OUR ARMORIAL BEARINGS
A crown made up of a gold circle with nine
points, each surmounted by a pearl.
Coat of Arms: of
azure to a silver band accompanied by two gold decorative branches of
thirteen parts. Those decorative branches are called "cotises".
The cotises are the
two tilted parallel tapes, having an odd number of " T's ", arranged with another
" T ", so as to form thirteen " T's ", the odd number indicating the
indefinite number of Thibaults having a link with Champagne. This blazon is that of
Champagne topped with the crown of the count.
These armorial
bearings were borne on the shields of the knights of Thibault de Champagne. |
