Title: Heraldry of Antioch
Post by: Ade G on December 04, 2020, 08:35:17 PM
I am collecting a couple of armies for Lion Rampant based around the Hattin period. The Ayyubids are relatively simple to research but I cannot find anything with my Google-fu specific for the heraldry of Raynald de Chatillon or other knights of Antioch. Any suggestions?

The arms of the house of Chatillon are discussed on French wikipedia (https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maison_de_Ch%C3%A2tillon) but they don't seem to know what distinctions Renaud might have carried. A picture here (http://nonnobisdominenonnobissednominituodagloriam.unblog.fr/2010/08/07/raymond-iii-de-tripoli-la-bataille-des-cornes-de-hattin/) gives him the undifferenced Chatillon arms, which might be just a guess.

Arms of successive Princes of Antioch, though not of their vassals, here (https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_des_princes_d%27Antioche).
