Richard Lionheart's Flag

"Flag of Richard I, Lion-Heart"

Richard I, Lion-Heart (1189-1199) / Richard Lionheart, most likely used a shield with gold lions (although the number of lions could be in dispute). On crusade, a crusader in his army might have used a crescent as Islam at the time had no such easily recognisable symbol, using instead battle flags in plain red, plain white or plain black. Starting with Richard I, all of the monarchs of England and after them the monarchs of The United Kingdom, have used a banner of their arms as their royal standard. In the case of Richard I his arms (and those of his predecessor Henry II) were Gules three lions passant guardant or. The lions reportedly represent England, Normandy, and Aquitaine. (©crwflags.com)
