In 1996, two more ravens fell out of favour and were dismissed from the Tower for " conduct unbecoming Tower residents." [66] Once coats of arms were the established fashion of the ruling class, society expected a king to be armigerous (Loomis 1922, 26). In such an era, it was "natural enough to consider that suitable armorial devices and compositions should be assigned to men of mark in earlier ages" (Boutell, 18). Each author could attribute different arms for the same person, although regional styles developed, and the arms for major figures soon became fixed (Turner, 415).

She can, on the other hand, observe that she is feeling other things, or that she wants to feel other things. The two-handed Sword of State, made in 1678, symbolises the monarch's authority and is also carried before the monarch at State Openings of Parliament. [136] Its wooden sheath, made in 1689, is bound in crimson velvet decorated with silver-gilt emblems of England, Scotland and Ireland, fleurs-de-lis, and portcullises. [137] The lion of England and unicorn of Scotland form the cross-piece to the sword's handle. The sword weighs 3.6kg (8lb) and is 1.2m (4ft) long.
