- A brief rundown of the historical milestones associated with the Fleu de Lis symbol. Made because I see this design utilized with absurd regularity and I was curious why.

The Fleur de Lis also was used to represent the Catholic symbol for trinity.
And I have a trinity of them on my family crest...
Based
Royalty
Enlightenment
Could you please give a more vague statement.
I came here to learn more about Fleur-de-Lis cause of Saints Row games.
Yea same
My childhood home had a fleur-de-lis on the bottom of the staircase post. It was a wooden carving and the bottom part of the pole was what appeared to be wheat carving.
It was built in 1895.
It comes from France. The "Fleur de Lys" is the favorite flower of King Clovis of France.
The Song at the end is the French Monarchy Anthem of Louis XIV King of France. Tchaïkovski
It was used on the old French flag
Nice research. You got yourself quite a long way.
I would like to share my research on this.
The symbol is quite literally "the sign of the kings". You will find it synonomous with all modern royalty around the world.
France is by no means the origin. I found the symbol prevalent amongst the decorations of the homes and palaces of the Ceasars of Rome, during a recent excavation of Cassius Forum.
The symbol goes back much further than that though, but the modern Fleur De Lis is quite embelished.
The original symbol was quite simple, a cross, like a multiplication symbol, with a line going straight down through the center.
It appears in the first known civilisation called The Sumerians, in what is today southern Iraq.
Over the millenia, it has been more and more embelished until we see the modern fleur de lis appearing.
The Sumerians made a lot of artwork in clay, which has been unearthed in only the last century. A lot of it is quite available to view on the internet.
In this context, the simpler symbol refers to "the kings that descended from the heavens."
But actually, the more you look into it, and what is behind the symbol, the more disturbing it becomes, especially in the modern context of relationships with Monarchy and Religion.
It's in the popeyes Louisiana chicken sign
Its also known as the devils flower, I just made a video about it yesterday... please read what is under my video.
today i noticed that this symbol is present on my bed and many other devil faces.!!
you are saying so much shit. The fleur the lys symbol is no where seen in roman monuments and the fleur de lys can be seen in europe because of marriage etc . the oldest symbol of the flower as we know is found in france.
I don't know if you are talking about the fleur de lys or the symbol made of it which is french
⚜️ This one is definitely the symbol of French monarchy...
The ones you see in Rome etc.. are just lilies not fleur-de-lis
The fleur de lis has long been my most favorite decorating motif. I have things with the emblem in every room of my house, on my clothes and jewelry, etc. I always knew it as the French coat of arms based on a flower, but had no idea the history was so much deeper and more interesting. Awesome vid!
La fleur de Lys has been polarized and used by the French Monarchy. Indeed this symbol belongs the Kingdom of France since very long time with the French Monarch Louis VII. La Fleur de Lys is therefore a French and Christian symbol.
How you feel about it been a symbol for branding slaves? Is that awesome too?
@@louisianaredd731 of course not, but do you still use numbers? Because in 1940 in concentration camps nazis replaced the names of the jews by numbers printed on their skin.
So do you still want to use numbers?
Or look like an antisemit?
Yes, but in that case, three lilies have to be arranged in a radius, edited into one.
It's very strange because my brother is named Lee and I've got emojis on my phone for some things I say every time I say my brother's name in a sentence this happens Lee ⚜
Lis is pronounced “lease”. I hate to burst your bubble.
It is a symbol representing torus vortex energy, more appropriately, apple shaped torus vortex energy.
Since louisville ky is mentioned, thats where i am from. And its everywhere. Growing up i thought it was louisville's own logo in a sort of way but then i learned the history of it a while back. And most people pronounce Louisville "Louiville" or if you are country which i am you say "lulville"
Great video. I want to use it as a graphic icon, design but don't know what it implies...
