After being wounded in battle (some versions say against the Moors; others, the Normans), the Frankish king Charles the Bald rewarded his bravery by giving him a coat of arms.
Setelah terluka dalam pertempuran (beberapa versi mengatakan melawan bangsa Moor; lain-lain, Norman), raja Franka, Karl yang Botak menghadiahi keberaniannya dengan memberinya lambang.
