Gules, a semi of Saint Cyriaque proper clad Argent, haloed Or, holding in

Željko Heimer, 23 October 1999
Some explanations: In 1154 the bishop Saint Amedee gave to the Saint-Maire
priory the church of Saint-Cierges, which was one of the oldest of the region. It
was dedicated to Saint Cyriaque, who gave his name to the village. The
armorial bearings adopted in 1910 recall this former patron saint and his legend
(the fabulous animal represents the daemon overcome by the saint).
Pascal Gross, 20 October 1999
Translated from the French blazon:
"Gules a bust of Saint Cyriaque habited Argent his head proper nimbed
Or, holding in his dexter hand a branch Vert and with his sinister hand
caressing a fabulous reptile of the same."
Santiago Dotor, 24 October 1999
On an escutcheon Gules a Dog Or gorged Argent, bordered Nebuly Azure and
Argent.
Željko Heimer, 29 October 1999
Shouldn't the blue area be a border? I mean, shield shaped in a coat of arms,
but square in a banner of arms?
António Martins, 29 October 1999
As I was not sure on the way to convert the coat of arms into a banner of
arms for Thierrens, I had a phone conversation with the syndic (in Switzerland
equivalent to the mayor) and the municipal treasurer. This last person went
upstairs to have a look at a show-window in the council-chamber where a copy of
this flag is kept. I made the image according to his description, therefore, I
think that the flag I sent to the list is correct.
Pascal Gross, 30 October 1999
I suppose the question in Thierrens is whether the shield is charged with a
border or a scocheon (escutcheon, inescutcheon). In the first case the flag has
a border, in the second it bears a shield. This can be a puzzler for the herald,
unless the border is itself charged. On a banner, though, the difference
is clear.
