Where did coat of arms and royal crests originate?
Back in medieval times, crests of royal families began to appear, and soon throughout England and Europe, these emblems appeared to represent their names and royal lines.
They were considered spoils of war as art were taken when soldiers won battles on the fields, and collected valuable and beautiful works of art.

This addition of art also changed the symbolism of their emblems themselves.
For example, the royal crest of England began as a rampant lion or red lion used by King William I in 1189.
However, when King Edward claimed the French throne in the 14th century, he added the yellow fleur de lis on a blue field to the royal crest of England.
The Queen Mary in the 16th century added her emblem to the crest until it was revered by Queen Elizabeth I in the late 16th century.
