The most knowen animal in the czech history
. According to legend, king Bruncvik of Bohemia, who was moaning for adventures, left home for seven years. In the whole Europe he experienced many stories, but the most important thing was, that one day he had seen injured lion. He cured him and thankful lion came with Bruncvik. Lion helped Bruncvik in many battles and returned with him to Prague. Bruncvik liked lion very much and put him to heraldry. From that times there is white lion on the red (symbolizing blood) field.
