Coat of arms of Finland – This is Finland

Below is a brief description of the coat of arms of Finland, its symbolism and history. The report is based on the official description of the coat of arms and the most commonly accepted explanation.

National coat of arms

When King Gustav I of Sweden (died 1560) gave his son Johan the title of Duke of Finland in 1556, the territory received its own coat of arms, probably approved by the king in 1557, although, as far as we know, Duke Johan never used his. In addition to national emblems, this coat of arms (ill. 1) included two more symbols related to northern and southern Finland, which meant the regions of Satakunta and Varsinais-Suomi, the so-called. native Finland. These two symbols subsequently remained in the coats of arms of these two provinces.

After ascending the throne of Sweden, King Johan III also received the title of “Grand Duke of Finland and Karelia” in 1581. Probably at this time or a little later, Finland received a second coat of arms, which was similar to the current one. According to the generally accepted opinion, this coat of arms was created in the image of a shield on the tombstone of King Gustav I in Uppsala Cathedral (completed in 1591). The monument was designed in the reign of Johan’s elder brother, Eric XIV, who was king from 1560 to 1568, but was completed only 30 years later in the reign of Johan. The shield was probably created by the Dutch artist Willem Boyen, who served under both Gustav I and Eric XIV.

We cannot know if the second coat of arms of Finland was simply a figment of Willem Boyen’s own imagination or based on the wishes of Eric XIV or some other unknown historical tradition. It is known, however, that Eric XIV himself was interested in heraldry. This topic has been much debated in both academic and amateur circles.

In any case, it is generally accepted that the symbol of the lion comes from the coat of arms of the Folkung family included in the royal coat of arms of Sweden. The two swords were borrowed from the coat of arms of Karelia, the first known public display of which took place on a banner at the funeral of King Gustav I in 1560.

Placement of a curved Russian saber under the paws of a lion undoubtedly reflects the political situation of that time. Sweden and Russia were almost constantly at war, and the Swedes used this propaganda tool, hinting that they were winning. The nine rosettes have a decorative function, although they have been falsely interpreted as a reference to the nine historical provinces of Finland. It is worth noting that the number of outlets has changed over the centuries.

When Finland gained independence at 19In 1717, the “Lion Crest” became the coat of arms of the new nation. Prior to that, it served as a common symbol of the entire Swedish territory to the east of the Gulf of Bothnia, and from 1809 to 1917 it was the emblem of the Grand Duchy of Finland, which was then under Russian rule.

The coat of arms of Finland is depicted on the national flag, official seals, coins, banknotes, postage stamps. On the president’s car, he replaces the license plate.

Legislation on the coat of arms of Finland appeared only in 1978 year. It contains the official description of the coat of arms and prohibits the sale of the national coat of arms under threat of a fine.

The national emblem depicts a crowned lion standing in a scarlet field. The lion in the right front paw, dressed in a plate glove, holds a raised sword and tramples on a curved saber. The lion, the crown, the hilts of the sword and saber, as well as the joints of the glove are gold. Blades and glove are silver. The field is decorated with nine silver rosettes.

Part three: n both sides of Victoria, or AND the maned princes

After the Stuarts, who did not last long on the British throne in the historical perspective, the highest position in the kingdom went to the Hanoverians.

The fact that the first of them was a German through and through, never learned to speak English, and even moved his mistress to a new country of residence, did not matter at all, because he had the main advantage: he was a Protestant .

to London and sat firmly on the throne

The first three kings of this dynasty – it’s funny that they were all called Georges – behaved quite modestly in alcove affairs.

George I divorced his wife, accusing her of adultery, and imprisoned his ex-wife in one of the German castles. She never became Queen of Britain, although her son became George II.

He, in turn, became famous for being the last British king to personally lead his troops into battle. It was in the Battle of Göttingen in 1743, during the War of the Austrian Succession.

Many conflicts fell to the lot of George III, including the seven-year war with France and the war for the independence of the North American colonies. In addition, in the last years of his life he suffered from a mental illness, which is now believed to be one of the symptoms of porphyria.

Many of his brothers managed to marry completely unsuitable women, therefore, in his reign, the Royal Marriage Law was passed, according to which all descendants of George II could not marry without the consent of the monarch. By the way, that is why Prince William asked the Queen’s permission to marry Kate Middleton.

But after that it became fun again in the royal bedchamber.

George IV, or Not Quite a King with a Not Quite Normal King

It can be said that the future King George was not very lucky. When his father was officially declared insane, he seemed to be admitted to power, but he did not become king and for nine years was content with the role of prince regent.

At that time, the royal power in Britain was already quite limited, and poor George had absolutely nothing to do but invent new styles of clothes, play cards and build extravagant buildings, such as the Royal Pavilion in Brighton.

Women, as you understand, also made up a large part of the entertainment available to the prince.

