The Coat of arms of Catalonia is based on four red pallets on gold background which have been used since the Middle Ages on several coats of arms. Its origin is strongly related to that of the arms of the Crown of Aragon. It is considered by heraldists and by the government of Catalonia to be originally the familiar arms of the Counts of Barcelona,〔〔〔 and it was adopted by the descendents of Ramon Berenguer IV, Count of Barcelona as Kings of Aragon.〔〔 Several authors strongly dispute the origin of coat and consider the arms to always have been those of the Kings of Aragon.〔 It is one of the oldest coats of arms in Europe dating back in a seal of Ramon Berenguer IV, Count of Barcelona from 1150.〔〔〔〔 ==Heraldic description== The blazon of the arms is: ''Or, four pallets of gules, ensigned with a royal crown''.〔Ampelio Alonso de Cadenas y López; Vicente de Cadenas y Vicent. (1985a). Heráldica de las Comunidades Autónomas y de las capitales de provincia. Ediciciones Hidalguía: Madrid (Spain). ISBN 8400060407〕 In heraldry, the escutcheon is traditionally called as of the King of Aragon, although some medieval armories display the same arms also on the entry for the Count of Barcelona. Modernly called of Aragon 〔(Presidencia del gobierno. "The coat of arms" )〕 or of Barcelona.〔("blasón aragonés de cuatro cuarteles llamados de Sobrarbe, Aínsa, Alcoraz y Barcelona" ) at the ''Great Aragonese Encyclopedia''〕 It has been described on the Middle Ages armorials as in "Armorial du Hérault Vermandois", 1285-1300,〔(Armorial du Hérault Vermandois, Introduction )〕 as that of the King of Aragon, naming specifically Peter III as one of the bearers, is described as ''These are the arms of the Counts of Barcelona who acquired Aragón by marriage (...)'', the one of Count of Barcelona is the same ''or three pallets gules'',〔(Armorial du Hérault Vermandois, Le Royaume d Arragon, Nos 1047 - 1061 ) see 1047 Le Roy d Arragon and 1051 the entry for the Conte de Barsellonne〕 the arms of the King of Majorca are those of Aragon, with the coat of arms of James II, King of Majorca being ''or four pallets gules a bend azure'' 〔(Armorial du Hérault Vermandois, Rois ) King of Majorca entry〕 and the one of the King of Ternacle ''d Aragon et Ternacle en flanquiet lun dedans lautre (...) Per pale or four pallets gules and argent (...)''.〔 The coat of arms with the four red pales on a gold background appears on several other coats of arms, named as "of Aragon".〔(Armorial du Hérault Vermandois, Le Royaume d Arragon, Nos 1047 - 1061 ) see 1054 Le Duc de Monblanc, 1055 Le Conte de Daigne Marquis de Villames, 1056 Le Conte d Ourgel, 1057 Le Conte de Prades, 1058 Le Compte d Ampures,〕 Also mentioned in Armorial de Gelre, 1370-1395, the coat of arms of Peter IV ''Die Coninc v.
