The heraldic details of the Longueil and Boulenc families at Maisons Castle and their preservation through the centuries

Summary/Abstract: We often think that coats of arms are elements that identify their wearers in the Middle Ages. However, these heraldic visual designs are used even in later periods of history up to the present day. It is for this purpose that we have chosen to study this often forgotten subject and link it with other symbols for a first analysis of the armorial achievement of the 17th century owners of the Maisons Castle, Rene de Longueil and Madeleine Boulenc de Crevecoeur, who placed the order for the construction of this historical monument today. The composition of these two family and their armorial achievement construction is very complex and deserves our full attention. Starting from their original location on the inside and outside parts of the structure, passing through heraldic elements and examining it’s field, charge and escutcheon of the coat of arms, analyzing the compartment, supporters and other symbolic signs, finalizing by understanding the cultural heritage and the identity of the named family.
