The Irish harp
The harp has been recognised as a symbol of Ireland since the 13th century[1] and was used on Irish coinage by kings John and Edward I. It is sometimes referred to for convenience as the harp of Brian Boru, High King of Ireland. Visual heraldry within Ireland started in 1392 on the creation of the first Ireland King of Arms. The harp was adopted as the symbol of the new Kingdom of Ireland established by Henry I of Ireland in 1541-42. It has appeared in the third quarter of the Royal Coat of Arms of the United Kingdom since the union of the crowns of Ireland and England to that of Scotland by James VI of Scotland in March 1603. For other uses, see Harp (disambiguation). ...

Royal Coat of Arms of Ireland From the rise of the Stuart dynasty to the thrones of England and Ireland in 1603, the royal coat of arms began to feature the Irish harp in representation of the Kingdom of Ireland. Over the years this harp was altered and rearranged representing the various changes in the political status quo until the modern British coat of arms became official on the accession of Queen Victoria to the throne of the United Kingdom, 1837.
