Husband - Heraldic Symbol of KIng William I - the red lion rampant on a yellow background - which has remained a royal symbol to this day
- King William was born on 1143 and died on 2 DEC 1214 in Sterling, Stirlingshire, Scotland
The nickname 'The Lion' was accorded to him after his death and may have been due either to his valour and strength in battle (though he was not always successful) or, more likely, to the heraldic symbol which he adopted - the red lion rampant on a yellow background - which has remained a royal symbol to this day.
William is known to have been planning another invasion of England to retake Northumberland early in the 13th century after King John came to the throne of England and there were a number of skirmishes along the border. But he eventually negotiated a treaty instead - he is said to have had a 'divine warning' of the consequences of invasion.
