Scope note
Crosses having two crossbars, either of the same size or with a lower one of longer length. In the version with a shorter one crossing above the center and a longer one below the center, the cross often signifies the Free French during WW II. In the version where both crossbars are of the same length, the cross denotes the rank of cardinal in the Roman Catholic church, or the Duke of Lorraine.
