Vaud (Waadt in German) was a territory that was gradually acquired by the Counts of the Savoie between 1240 and 1260. The Counts were the first to use separate arms for the newly conquered territory. The arms showed the Imperial eagle, as the area officially still belonged to the German Empire. To distinguish the arms they added a red label, see below. | Vaud (Waadt in German) was a territory that was gradually acquired by the Counts of the Savoie between 1240 and 1260.
