Civic Heraldry of the United Kingdom England CLWYD Created : 1974 from Denbighshire and Flintshire Incorporated into :1996 Flintshire, Denbighshire, Wrexham and part of Conwy Origin/meaning : The arms were granted in 1974. The shield, crest and motto all combine elements from the arms of the former Flintshire and Denbighshire County Councils. The green and white wave represents the Vale of Clwyd and the Clwydian hills lying between the two counties. The cross and choughs from the Flintshire shield come from the traditional arms of Edwin of Tegeingl, founder of the twelfth Noble Tribe of North Wales. The black lion of the Princes of Powys Fadog comes from the Denbighshire shield. In the crest, the Welsh dragon holds an ostrich feather, the 'Peace Badge' of Edward the Black Prince, and the castle recalls the many historic strongholds of Clwyd. The motto, Tarian Cyfiawnder Duw means The shield of Justice is God. Literature : Image and information provided by Laurence Jones.
