The Royal Arms of England has changed over the years to include more heraldic beasts brought into the history of the Crown by various monarchs. One figure has remained consistent from the moment the early kingdoms and monarchs adopted a Royal Arms: the lion. The Three Lions is so ubiquitous in English society that national sports teams, such as the national football team, are simply known as the Three Lions by Britons.
