Armorial of the House of Plantagenet

Enamel portrait of Geoffrey Plantagenet, Count of Anjou (1113/17–1151), formerly on his tomb in Le Mans Cathedral, Anjou, France, now in the Museum of Archeology and History in Le Mans. Visible on half his shield of azure are four lions rampant or, arranged in a manner reminiscent of the full-shield of six lions rampant (3,2,1) borne by his grandson William Longespée, 3rd Earl of Salisbury

The House of Plantagenet was the first truly armigerous royal dynasty of England. Their predecessor, Henry I of England, had presented items decorated with a lion heraldic emblem to his son-in-law, Plantagenet founder Geoffrey, Count of Anjou, and his family experimented with different lion-bearing coats until these coalesced during the reign of his grandson, Richard I (1189–1199), into a coat of arms with three lions on a red field, formally Gules, three lions passant guardant or (armed and langued azure), that became the Royal Arms of England, and colloquially those of England itself. The various cadet branches descended from this family bore differenced versions of these arms, while later members of the House of Plantagenet would either quarter or impale these arms with others to reflect their political aspirations.

King Henry II 1133–1189 Possible: Gules, a lion rampant (? contourné)

Possible: Gules, two lions passant[1][3]

Son of: Geoffrey of Anjou and Empress Matilda.
No contemporary account provides him with arms, though attempts have been made to extrapolate what he may have used based on those of his sons and other kin.

In French blazoning, the lion passant guardant was often termed a léopard. However, this usage was never widespread in England, and is long obsolete.[4]

Queen Eleanor 1124?–1204 Attributed:Gules, a lion passant guardant in pale Or[5] Daughter of: William X, Duke of Aquitaine, Duke of Aquitaine and Aenor de Châtellerault.

Married to: King Henry II; 1152–1189.
There is not surviving contemporary evidence of her using arms, but later historians would attribute these arms to her.

Possible: Two lions combatant[8]

Possible: Two lions passant[8]

Gules, three lions passant guardant Or[1][9]

Son of: King Henry II and Queen Eleanor.

His arms are only known from two armorial seals, and hence the tinctures can not be determined. His First Great Seal showed one lion on half of the shield. It is debated whether this was meant to represent two lions combatant or a single lion, and if the latter, whether the direction in which the lion is facing is relevant or simply an artistic liberty. A simple lion rampant is most likely.[7]

At the end of his life, his second seal showed three lions, clearly the three-lion coat used by his successors.[1][7]