The End of the Story Podcast

In 1784, the 22-year-old prince was introduced to a lady named Mary Fitzherbert. She was, firstly, six years older, and secondly, already twice a widow.

Georg completely lost his head and pursued her until she agreed to marry him. It is not entirely clear why he needed this, given that without the consent of the king, this marriage was not considered valid. And if consent had been obtained, then young George would automatically fall out of the number of heirs, since Mary was a Catholic, and after James II in Britain, a law was passed that neither the heir to the throne nor his wife could be Catholics.

Both parties knew very well that this “marriage” was not a marriage, but they lived in love and harmony until the prince got into the most unpleasant situation: he accumulated debts of 600 thousand pounds, which by modern standards exceeds 35 million . The king and parliament agreed to pay his debts, but on one condition: he must stop pretending to be married to his Mary and marry a woman who can give the country an heir.

There really was nothing to do, and the prince dutifully wrote a letter to Mary saying that everything was over between them, and married Caroline of Brunswick.

There was no love between them, but they still managed to give birth to one child, after which they quickly parted.

However, the Prince Regent, and then the King, could not forget Mary, and asked to be buried with her portrait. Which was done.

Jersey Lady, or the Seductive Grandmother

In the so-called “period of regency” in high British society, two women who bore this title were noted. More famous and influential was Sarah Child, nicknamed “silence” for her love of chatter, but her mother-in-law, Francis, received the prince’s attention and bed.

She met Georg in 1793, when she was already 40 years old, and she was already the mother of ten children and even a grandmother. The prince was far from the first adultery of a prolific aristocrat.

Less than a year after they met, she managed (temporarily) to take the place of Mary Fitzherbert. She also used all her influence over the heir to the throne to convince him to marry Caroline of Brunswick.

King George III treated Milady Jersey without much sympathy, she was friends with Queen Charlotte, and she was not very interested in the opinion of the king. She ran the prince’s personal and social affairs with an iron fist for almost 10 years, remaining his “official” mistress, until she was removed from her position by Lady Hartford.

By the way, all this time she officially remained married, and the customs at that time were such that no one was particularly surprised.

Adulteress, courtesan, heroine

Grace Elliot is the only mistress of George IV, whose life was much more interesting and full than his own.

In fact, the affair with the prince took a very short time in her life, but Grace left a daughter from him. It is curious that although the prince took responsibility for the child, in fact he did not consider himself a father.

Grace was the daughter of a poor and humble Edinburgh lawyer. She had no money, no position in society either, but she was beautiful. So beautiful that a famous and wealthy doctor was carried away by her, whom she married.

She then met the Irish aristocrat Viscount Valentia, who became her lover. My doctor husband didn’t like it. He obtained evidence of adultery and divorced his wife.

In the absence of money and reputation, poor Grace had no choice but to move from wife to courtesan.

She moved to London, where she had a quiet and short affair with the prince.

But then the fun begins. Frankly, this has nothing to do with the British monarchy, but deserves a little digression.

Prince George of Wales introduced her to the Duke of Orleans. The duke moved the beautiful Englishwoman to Paris, where she became his official mistress.

It was then that she was caught by the French Revolution and the Jacobin terror that followed it.

On the one hand, Grace was the recognized mistress of the Duke of Orleans, who accepted the revolution and even began to be called Philippe Equal (Philippe Égalité). On the other hand, it was well known in society that her sympathies were on the side of the royalists.

She became the intermediary in secret correspondence between the British government and the French government in exile.

Several times she risked her life hiding aristocrats fleeing the revolutionary terror in her house. For example, Grace laid the wounded Marquis de Chamsenay between two mattresses on her magnificent bed, and she herself lay down on top, pretending to be seriously ill. So the revolutionary guards, who searched her house, were left with nothing.

She also managed to arrange a safe trip to Britain for several aristocratic families.

In the end she was arrested, but the terror came to naught, it was in 1793, and Grace managed to avoid the guillotine.

It is said that the very young Napoleon Bonaparte fell in love with her and even seemed to want to marry her, but she refused.

She spent the rest of her life in prosperity and peace and was buried in the Père Lachaise cemetery.

The Prince and then King George IV had three more mistresses: the actress and poetess Mary Robinson, the Marchioness of Hartford and the Marchioness of Cunningham.

Perhaps the most interesting of them was still Mary. She was not too eager to use her alcove royal conquest and introduced a new style of dress, which was called “Perdita” after the heroine of Shakespeare’s “The Tempest”, whose role was one of the most successful in her career.

Beyond Victoria, or the Dissolute Son of Godly Parents

Prince of Wales, future King Edward VII

The eldest son of Queen Victoria and the Prince, although he was the heir to the throne, the Prince of Wales, his parents did not like him too much.

Let’s start with the fact that Victoria was so in love with her husband that she had no energy, no time, no mood for children. She generally believed that her task, as mothers and queens, was not to give her offspring any descent.

