Talk:De Nicolay family

Latest comment: 10 years ago by Shokatz in topic Coat of Arms

The content of the page Nicolay(family) contains information from a number of referenced sources, including documents held by family members and relating to either specific family individuals and/or family groups from several countries. As the page's main contributor, I have attempted to remain objective and have referenced the material wherever possible. Consequently, I believe that no conflict of interest exists currently. However, if anyone would like to proof read the content of this page and volunteer their own views, then feel free. SGNStephen Nicolay (talk) 08:17, 10 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

Coat of Arms

edit

I have removed 'de Sabran' CoA from the article. There is absolutely no support in references or in any other sources I have seen that this family ever used it. In fact the arms in question are those of the 'de Sabran' family which in early medieval times held the 'Barony of Sabran' and shortly County of Forcalquier before moving to Italy (Naples) where they held titles such as 'Counts of Ariano', etc. The reason that both these families held the title of 'Barons of Sabran' might be the reason for confusion. Furthermore this source clearly states the arms of the Nicolay 'Barons of Sabran' was "azure, greyhound courant".

If you are interested about the 'de Sabran' family you can read more on french Wikipedia [1]. Shokatz (talk) 14:41, 12 July 2014 (UTC)Reply
