Several Displays of the Arms of an Archbishop in Salzburg, Austria


Having seen the several ways in which the arms of an archbishop may be displayed with the arms of the archdiocese, today (and next time, for that matter, but in different settings) we're going to see several depictions of the arms of an archbishop combined with the arms of the Archdiocese of Salzburg, though in each of these cases, the personal arms are surmounted by a chief of the archdiocese.





Each of these is the arms of Paris von Lodron, 1586-1653 (Archbishop of Salzburg 1619-1653). (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris_Lodron)

The arms are blazoned: Gules a lion rampant guardant tail nowed argent. The chief, the arms of the Archdiocese of Salzburg, are: Per pale: dexter, Or a lion rampant sable; sinister, Gules a fess argent (Austria).

Next time, we'll see more examples of Archbishop von Lodron's arms, but displayed in conjunction with other Archbishops of Salzburg.
