From
http://www.ngw.nl/heraldrywiki/index.php?title=Vang:
"The arms are based on the arms of Lord Sigvat of Leirhol. He was named as one
of the members of the delegation that followed King Håkon V Magnusson to
Copenhagen in 1309. Later he became the local governor of Valdres and
Hallingdal, Vang is part of the Valdres region. He played a major role in the
development of the region and the arms can be seen on different places, among
these the local church (probably from the 18th century). The arms are based on
descriptions and images from historical rolls of arms."
The municipal site describes the
Vang wooden church mentioning the representation of Sigvat's arms that are
now the municipal arms. The church was resettled in the 19th century by King
Frierich of Prussia in what is today Poland.
