Augmentation of honour

The new Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region has also granted the right to Rémi Mathis, who has created their new coat of arms, to bear them himself en surtout[citation needed].

[1] In Scotland the most frequent augmentation is the double tressure flory-counter-flory, the most distinctive feature of the Scottish royal arms, for example as granted (in a somewhat ironic usage) by Henry VIII of England to Thomas Howard, 2nd Duke of Norfolk (an Englishman) after his victory over the Scots at the Battle of Flodden.

A more bona fide one was granted by Charles II of England to William Drummond, 1st Viscount Strathallan (c.1617–1688), a Scots nobleman and Royalist during the Civil War.

[4] Charles V's grandmother Isabella I of Castille added a pomegranate to her coat of arms in honor of the capture of Granada.

Gules, on a mount vert a lion passant guardant or, supporting with its dexter paw the union flag proper, and over the same in chief the words "China, India," in letters of gold On a mural crown argent, a lion passant guardant or, holding in the dexter paw two flag-staves in bend sinister proper, the one bearing the union flag of Great Britain and Ireland surmounting the other, the staff thereof broken, with a triangular banner flowing therefrom being intended to represent a Chinese flag, having thereon the device of a dragon, in an escroll above the word "China".
