The Bishops of Urgel

Postby Jonathan Webster » 08 Mar 2013, 17:03

Does anyone have any information as regards the arms of any of the Bishops of Urgel (and ex-officio Co-Princes of Andorra)?

Unfortunately the official diocesean site of the diocese of Urgel dosent include any pictures of Bishop's Arms but there is a list of bishops http://www.bisbaturgell.org/ under bispat de Urgell - Episcopologi.

I wonder if there is any significance as regards the coronet above the shield.

Maybe because he is a co-prince of Andorra.

That's what it says the blog I got it from. I wonder if that means the other Co-Prince should use a crown. Also, I wonder that the Bishop doesn't use arms of dominion

Probably not. The other co-prince is the president of the French Republic, ex officio.

-I believe the Arms of Andorra themselves qualify constitutionally as this; as they represent both co-princes, (as it is a diarchy) and not just one of them.
