History of the fleur-de-lis

This flower consists of three identical petals and three identical sepals. The lily has a majestic and elegant appearance and is available in different colours: white, red, orange or spotted. Thanks to its beauty, it is one of the most popular flowers in florists' shops. In addition, because it blooms mainly in summer, it is often the queen of flowers at major ceremonies.

The fleur-de-lys is a national emblem of royalty because it appeared on the king's flag during the Ancient Regime. The national flag of the Kingdom of France usually features three fleurs-de-lis. Present on the coats of arms and flags of the French monarchy, the golden fleur-de-lis is actually a yellow iris.

Because of its great value in religious tradition, the fleur-de-lys was symbolically very present in the form of the trifid egret in the Frankish kingdoms, the Byzantine Empire and the Lombard kingdom. Today, the fleur-de-lis is still an emblem of the French presence in North America, particularly in Quebec where it is a national symbol.

It seems that Louis VII was instrumental in the adoption of the fleur-de-lis as the preferred symbol of French royalty. The fleur-de-lis is said to have made its first appearance on the sceptre of Charles le Chauve (823-877), grandson of Charlemagne, King of West Francia (742-814) and Emperor of the West (800).

The fleur-de-lis flag: a symbol closely linked to French history

As seen above, the fleur-de-lis has long been a symbol of the Monarchy and was naturally used on the emblems of many French kings as their official seal or flag. Under the monarchy, this distinctive symbol was also used on the banner of the army and navy as a sign of support for the crown. The blue and gold flag of the Kingdom of France includes three fleurs-de-lis to represent the Holy Trinity and was the official symbol of the monarch's duty to God and country.

During the French Revolution, which was marked by the storming of the Bastille, the revolutionaries decided to fly the tricolour flag as a symbol of France and of their struggle, rejecting the fleur-de-lys flags which were the official symbols of royalty and by extension of oppression.

However, the history of the Fleur de Lys did not stop at this period. The symbol is also found on Napoleon's official flag, which features gold fleurs-de-lis against a backdrop of the national colours blue-white-red.
