Description: | Medieval Gilt horse harness pendant, shield-shaped, enamel missing. [Azure] semy-de-lis Or. Although the blue enamel is missing these are probably the arms of FRANCE ANCIENT, ante c.1365 in France, after which the number of fleurs-de-lis were reduced to three. Henry IV of England followed suit in 1405 with the quartered arms of France and England (which illustrated the ongoing English claim to the French throne). | Subjects: | pendant | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Bales, Ellen - Norfolk Museums and Archaeology Service | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
