The so-called Bars of Aragon, Royal arms of Aragon, Four Bars, Red Bars or Coat of arms of the Crown of Aragon, which bear four red paletts on gold background, depicts the familiar coat of the Kings of Aragon.〔" Léon Jéquier. Actes du II Colloque international d'héraldique". Breassone.1981. Académie internationale d'héraldique. Les Origines des armoiries. Paris. ISBN 2-86377-030-6.〕 It differs from the flag because this latter uses fesses. It is one of the oldest coats of arms in Europe dating back to a seal of Raymond Berengar IV, Count of Barcelona and Prince of Aragon, from 1150.〔〔Paul Adam Even. "L'heraldique catalane au moyen age" in Hidalguia, 22, Mayo–Junio 1957. Madrid. p465.〕〔Faustino Menéndez-Pidal. "Palos de oro y gules" in Studia in honorem prof. M. de Riquer (pars quarta). Quaderns Crema.1991.p669. ISBN 84-7727-067-8〕〔Martí de Riquer. "Heràldica catalana: des l'any 1150 al 1550". Quaderns Crema.1982. ISBN 84-85704-34-7〕 Today, this symbol has been adopted and/or included in their arms by several former territories related to the Crown of Aragon, like the arms of Spain, which wears it in its third quarter whereas the kings of Spain are heirs of those of Aragon; the shield of Andorra, which also shows it in its third quarter. It is also the main element of the arms of the present Spanish Autonomous Communities of Catalonia, Valencian Community and the Balearic Islands; the fourth quarter of the Spanish Autonomous Community of Aragon; of the French regions of Languedoc-Roussillon (Department of the Pyrénées-Orientales, whose territory regroups the old province of Roussillon and French Cerdagne); and in the Italian provinces of Reggio de Calabria, Catanzaro in Calabria and Lecce in Apulia. It figures also in numerous located municipal blazons in the territories of the Crown, either by explicit concession of the king, or because they were cities or towns of ''realengo'' (that is, directly dependent on the Crown and subject to no kind of manorialism); and others outside it, in which case the symbol is because of the presence of the king or knights of the Crown at some moment of their local history. ==Heraldic description== The blazon of the arms is: ''Or, four pallets of gules''.〔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 commonly known as that of the ''of Aragon''.〔(Presidencia del gobierno. "The coat of arms" )〕 These pallets of gules are commonly named in popular usage and culture as the ''"red bars"''〔«E es cert quel senyal per los molts alts Reys darago atorgat e confermat a la dita Ciutat era e es lur propri senyal Reyal de bastons o barres grogues e vermelles». ''Manual de Consells de 1377'' (Archivo Histórico Municipal de Valencia, años 1375–1383, n. 17, sig. A)〕 or the ''"four bars"''.〔«Estará formado por dos óvalos: uno exterior de trazo grueso y uno interior de trazo delgado, con las cuatro barras inscritas y sobrepasando el óvalo interior hasta alcanzar el exterior». Decreto 97/1981, de 2 de abril (DOGC nº 123, de 29 de abril. Correcciones en DOGC nº 141, de 10 de julio). Signo de la Generalitat.〕 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() Arragoen'' is golden with four pallers of gulets〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Folio 62r 637.Pierre IV, R. d'Aragon )〕 or the Armorial d'Urfé, 1380, ''sont les armes de le Conte de Cathalogne'', and in armorial de Charolais, 1425, ''arms conte de Barselongne'' and armorial Le Blanq (sources from 1420–1450) ''venant des contes de Barselone'',〔Michel Poppof.
