LOZINGHEM
Département : Pas-de-Calais
Origin/meaning
The arms were proposed in 1996, but I have no information whether the municipality actually adopted the arms.
The arms are a combination of the arms of two of t he main families that owned the estate of Lozinghem. The black shield with the fleur-de-lis is derived from the oldest known Lords of Lonzinghem, Michel de Bernemicourt, who acquired the estate in 1462. The peacock is taken from the arms of the Guisselin family, who later acquired the estate.
Literature : Bréemersch et al, 1996
