This usage was continued bysucceeding English kings until about 1403, when Henry IV. reducedthe number of fleurs-de-lis in the French quarterings to three, follow-ing the change that had been made some years before in France byCharles V. The reduced number is found first in the great seal ofHenry V. (Willement, p. 32). Thereafter the bearings of England re-mained the same until the union of the crowns in 1603, when the armsof Scotland and those of Ireland were added. The fleurs-de-lis were notfinally discarded until the \\\\\or\ o{ Great Britain with Ireland in 1801. V [5]. XmP e)flnflzuni [6]
