Map of France showing where the Dublé arms are recorded
The Dublé arms were recorded in Bourgogne, c. 1663.
Bourgogne was one of the richest parts of France, built on wine, wool and the roads that carried both. Wealth of that kind bought land, and land brought arms, so the region filled with armed families earlier than most of the country.
This is where the arms were entered in the register. Families often moved to other parts of the country, so the same name can turn up in more than one region.

How Arms Worked in France
In France, a coat of arms was a mark of honor that passed down through the male line to all legitimate descendants. Families often used the same shield without changes to show their shared heritage. If a branch wanted to stand out, they could add a small mark to their shield to show their specific place in the family tree.
Granting authority
The Juge d'armes de France acted as the official authority that regulated and verified coats of arms across the country.
How they got arms
Families typically inherited their arms from ancestors, though they could also receive them through royal grants or by proving their noble status.
Where arms were recorded
Coats of arms were officially recorded in the Armorial Général de France, which began its main collection in the year 1696.
The family's standing
Recorded among the armigerous families of Bourgogne.
Origin & History of the Dublé Family in France
The family name Dublé traces its roots back to the historic region of Bourgogne in eastern France. By the year 1663, records confirm that members of the family were well-established within this area, which was known for its fertile land and significant influence on French culture. The name itself likely originated as a descriptive nickname, as the French word "double" often referred to someone with a dual nature or perhaps a person of significant physical stature. During the seventeenth century, families in Bourgogne were deeply connected to the local agricultural economy and the social structures of the village parishes. As the family grew, they became part of the regional tapestry that defined life in the heart of France, maintaining their presence in the province through generations of local trade and community involvement.
