In this age the Grimaldi began their ascent among the largest families of the Republic of Genoa, involved in the first struggles of the time. [ 5 ] In this context, the figure of Grimaldo therefore stands as that of the eponymous progenitor, the famous consul whose descendants wanted to keep his name as the surname of the same family.
The armoured friars on either side of the shield reflect the creation of Monaco under Grimaldi rule, involving one François Grimaldi also known as the "Malizia".
