Armorial

As a younger (youngest) son of Louis VIII the Lion of France, Charles was assigned the arms based on the coat of arms of France of the Capetian dynasty differenced, like his brothers, with the gold castle of Castile on red/gules based on his mother, Blanche of Castile's arms. Charles was invested in August 1246 by his brother Louis IX of France as Count of Anjou and Maine. Also, in 1246 Charles married an heiress of the County of Provence, Beatrice of Provence. She was a member of the House of Barcelona; this meant Charles became Count of Provence in right of his wife.

Seal of Charles from 1248 as Count of Provence. The seal shows Charles mounted and armed, the horse wearing his original arms with the castle of Castile and Charles himself carrying the shield of the same. The reverse shows the arms of Provence from his wife, thecoat of arms of the House of Barcelona & Aragon.

The arms that Charles had were changed sometime on or after 1246 to the ones below, the arms of his paternal France, the fleur-de-lys with a simple red label. The label is most commonly depicted with 3 tabs, but can be seen with 4 or 5 tabs. He was not the first to use these arms. His uncle Philippe le Hurepel, count of Clermont used them until his death in 1234. Charles was invested by the Pope as King of Sicily in June 1265, and crowned by 5 cardinals on 5 January 1266 in opposition to the Hohenstaufen king, Manfred of Sicily. The newer arms can be seen in the contemporary illustration of Charles battling Manfred for control of the Kingdom of Sicily at the Battle of Benevento in 26 February 1266, where he carries his newer arms on his shield, the shields of his soldiers, and his pennant. Manfred's troups carry the while eagle alluding to the imperial Hohenstaufens.

When Charles became King, he started minting coinage with his arms on it. An example is shown below. Charles also felt that he inherited the Hohenstaufen claim to the Kingdom of Jerusalem, symbolized by Charles impaling the arms of Jerusalem with his own. This was shown in several different versions:

Charles' son and sucessor Charles II of Naples married the hieress of Hungary. Their son Charles Martel quartered France ancien with the arms of the Hungarian Royal Árpád dynasty to symbolize their claim. Charles Martel's son Charles Robert sucessfully became Hungarian King and impaled the Angevian arms with Hungary. His son, Louis I the Great carried this theough to his arms when he ruled Poland.

As seen above, when Louis I of Hungary died without male hiers, Charles III of Naples, considered himself the heir to the Hungarian throne as the senior Angevin male and male descendant of the Arpads. He added the arms of Hungary to Jerusalem and Anjou, coming up with the tripartite arms. He had some success, but as seen above he was assasinated and his son, Ladislaus of Naples never became King of Hungary.
