Blason de Pau (Pyrénées-Atlantiques)

Origin/meaning

The peacock in the arms is canting, from Paon or Paou. The cows are taken from the arms of the former Duchy of Béarn to which the city belonged. The oldest known use of the arms dates from 1680. The chief was added in 1829 as a memory to King Henri IV, who founded the royal family of the Bourbons.
