ANJOU
Origin/meaning
The arms are derived from the arms of Gaston d' Orléans, brother of king Louis XIII. He was in title of the duchy of Orléans an Anjou. It shows the fleur-de-lis, symbol of the French kings, with a red border, in order to distinguish Gaston from Louis. When in 1700 the grandson of Louis XIV, Philippe Duke of Anjou, became king of Spain the red frame was taken over by the Spanish Bourbon dynasty, founded by Philippe.
 The arms in the Café Sanka album +/- 1932 |
