The key
One row for every element on the plate. The letter is the one written on the drawing — the heralds' short form of the colour. Touch a row and the plate shows you its element.
How sure the record is
candidate — canonical candidate at Rietstap 1884 vol. 2 p. 92 (Lombard — Provence); the eight-generation bridge from Pierre Lombard (1715) to Maria Magdalena is not established
belief 0.20 · disbelief 0.20 · unsure 0.60 — Rietstap's armorial, a candidate match aligned to the Provence Huguenot heartland; specialist verification pending
These arms are drawn, not painted: the record paints a coat only when it holds it as established. The colours in the key are what the painting would use, on whose word the key says.
Where the drawing comes from
Rietstap 1884 Vol.2 p.92 'Lombard — Provence' (SRC-2026-018); candidate

One coat as the register holds it on 2026-08-26: 4 elements, each with its tincture, its drawing register, and the rule-of-tincture verdict. The marshalling of any two houses onto one shield is the Table's work; the other plates are here.
