====Origin/meaning==== | ====Origin/meaning==== | ||
The arms above are the arms of Denmark proper. The lions as the arms for Denmark are known since the early 12<sup>th</sup> century. These are the arms that are commonly used by all State institutions. The parliament also uses the arms, but without the crown. The Danish arms are first seen on the seal of King Knud, on his seal from 1190, and were his personal arms. The arms are probably a bit older, as they were also used by his brother and successor Valdemar. It is thus likely that the arms were also used by their father King Valdemar the great (1157-1182). | The arms above are the arms of Denmark proper.
