@stupidlittlegenius: Why do we have ‘three lions on our shirt’? ⚽️ 🦁 Lions aren’t exactly native to England! But kings saw them as royal and loved sticking them on crests! Only trouble is, technically, is you want to be historically pedantic about it, these are actually leopards. But it’s ok, British heralds renamed them ‘Lions Passant Guardant’, or just Lions for short!! And we only have three becuase Richard the Lionheart needed money fast! So he went one Lion more than his dad! And that that boils down to “THREE LIONS ON MY SHIRT!!!” Come on England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 #etymology #LearnOnTikTok #threelions #footballhistory #historytok
