Yet Another Way to Combine Arms of Office With Personal Arms

Having seen in our last post two different ways of displaying the arms of the Archdiocese of Salzburg with the personal arms of the Archbishop, today we're going to see (1) more examples of the use of the arms of the archbishop with a chief of the archdiocese; and (2) three examples of the two coats of arms on separate shields.

All of these examples are from the Archbishop Guidobald von Thun and/or Archbishop Johann Ernst Graf von Thun und Hohenstein. (I did not find dates for any of these armorial displays, and so they could be for one or for the other, or a combination of each.)

Guidobald of Thun, 1616–1668, was Archbishop of Salzburg 1654-1668. He was also Bishop of Regensburg, and a Cardinal. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guidobald_of_Thun) 

Johann Ernst Graf von Thun und Hohenstein (1643–1709) was Bishop of Seckau from 1679 to 1687 and Prince-archbishop of Salzburg from 1687 until 1709. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johann_Ernst_von_Thun_und_Hohenstein)

Here are the examples of the von Thun arms with a chief of the Archdiocese;

As always, please feel free to click on any of the images here to see the full-size photograph, where you can zoom in to see the arms in greater detail.

The von Thum arms are blazoned: Quarterly: 1 and 4, Azure a bend or; 2 and 3, Per pale: dexter, Argent an eagle displayed gules issuant from the line of division; sinister, Sable a fess argent; overall, an inescutcheon, Gules a fess argent (Austria). The chief is the arms of the Archdiocese of Salzburg: Per pale: dexter, Or a lion rampant sable; sinister, Gules a fess argent (Austria).

In the first image, the galero over the shield, with its twelve tassels (six on each side) marks his rank as Bishop, either of Regensburg (Guidobald), or Seckau (Johann).

And in these next three pictures, we see the von Thun arms displayed to the sinister (to the viewer's right) with the arms of the Archdiocese to dexter (to the viewer's left):

All in all, between this post and the last one, it's been a fascinating look at some of the different ways in which the arms of an office can be displayed with the personal arms of an office-holder. I hope that you have found it as interesting as I have!