The eldest daughter, also Victoria, who later became the mother of the infamous Chancellor Wilhelm, one of the main instigators of the First World War, was a smart, capable and pretty girl. She was loved and spoiled by her father, and she did not irritate her mother.

The queen was always dissatisfied with Edward: “I can’t call him attractive, with that painfully small and narrow head, those large features and the complete absence of a chin!” the queen wrote to her friend.

But this was not the main thing. Victoria and Albert spent a lot of effort to ensure that the whole country considered them a model of respectability and marital fidelity.

The First Fall

And the son turned out to be molded from a completely different test.

At the age of 19, he was assigned to a regiment in Ireland, and fellow soldiers put a lady of easy virtue named Nellie Clifden into bed with him. The prince lost his innocence, and Prince Albert lost his peace. He wrote a long letter to his son in which he lamented his “fall”, and even went to him for a personal conversation.

Upon returning from the memorable rendezvous, Albert fell ill and never recovered. The inconsolable queen blamed her eldest son for the death of her beloved husband and hardly endured his company until the end of her life.

And since Victoria turned out to be a long-liver, Edward had to wait a very long time for his crown. And this expectation was brightened up by women.

I must say that Edward was not limited to either aristocrats or actresses. You can even compare him with Charles II, who, as we have already said, believed that under clothes all women are the same.

For example, the prince is said to have been a regular visitor to the exclusive Parisian brothel La Chabanais, where he had his own room, which included a large bath, where Edouard (again rumored) liked to bathe in champagne with one or more ladies. And there was also a special chair, adapted for the comforts of the heir to the British crown, who began to gain weight with age, but did not lose his sexual appetite.

A copy of this chair is now in the Museum of Sexual Devices in Prague. By the way, until now, experts do not agree on exactly how he used it.

Although it is known that Edward spent a lot of time alone with Sarah Bernhardt, no one can vouch for the exact nature of their relationship.

Edward is credited with two lovers from the stage. No one has any doubts about the Englishwoman Lilly Langtry. But the French priestess of Melpomene remains in question.

Rumor attributed to Edward a relationship with the famous Sarah Bernhardt. However, there is no evidence of this connection, with the exception of evidence that both the future monarch and the actress spent a lot of time in each other’s company during her tour of London in 1879.year.

Photo caption,

The king’s relationship with actress Lilly Langtry was, of course, rather scandalous, but the queen treated her with true royal calm

Actually (and this is true, no kidding), it could very well be that Edward and Sarah were just having dinner together and chatting. Edward, by the way, turned out to be an excellent and intelligent interlocutor, despite the fact that his parents denied him the mind.

Lilly’s relationship with Edward was short-lived, only three years. He even introduced her to his mother and wife. Princess Alexandra had a rare calmness and never made scandals over her husband’s many “adventures”.

Aristocrats and socialites

After the death of Prince Albert, two aristocratic circles were formed in the British high society: official, around the Queen, who was boring, stiff and in eternal mourning, and the court of the Prince Regent, where it seemed everything was allowed.

The ladies of this circle did not see anything wrong with entering into a short or, conversely, long relationship with the Prince of Wales.

Daisy Grenville was planned to be married to Prince Edward’s younger brother, and as a result she became his mistress.

His mother was, for example, the young lady Randolph Spencer-Churchill, the future mother of Winston Churchill, the same one who was British Prime Minister during the Second World War.

And Daisy Grenville, Countess of Warwick. It’s funny that Queen Victoria thought she would make an excellent wife for one of her younger sons, Leopold. However, this marriage never took place, and Daisy married the Earl of Warwick, which did not prevent her from later having an affair with the Prince of Wales.

But Alice Keppel deserves a more detailed discussion.

Alice Keppel was one of the most beautiful and intelligent mistresses of Edward VII

Alice was one of the most famous and respected mistresses of the society salons of that time. As her daughter wrote about her: “She had the gift to make others happy, she was like a Christmas tree, under which there is a gift for everyone. ”

Keppel became the king’s mistress in 1889 when she was 29 and the prince 56. This relationship continued after he became king until his death. Alice, according to contemporaries, was the only woman who could easily turn an irritated monarch into a cheerful and happy person.

Queen Alexandra also treated her with great sympathy, believing that she had a good influence on her husband.

By the way, Alice’s own husband also prudently turned a blind eye to this relationship, obediently disappearing from the house before the visit of his wife’s august lover.

Influence gradually

Photo caption,

Alice’s main merit was that she often acted as an intermediary between the king and his ministers.

The Governor General of India, Lord Mountbatten, once wrote: “I remember several times when the King did not agree with the opinion of the Foreign Office. And through her I was able to convince the King that our point of view should be accepted.”

We still don’t know, and may never know, the full extent of Alice’s influence over the king. At the same time, she tried to act as discreetly as possible and was very unhappy if her name was mentioned in political debates.

The only thing she failed to convince the king of was that he should quit smoking and go on a diet.
