The Bearne Coat of Arms is a heraldic symbol associated with Andorra, a microstate located in the eastern Pyrenees mountains. This particular coat of arms represents the historic region of Bearn (or Barn), which was once part of modern-day southwestern France but is no longer an administrative division.The Andorran Bearne Coat of Arms features three yellow (or golden) pales on a red field, signifying the three counties of Bearn: the County of Marsan, the County of Bigorre, and the County of Aure. In heraldry, a pale is a vertical stripe that spans the width of the shield. The arms are surmounted by a royal crown, emphasizing the historical link between Andorra and Bearn’s feudal system.The presence of this coat of arms in Andorra commemorates the region’s political and cultural ties with Bearn throughout history, particularly during the High Middle Ages when Bearn was an important vassal to the Counts of Foix, who held the position of co-princes of Andorra. The Bearne Coat of Arms is a significant emblem of Andorran heritage and continues to be used in various official capacities.
