Original Note:
The Coburg Moor is actually supposed to be the town's patron saint, Saint Maurice. Who was of course not a Moor. Just because ignorant Europeans of the past used the word incorrectly doesn't mean everyone they called Moor was one. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coburg#Coat_of_arms https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Maurice https://www.sankofaarchives.com/crests-moorish-heads-the-coat-of-arms-of-the-german-city-of-coburg/ https://blackcentraleurope.com/sources/1000-1500/the-coburg-moor-ca-1380-present/
