Summary

Description
Deutsch: Wappen Herzog Franz II. von Sachsen, Engern und Westfalen (Lauenburg) (1547–1619, Herzog seit 1581), zu dem Hadeln gehörte, darunter Hadler Bauernwappen am Chor der St. Jacobi-Kirche in Cuxhaven-Lüdingworth. Abgekürzte Inschrift: V.[on] G.[ottes] G.[naden] F.[ranz] H.[erzog] Z.[u] S.[achsen,] E.[ngern] U.[nd] W.[estfalen].
English: Coat-of-arms of Duke Francis II of Duchy of Saxony, Angria and Westphalia (Lauenburg) (1547–1619, Duke since 1581), to which the Land of Hadeln used to belong, below coats-of-arms of Hadelian peasant families at the quire of St. James Church in Lüdingworth, Cuxhaven. The coat of arms as used between 1507 and 1671 shows in the upper left quarter the Ascanian barry of ten, in or and sable, covered by a crancelin of rhombs (they are not shown in this undetailed copy) bendwise in vert.[1] The crancelin symbolises the Saxon ducal crown. The second quarter shows in azure an eagle crowned in or, representing the imperial Pfalzgraviate of Saxony. The third quarter displays in argent three water-lily leaves in gules, standing for the County of Brehna. The lower right fourth quarter repeats the first quarter. The Lauenburg branch duchy adopted this coat-of-arms from Saxe-Wittenberg, displaying the coats-of-arms of parts of that duchy. However, the quarters, then used for the Duchy of Saxony, Angria and Westphalia (Lauenburg), were later often misinterpreted as symbolising Angria (Brehna's water-lily leaves) and Westphalia (the comital palatine Saxon eagle).

Notes

  1. The House of Wettin also adopted the barry of ten with the crancelin as its coat-of-arms, when it gained Saxe-Wittenberg, which is why the barry reappears in the arms of many (formerly) Wettin-ruled states.
