fleur-de-lis

Heraldic device in the form of a stylized iris flower, borne on coats of arms since the 12th century and adopted by the French royal house of Bourbon.

It is usually identified as a lily, though it had other names in the Middle Ages; for example, fleur de glaieul or glagel, and flos gladioli.
