Alternate COA Italy, Syria, Scotland

[LlywelynII]

Syrian coat of arms: cendrée, Holy Lance of Antioch palewise argent (based on Armenian spear)

Scottish coat of arms: azure, saltire argent

Is the Spear Antioch-specific or is there any record of it being used for Syria in general?

Antioch, but we're talking about a crusader state for Syria.

I'd imagine IRL the state would've had the arms of its Crusader ruler or a series of crosses, but this is a less boring alternative.

The Italian COA I created because it seemed inappropriate to appropriate the COAs of still-serving vassals. The game should prolly have one that doesn't include the German eagle and does have Venice and the other regional COAs in addition to Milan.

Huhn. Learn something new every day.

In post 18 of this thread, Gigau links to this page on the French wiki which shows that Bohemond originally gave the Principality of Antioch this COA:

Later, the Principality used a COA which was just a red field quartered with the French fleur-de-lis, which wouldn't be appropriate unless the French liberated it.

Napoleonic Italy COA:

Maritime Italy (Venice + Genoa + Pisa + Amalfi):

Northern Italy (Venice + Milan + Genoa + Pisa + Florence + Modena):

edit: Hmm... that last one could look better without the personal dynastic arms:
