Saintignon

[1] Ancherin Sainctignon (died before 1439), alderman of Verdun, married to Jeanne Pierxel, whose son also named Ancherin, esquire, alderman of Verdun, married to Jeanne de Chauldeney, in 1498.

Claude-Martin Saugrain wrote in 1726, the Saintignons were the most respected family of Verdun due to their age and numerous charitable gifts.

The Coat of arms of the House De Saintignon consist of 3 castle towers in a triangular formation.

Many of the estates and chateau's that belong and/or belonged to the De Saintignon's bear some variation of the coat of arms (often altered based on region, owner preference, or socio-political trends of the time).

The Lotharingian communes of Hartzviller, Puxe, Vandelainville and the Rhineland-Palatinate municipality of Wolsfeld still show parts of the coats of arms of their former masters, the Saintignon family, on their local coats of arms.
