USSEL
Département : Corrèze
Additions : 1977 La Tourette
Official blazon
D'azur à la porte d'or, la serrure et les bris d'huis du même, accompagnée de trois étoiles d'or. Motto: Huis scelle mon droit
Origin/meaning
The arms were adopted on June 24, 1988
The arms are those of the D'Ussel family, which is named after the town. The family has used the arms since the 13th century (known since 1254). They are first recorded as used by the town in 1558 on the Black Book, a manuscript on parchment containing the text of the transaction concluded in 1533 between the consuls, representing the community of the inhabitants of Ussel, and the prosecutor Gilbert de Ventadour.
In the middle of the 19th century Traversier showed completely different arms (see below), which were also used in the 1930s. Neither publication indicates the meaning or origin of those arms.
