Coat Of Arms Of The Principality Of Wales

The Coat of Arms of the Principality of Wales is a Coat Of Arms used by the Prince Of Wales . Unlike the Royal Coat Of Arms Of England and Royal Coat Of Arms Of Scotland in their respective countries, it has not very often been used in Wales as a national symbol in the past. However it is now increasingly seen, without the crown. It may be Blazon ed ''quarterly Or and gules, four lions countercharged langued and armed azure.'' It is based on the arms borne by Llewelyn The Great , the famous 13th-century Welsh prince. HISTORY When in 1911 the future King Edward VIII was made Prince of Wales, a warrant exemplifying his arms was issued. Along with the usual Royal Arms Differenced by a "label" of three points, his main arms included an "inescutcheon surtout" crowned with the heir apparent's Crown and containing these arms to represent the principality of Wales. It is unclear whether, before this date, they were thought of as the "arms of Wales" or simply as the "arms of Llewelyn". But they had certainly not previously been used by heirs to the English or UK thrones; indeed, in his 1909 book ''A Complete Guide to Heraldry,'' is based. In the 1960s, the Prince Of Wales decided to use a banner of the Principality's arms, defaced with an inescutcheon of his heraldic crown, when performing royal duties in Wales.