What about the fact it is also used for scouting??
Edit: It is used in scouts for it is said to point forwards or upwards ( the right direction) and neither left or right
Regarding the theory of the Lis actually being an Iris. In Dutch, the language most closely related to old Frankish (the Germanic language the French nobility would've spoken), the iris is in fact called a LIS. However the origins of this word are a bit muddy... Maybe even literally, may literally mean 'plant growing in the mud'.
And another issue with this is that the supposed French cognate is laîche, which has another meaning so...
Who knows...
Lovely video which brought me to a new book I'd like to read, thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
It's also in Quebec's flag by the way
Yep since it was French
it was the emblem of king david in Jerusalem 1600 years ago
How you know that
Fleur, prononced like blur
It's light....that's what it is...a torsion field. Magnetic and dielectric.
Thanks for saving me hours :-)
I came here because I am a scout and for my project I had to make a diorama about this+shout-out to all aussies;)
dude, this is cool
Very interesting! BTW, the s in Lis is not silent.
Is it connected to the fasces symbol.....? The fasces symbol of Rome is found on the English golden state coach Prince Charles has the fleur de lis as his official symbol.
On popeyes Louisiana ktichen sign?
In the Hungarian tradition, in our ancient writing, liliom is the reading of two syllables from top to bottom. The reading means god (in Hungarian: IS-TEN). The upper, larger part of the symbol containing two lilies represents the parent god, the lower, smaller lily represents the child god. It was put on a compass so that we remember that God shows the true direction. The king's scepter and crown were placed in order to remember that the king's power comes from God.
hey, howd you know i like to sound smarter to my casual acquaintances??!!!
Try Electric Earth channel, and the Thunderbolts Project channel...also Praveen Mohan...
Lilies are my favorite flowers. I didn't know they represented the VIRGIN MARY! I've always loved this symbol because it represents my favorite flower and the TRINITY! 😍😍
When I was younger and on LSD I hallucinated the Fleur De Lis everywhere. It was all over the walls and floors.
It was also used in the Kingdom of Bosnia and the Banate of Bosnia. Also used in the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina (1992-1997).
In Bosnia you will see a Bosnian version of the Fleur de lis all over the place!
Yeah but the original symbol comes from france
@@danemon8423 France and Bosnia had no relations woth each other meaning that Bosnian couldn't steal the symbol. Nobody has the original symbol. It has changed across empires and it was changed a bit. The exact origin is unknown, but it was used by the Frankish the most
@@imadhusic at that time the french kingdom was even known in eastern europe.
Understand that i am talking about the design not the symbol itself.
The symbol itself was used even in persia and india and indeed rome.But the desgin is totally different.
The lys was used in many countries but the design was different and literllay represented a lys. The most known design of the fleur de lys is found on a painting of clovis.
@@danemon8423 Oh I see. Sorry for the misunderstanding. I wish you the best in future and in life!
@@imadhusic thanks , you too
Going back in history a bit more, see the video: "Curse behind the fleur de lis": (a symbol of the winged snake god, the nachash, the angel of light, the serpent, the shinning one, the feathered snake god). It is an idol god symbol from ancient Egypt and Babylon. ... Also read article from: the San Francisco Call( the morning call), newspaper, article titled: " ship loads of Africans for the new Orleans market", dated: Friday, 3/27/1891, pg 5, image 5. It talks about how the fleur de lis was a branding tool for slaves: 1st offense, one shoulder, 2nd offense, 2nd shoulder, etc. The true meaning of it was covered up to make it more accepted, but it is an idol god symbol of Satanism.
Lmao. I've got several of them in my home. So, does my family the Fleur de lis even In ancient cultures represented by purity. Try looking up ancient Greek histories of rebirth. I'm also a Christian who study history and its bull. The symbolic effect because it was used in unspeakable cases is doesn't provide justification..
Terrell you are absolutely 100% correct

