Fleur-de-lis From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. The fleur-de-lis (also spelled fleur-de-lys; plural fleurs-de-lis or -lys) is used in heraldry, where it is particularly associated with France. The name, anglicized, means "lily flower", and the symbol is in fact a stylized Iris pseudacorus L.. The Fleur de lis flag was adopted by King Philip I of France in the 11th century. His grandson Louis VII was the first to adopt the Azure sem??-de-lis Or (a blue shield with a tight pattern of small golden fleur-de-lis) as his badge, and this came to be so closely associated with his country that it is now known as "France Ancient". Three gold flowers on a blue background ("France Modern") dates to 1376 and Charles V of France.
