The Royal Arms of Castile was first adopted at the start of the age of heraldry (circa 1175), [1] that spread across Europe during the next century. [3] The Spanish heraldist Faustino Menéndez Pidal de Navascués wrote that there is no evidence that there was a consolidated Castilian emblem before the reign of King Alfonso VIII or that these arms had pre-heraldic history as the heraldry of León.
The coat of arms of the Spanish autonomous community of Castile and León depicts the traditional arms of Castile (the yellow castle) quartered with the arms of León (the purple lion). It is topped with a royal crown. The lion design is attributed to Alfonso VII, [1] who became king of Castile and León in 1126.
