What makes the Fleur-de-lis symbol notable is its use across different contexts. This symbol has represented peace, war, religion, politics, royalty, and more.

For example, Joan of Arc carried a white banner that showed God blessing the French royal emblem, the fleur-de-lis when she led French troops to victory over the English.
