Scottish command - Bannockburn

The "big" man himself, Robert de Bruce along with  Alexander Scrymgeour plus trumpeter.

Alexander Scrymgeour, the Royal banner bearer to Robert de Bruce
Un-named trumpeter. He´s been given the Annandale coat - of - arms  on his nag. Or a saltire and chief Gules .
 
The man himself.  I don´t want to ever again paint his  coat-of-arms, the royal Standard, Or a lion rampant within a double tressure flory counter-flory .....or  an easier description - Gules (Red) lion rampant with Azure (blue) claws and tongue, within a red double border having a motif of alternating heraldic lilies, on a Or (yellow) field.

  4. Same mind, as Phil
    Requires a "good eye", and an accurate arm.
    Otherwise, bring the lion symbol.
    It is present in many countries and very many contexts.
    I Wonder, what is it origin.
