    In addition to England, what states or territories feature the 'three lions' in their coat of arms?

    Question #98839. Asked by author. (Aug 24 08 2:06 PM)

    		Denmark's Coat of Arms features three lions passant in pale Azure crowned and armed or langued Gules, nine hearts Gules

    It can be viewed here:

    Formerly, the three lions were also to be found in the coat of arms of the Kingom of Württemberg of 1817-1918. The coat of arms of the new federal state reminds us of the history of the southwest German area. Black and gold are the state colors.

    		Maybe I should have mentioned that there are two main types of lions in heraldry: Lions rampant (standing on two legs) and lions passant (creeping, lying).

    I wanted to ask for the lions passant, as in the English "Three lions".

    Therefore Bulgaria should not really be included, while another European country has a coat of arms with lions passant.

    		OK, heraldry's not my strong suit. How about Estonia?
