993
Le Duc de Lorraine
dor a la bende de gueules a iij aigles dargent sur la bende
Or on a bend gules three alerions bendwise argent
Henri III, Duc de Lorraine, who died in 1303, bears these arms in Walford's Roll, C50; The Camden Roll, D20 & The Wijnbergen Roll, WN 17.
Although the birds are said to be eagles, the traditional arms of Lorraine depict them without beak and feet, as alerions. They form a canting reference to Lorraine.
The difference between eaglets and alerions is, in my opinion, one of artistic choice; the original artist did not draw the beak and feet, either because of carelessness or because of restrictions of space upon the shield.
994
Le Duc de Brebanc
equartele de Louviain et de Lembourc dargent au lion de gueulles a la cueue forchie Reversee en sautoir et couronne dor
Quarterly first and fourth sable a lion rampant argent crowned or second and third argent a lion rampant double queued gules crowned or

The
first quarter is not blazoned; I have taken it from the arms of Godefroid
de Louvain, in The Bigot Roll, BA189 & The Camden Roll,
D51.
995
Le Duc de Gerles
dasur au lion dor a la cueue fourie croisie et couronne dor

1326, in The Camden Roll, D49.
996
Le Duc de Baviere
lozengie en bende dargent et dasur
Fusilly bendwise argent and azure
Ludwig II von Wittelsbach, Duke of Bavaria, who died in 1294, bears these arms in Walford's Roll, C48 & The Wijnbergen Roll, WN 595.
In
1180, Otto IV von Wittelsbach was made Count Palatine of the Rhine,
and assumed its arms, sable a lion rampant or crowned gules.
Ludwig appears to have been the first to adopt the fusilly coat, from the county of Bogen.
The number of divisions is taken from the illustration in The Wijnbergen Roll
997

Jean II, Marquis de Brandenbourg, bears these arms in The Wijnbergen Roll, WN597.

The same arms appear in Walford's Roll, C47.
The fess appears on seals of the Babenberg family, Margraves and Dukes of Austria, from 1136. The Austrian eagle first appears after 1156

Guillaume
de Villehardouin, Prince of Morea, bears or a cross moline sable,

The cross gringolee is probably an error, caused by a misrepresentation of an earlier herald.

an establishment of precedence and not a blazon:
'Le Prince de Gales le primier prince ensuivant le prince d Orenge de Tarentes
et le prince de la Moree'.
