DUCHESSE DE BOUILLON (11 S. V. 70,
153, 273). The family " de la Tour d'Au- vergne " were of "la Vieille Noblesse " in France, their arms being " Seme de France, a la Tour d' Argent " ; and quarter- ing the arms of Auvergne : " d'Or, au Gon- fanon de gueules f range de Sinople." In my copy of the ' Armorial Universel,' anno 1679, at plate 18, the " Due de Bouillon, la Mark," lias his shield : Quarterly, 1 and 4, La Mark, d'Or, a la fasce echiquete d' Argent et de Gueules ; 2, Auvergne ; 3, La Tour d' Auvergne.
There were two other families of the name of "la Tour " bearing quite distinct arms : ( 1 ) La Tour du Pin, en Dauphine, bearing De Gueules a une Tour d'Argent crenelee de trois pieces, fenestree d'un Mur de meme ; (2) La Tour Landry : D'Or, a la fasce de Gueules, crenelee de deux pieces et deux demies.
