Most of the members of the Capetian dynasty bore a version of the arms of France. The arms of France were adopted by the Capetian kings only in the twelfth century. Consequently, the cadet branches that had branched off in earlier periods (Burgundy, Vermandois, Dreux and Courtenay) bore entirely different arms.
Today, many coat of arms of places in France are derived from the royal arms of the French king.

Basic Marks of Difference
France Ancient
The most basic marks of difference used by the Capetians were the label, bordure and bend. Charges and variations were added by cadets with the expansion of the dynasty. The cross and saltire were used as marks of distinction by the spiritual peers of France.
Label gules (Capetian House of Anjou) | Bordure gules (House of Valois, later borne by the House of Valois-Anjou) | Bend gules (House of Bourbon) | Bend compony argent and gules (House of Evreux) | Label compony argent and gules | Bordure compony argent and gules (House of Valois-Burgundy) |

King Alfonso XIII of Spain after 1931.
In 1931 Alfonso XIII did away with the distinction between state and personal arms by combining the two (see Spanish Royal Arms).

Juan, Count of Barcelona (1913 † 1993), de jure King of Spain (1931–1977).
Don Juan was the 3rd son of Alfonso XIII, and his designated successor. By this time the Carlist line had died out also, so the Spanish royal family were in fact the senior representatives of Hugh Capet. However, Don Juan, as the younger brother, was not. That belonged to his elder brother, Jaime, Duke of Segovia, who also renounced his rights to the Spanish throne as he was born deaf. The claim as senior agnate of Hugh Capet is continued by his descendant, Louis Alphonse, Duke of Anjou, who claims the French Throne. In lieu of this, Don Juan reinstituted the red bordure of Anjou on the French royal arms. Don Juan formally renounced his rights to his son King Juan Carlos I in 1977.
