THE "CAUDEBEC" COAT-OF-ARMS
The Caudebec Coat-of-Arms is a pointed, oval azure, two metal shield, with an ("or") gold embattled mural crown or crest.
Across the face of the shield area charges: three argent finned smelts naiant, placed one above the other.
Near the point of the shield is an "argent" (silver) daisy.
From this, a wreath of "or" (gold) encircles the shield, reaching nearly the crest.
On the sinister side of the shield, this wreath is a laurel branch, on the dexter side, an olive branch. (In heraldry, dexter (right) and sinister (left), denote the right and left sides respectively, of the shield in the position as the wearer views it, and not as viewed by a distant observer). On some of the Caudebec Coat-of-Arms, the laurel and the olive branches are crossed at or near the shield point, and are tied by a bow of ribbon.
The azure (sky blue), the royal color of the Bourbons, predominates in French shields, and denotes justice and loyalty.
