Fleur-de-lis

The fleur-de-lis is a stylized lily used as a heraldic charge. The name is French for lily flower, and it is also spelled fleur-de-lys, with the plural fleurs-de-lis. It is most closely tied to the kings of France and appears today on the flags of Quebec.

France Ancient was an Azure field strewn with gold fleurs-de-lis. Around 1376 Charles V cut them to three, a design known as France Modern, often linked to the Holy Trinity. English kings later quartered those arms to press their claim to the French throne. In English cadency a fleur-de-lis is the mark of a sixth son.

Find the fleur-de-lis in the Plants group on the Charges tab of the coat of arms maker. Set it to Or on a blue field for the French look, or duplicate it into a row. The coat of arms symbols guide covers other plants and what they are said to mean.
