The Peerage of France consisted of the highest-ranking members of the French nobility. The original twelve peers were constituted in time immemorial.
Later peers were created by the King of France. The coats of arms shown below depict the arms of the peer when the peerage was granted.
Peers who changed arms are marked with an asterisk (*), followed by a reference to titles later or formerly borne.
