The Armorial is the directory of all the unique titles and coats of arms of the Order of the Knights of Rondmons.

Explanations of the coats of arms used in the Armorial

  • The coat of arms is an integral part of the name of chivalry .

  • A knighthood is made up of three words (Family-Branch-Patronym).
    Example: de La Tour Smalt d'Armor

  • The Rondmons Armorial perfectly respects the rules of heraldry. His coats of arms are designed with a clean line and are instantly recognizable. It is the only collection of its kind in the world, and is deposited with the Bibliothèque nationale de France (BnF - Dépôt légal DLE-20170427-25232), the Bibliothèque nationale suisse (BN) and the Archives de l'Etat de Fribourg (CH AEF carton 408.24 et 408.25).
