Chalon-Arlay

Coat of arms of the lord of Arlay (red shield with gold bend). They eventually succeeded to the undifferenced arms as well as to the principality of Orange.[1]

Chalon-Arlay was a noble house of the Holy Roman Empire. They were the lords of Arlay in the county of Burgundy and a cadet branch of the ruling house of the county, the House of Ivrea.[2] The founder of the house was John I of Chalon-Arlay, fifth son of John, Count of Chalon. When John III, lord of Arlay, married Mary de Baux, princess of Orange, the House acquired the principality of Orange.
