Of her three brothers, two had issue: the descendants of Jean adopted the name of Du Lys and used the arms. The family seemed to have arms prior to these events, namely: Azure a bow or in fess, thereon three arrows crossed …, on a chief argent a lion passant gules. It was confirmed in October 1550, on petition of Robert Le Fournier, baron de Tournebeu, and his nephew Lucas du Chemin, seigneur du Féron, both descended from a daughter of Pierre du Lys. Thus, in her family, nobility was transmitted by females. It was made in favor of her parents, her three brothers Jacquemin, Jean and Pierre, and their descendants male and female, in perpetuity. The text of the grant of nobility (Dec 1429) survives. The family was also authorized to adopt the name of Du Lys. The arms were also granted to her family, and it must have taken place in 1429. She testified at her trial that she never used those arms personally, only displaying her famous banner (white, with an image of God holding the world between two angels, and the words Jhesus Maria).