In May 2020 a 125 year old church in my hometown burned down due solely to the inherent power of the fleur
It is also the symbol of scouts all around the world
Merci!!!+
Wdym nobody knows... the heraldic fleur-de-lis ⚜️ that you see al the time comes from French monarchy
Nobody knows because the symbol precedes France, though France started using it
⚜️
0:18 that is not true a French king saw this symbol in his dream and an angelic being was showing it to him in this dream if I remember correct, also the similarities between it and a dorje are interesting.
Well obviously not, it preceded the creation of France as it's very old.

the Fleur de Les is next to my grandparent’s front door. (I’m only 9 and they are alive and well!!)

👍
There is a relationship between the number 3 and the trinity. Father, son, Holy Spirit.
I heard it's the devil's flower
Here from Saints Row.
You should re-add the part where it was used as a brand to mark slaves.
Like I am not watching the video I’m just assuming as usual that that part was omitted.
Who cares what they marked them with?
Lily..
King solomon is like a lilly is written somewhere in the bible
Pour moi c’est le symbole de la francophonie
Tu a bien raison, qu'ils aillent se faire foutre tous les anglo-saxons de merde. La Fleur De Lys est bel et bien le symbole des Rois de France depuis le 12eme siècle minimum avec le Roi Louis VII.

Originally a bee symbol from the Merovingian dynasty and also known as the devils flower. Not a good symbol.
Dagon Canaanite god had it on his hat , as well as Assyrians and Egyptians used that symbol thousands of years earlier. serpent god symbol. check the jew Spanish Aztec invader Cortez head gear and why he was perceived as awaited god.
Lillith reminds me the first woman of Adan
I have one
this symbol is also in very Ancient Hindu Temples. How is that possible.!
@XY ZW if this is vajra which belongs to Lord Indra means it relates Hinduism, then why this same vajra also shown in Jesus photographs?
@@V.lekhhbisht This symbol is from ancient proto-European religion. There was a concept of Trinity which was expressed by a Trident. Main European God's were carrying trident.
Is that a flower?

No. Not unless I get a million dollars for doing so immediately. Forget it. And then, you do it first and prove it. Otherwise… F NO.
is represents that the french are the lost tribe of Ruben as that is what represents the tribe of ruben
the Lily is the God of the favoret flower.
Noice
It actually looks more like a dagger! 😂
Lilium bosniacum
Oh god. Hopefully we don’t get an SJW finding this out.
My family crest lmao
It's on my family crest as well
Looks like a spear or a leaf # idk
hi hello
Fluer de lis is my last name
Wow

Okay you wanted to know...
It signifies the 3 the one in the middle is the Chief Creator. The two others who are also creators are his right and his left hand. Together they are the 3 or TRI as in tribal or family. They are known as the "root of three" they are your creators but you are not very smart. How could you be smart? You weren't told the truth.
How funny ... here in Quebec nobody knows the origin of our national symbol LOL
Pernicious? I don't think you know what the word means, sir.
Pernicious - 1.) Highly injurious or destructive : deadly - 2.) [archaic] Wicked

Perhaps you meant ubiquitous, instead.
Ubiquitous - 1.) existing or being everywhere at the same time : constantly encountered

Basically the ancient version of, "That design looks cool. It's mine now."
No it means Enlightenment
It's a group of stars partly made up of Scorpio.
The trouble with saying it *is* anything is that it's been so many things.
The Fleur-de-lis is french.
As the video illustrates it predates the french. The name is French currently though.
Wrong, it was picked up by the French, but it dates back all the way to Egyptian times and is even depicted in ancient hyroglyphs
It represents the bird feet of queen Ishtar
Any symbol that was used to BRAND a person will never be worth anything good. It's like the rebel flag! How could anyone of good conscious celebrate symbol that was used to brand a slave?
No fahrting, please.

Also did you know that the moors were actually pagans and the word pagan these days is used in bad context. At least be accurate if you're posting something educational.
The Fleur de Lis is also known as the devils flower.
No it's no in fact its not its symbol of purity..
Ancient pagan symbol. It is what it is.
I notice even the sikh symbol looks similar to it.... considering the swastika was used by indo-europeans I’m not surpised if a fleur de lis was used as well
This is the same symbol the French used to brand slaves in Louisiana. Tell the whole story.
Why do I need to talk about every individual use? Also I thought I did mention that? Although it's been a while since I made this video so idk what's in it anymore.
Yawn.
