Two More Examples of the Arms of Archbishop Paris von Lodron, Displayed With Others


Last time we looked at several displays of the arms of Paris von Lodron, 1586-1653 (Archbishop of Salzburg 1619-1653). (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris_Lodron) His arms are blazoned: Gules a lion rampant guardant tail nowed argent.

Today, we find to more examples of his arms, displayed along with the arms of one or more other.



In the images above, inside the Salzburg Cathedral, on the left we have the arms of Archbishop Paris von Lodron. And as we have seen before, the chief on the shield is the Archdiocese of Salzburg.

The coat of arms on the right (heraldic sinister) are those of Andreas Rohracher, 1892-1976 (Archbishop of Salzburg 1943-1969). They are blazoned Per fess argent and vert, three cattails in fess proper their stems surmounted in base by a barrulet wavy argent. Here, too, the chief is the Archdiocese of Salzburg.

And then we have this display of heraldry:



I have not yet been able to identify the arms in the small shield on the left. They presumably belong to another Archbishop of Salzburg, given that they, along with the others over this doorway, all have a chief of the Archdiocese. 

In the small shield on the right, we have once again the arms of Archbhishop Paris von Lodron

And then, in pride of place, the center, we have the arms of Franz Anton von Harrach zu Rorau, 1665-1727 (Archbishop of Salzburg 1709-1727) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franz_Anton_von_Harrach). His arms are blazoned: Gules three ostrich feathers in pall quills to center argent surmounted in the center by a roundel argent.

Once again, quite the displays of heraldry!
