England will once again wear the three lions on their kit this summer at Euro 2024.
England have been wearing the iconic Three Lions badge on their shirt for more than 150 years, but do you know the reason why? England played with the Three Lions on their kit that day and it has been a symbol of the national side ever since – even becoming the subject of a famous song by Baddiel and Skinner and the Lightning Seeds.But England were simply using the same crest that had been adopted by the Football Association when it was formed in 1863.
While England supporters will be familiar with the badge, not many are likely to know the reason why there are three lions on the crest. The first represents King Henry I, who ruled the country from 1100 to his death in 1135 and was widely known as the Lion of England.When he got married to Adeliza of Louvain in 1121, he demanded a second lion was added to the Royal Arms to honour his father-in-law, Godfrey I, Count of Louvain.The third lion wasn't added until 1154, when King Henry II - grandson of Henry I - married Eleanor of Aquitaine.
