French for "flower of the lily", the [[Fleur De Lis|fleur-de-lis]] is a common symbol used in medieval heraldry, often to signify purity (in some cases, it was associated with the Virgin Mary).

The symbol was used in many countries, but is most notable with France, because of their common use of gold fleur-de-lis on royal blue backgrounds. It was used on their flags, coats of arms, and as [[Symbol Motif Clothing]] on the kings' [[Requisite Royal Regalia|royal]] [[Pimped-Out Cape|robes]] and the queens' [[Pimped-Out Dress|Pimped Out Dresses]] (as in the picture).
