+Cadet branch of the [[House of La Rochefoucauld]] <!-- I'd be more cautious with this one. This is a theory among others. Some more recent theories also suggest that Hugues more likely married the daughter of Foucaud Ier de la Roche. I don't think anyone can say for certain, as none of the women are identified beyond doubt (and that's an understatement) in any of the three main theories. -->

The political meaning behind those arms is rather obvious as they were the closest officers in the entourage of the counts from the 10th c. and the border roundely is an extremely frequent feature in all of occitan heraldry. -->
