Historical information
The unicorn and lion coat of arms is a significant symbol in heraldry, particularly in the royal coat of arms of the United Kingdom. The lion represents England, while the unicorn symbolizes Scotland. This combination dates back to the accession of James I of England in 1603, who was also James VI of Scotland, marking the union of the two crowns. In the Scottish coat of arms, the unicorn is often depicted in chains, symbolizing its strength and the need for control, while the lion is also prominently featured, representing royal authority.
