Summary[edit]

Description
English: Coat of arms used by the prince-bishops of Sion of the Riedmatten family.

The prince-bishops used their family coats of arms. The Riedmatten coat of arms was in use for much of the early modern period (1529–1545, 1565–1613, 1640–1701) and is presented as coat of arms of the bishopric in e.g. Siebmacher (1605).

The sword and crozier shown as supporters in the print by Münster are adopted as heraldic charges in the modern (19th century?) coat of arms of the diocese.
