+The first arms were granted by the French King Henry II in 1558 and confirmed by King Louis XVIII on April 19, 1817.
+The fleur-de-lys and the crown indicate the conquest of Calais in 1558 by the French. The fleur-de-lys was the French Royal symbol. The city was conquered by François of [[Lorraine]], Duke of Guise, the cousin of Henry II. This is symbolised by the two crosses of [[Lorraine]].
+Calais was also a famous port where many English and French knights departed for the crusades. This is symbolised by the crescent and the Jerusalem Cross in base.
+The current arms may be decorated by the chains of the Croix de Guerre (twice, for 1914-1918 and 1940-1945) and the Légion d’Honneur (granted in 1947).
+I have not seen the exact texts on the grants from either 1558 or 1817, but during the years the arms have been shown in many different ways, as shown below.
