Most of the members of the Capetian dynasty bore a version of the arms of France. The arms of France were adopted by the Capetian kings only in the twelfth century. Consequently, the cadet branches that had branched off in earlier periods (Burgundy, Vermandois, Dreux and Courtenay) bore entirely different arms.
Today, many coat of arms of places in France are derived from the royal arms of the French king.

Basic Marks of Difference edit
France Ancient edit
The most basic marks of difference used by the Capetians were the label, bordure and bend. Charges and variations were added by cadets with the expansion of the dynasty. The cross and saltire were used as marks of distinction by the spiritual peers of France.
Label gules (Capetian House of Anjou) | Bend gules (House of Bourbon) | Bend compony argent and gules (House of Evreux) | Label compony argent and gules | Bordure compony argent and gules (House of Valois-Burgundy) |
France Modern edit
Under the House of Bourbon the bend gules gradually evolved into a baton couped, while the label argent and bordure gules were associated with the dukes of Orleans and Anjou, respectively.
