Скачать или смотреть Why Are Lions On Medieval European Flags?

Europe is covered in lions, on flags, coats of arms, and royal symbols, but strangely, the continent hasn’t had wild lions for quite some time. This video explores why Europeans were fascinated with the big cat, despite having none within their continent. From the ancient European lions that were hunted into extinction, to the influence of trade, bestiaries, religion, and royal symbolism, we’ll uncover how the lion became Europe’s ultimate emblem of power, faith, and kingship.
