The House of Bourbon's coat of arms while ruling Spain was characterized by the incorporation of the family's Bourbon-Anjou fleur-de-lis emblem, a blue field with golden lilies, into a larger shield that also featured the coats of arms of the Spanish kingdoms of Castile, León, Aragon, and Navarre. This emblem, the blue shield with three golden fleur-de-lis, was placed as an inescutcheon (small shield) over the main coat of arms to show the dynasty's rule.
