Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on 10 May 1622, to replace an earlier grant (7 May 1476), which was confirmed twice before (12 October 1530) and 22 October 1590).
If this text appears, it means that background information is available, but that I have not yet had the time to add the information on these arms. Just [|mail me with the name of the town in the subject !] and I will add all information that I have !
