital of the Champagne Region.
