In the Middle Ages, the lily was a symbol of purity and innocence and also symbolised the patronage of St Mary. In a Christian context, the tripartite division of the lily flower symbolised the Holy Trinity of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
According to legend, the fleuer de lys was presented to the Merovingian King Clovis I in the early Middle Ages by an angel who descended from heaven to earth - and the lily was thus considered the coat of arms of French kings throughout the Middle Ages.
