The White Hart
The White Hart was the badge of King Richard II of England. It may also have been a pun on his name, as in "Rich-hart". It associated Richard's rule with piety and asserted his divine authority. The emblem features prominently in a notable piece of late 14th-century religious art known as Wilton Diptych (National Gallery, London), which is thought to be the earliest authentic contemporary portrait of an English king.
There are still many inns and pubs in England that sport a sign of The White Hart, the fifth most popular name for a pub.
