Summary

Description
English: Coat of arms of the Danish city of Roskilde. The motif is known from seals from the 1250's. The species or meaning of the bird is unknown but it has been speculated that it is derived from the German eagle. Another proposal for the origin of the bird is that is canting for Høgekøbing (hawk-city) a city whose population allegedly was moved to Roskilde. The stream is canting.
Dansk: Roskildes byvåben. Motivet kendes fra segl fra 1250'erne. Det er ukendt hvad fuglen betyder, eller hvilken art, der er tale om. Det er blevet foreslået, at der skulle være tale om et derivat af den tyske ørn. Ligeledes er det blevet påstået, at fuglen skulle være talende for byen Høgekøbing, hvis befolkning angiveligt skulle være blevet flyttet til Roskilde. Kilden mellem murene er talende.
