Bishop of Utrecht, 1317-1322

Origin/meaning

The bishop was the first to use the diocesan arms (silver cross on red) with his personal arms as an inescutcheon. The Counts of Sierck were a family from present day Lorrainie in France. The arms are still used by the municipality Sierck-les-Bains.

Another member of the family, Jakob von Sierck was Archbishop of Trier and used the same arms. His predecessor as Bishop of Utrecht, Jan van Sierck (1291-1297) did not use arms in Utrecht.
