===Heraldic=== {{see also|French heraldry}} {{unreferenced section|date=December 2013}} In the [[Napoleonic era]], the French first empire replaced the [[coronet]]s of traditional ("royal") [[heraldry]] with a rigorously standardized system (as other respects of "Napoleonic" [[coats of arms]]) of toques, reflecting the rank of the bearer. Thus a Napoleonic [[duke]] used a toque with seven [[ostrich]] feathers and three [[Mantling|lambrequin]]s, a [[count]] a toque with five feathers and two lambrequins, a [[baron]] three feathers and one lambrequin, a [[knight]] only one ostrich feather (see [[Nobility of the First French Empire]]).
