PCT4266653: weapons of Great Britain carried by a lion and a chain unicorn. The crown is topped by the lion of Judee. The motto of the order of the garter created by King Henry VIII “” Honi be wary of it” surrounds the ecu bearing the following symbols: at the top left the leopards of England and the lion of Scotland. Top right are the lilies of France. Lower left is the lyre of Ireland. Lower right are the two Normandy leopards, the white horse of Kent and the lion of Scotland. Undated engraving, probably 18th century. “God and my right” is the motto of the sovereign. This was the password chosen by King Richard I before the Battle of Gisors in 1198; he wanted to mean that he was not a vassal of France, but that he held his title as God alone. The formula became the royal motto of England under Henry VI. Always taken over by his successors, it appears under the shield of the royal coat of arms. / Bridgeman Images
