TÉRMENS
Province : Lleida
Origin/meaning:
The four bezants Or on Azure and the laurel branch are
traditional elements on the arms of the town; the bezants are canting: they
allude to the name of the town, meaning literally in Catalan "boundary
stones, milestones". Térmens was conquered from the Muslims in the middle of the 12th
century by Ermengol VI of Urgell, who transferred it to Ramon d'Anglesola;
who in turn gave the town to the Hospitallers in 1278: the cross on the arms
represents the Hospitaller command of Térmens, created in 1283. These arms
have been officially granted on 10th December 1982.
