The Kings College Lion and the Chapel

Illustrated by Eva Fang

King's College was originally founded by King Henry VI, in 1441, and was intended as a sister institution to Eton College, which he also founded. Originally it was planned that the College would only accept students from Eton. But the King's plans were disrupted by the Wars of the Roses: the long running dynastic dispute between the houses of York and Lancaster. After Henry VII's victory at the Battle of Bosworth Field, the new king began to take interest in the College, probably as a deliberate political move to legitimise his position, he helped fund the completed construction of the Chapel, but it wasn't until his son, Henry VIII that the interior was also completed.

The college arms feature key symbols of English Royalty, the Fleur-de-lis, representing historic claims to the French Throne, and the Golden Lion, representative of English Royalty.
