The Coat of arms of the King (and Kingdom) of Bohemia.
Kingdom of Bohemia (Czech: České království; German: Königreich Böhmen) was formally established in 1212 by the Golden Bull of Sicily issued by the Roman king and emperor Frederick II, although some former rulers of Bohemia enjoyed a non-hereditary royal title. The Kingdom was a part of the Holy Roman Empire, later a part of the Austrian Empire. It was dissolved in 1918 with the fall of Austria-Hungary. The current Czech Republic still uses its symbols (a two-tailed lion in its coat-of-arms, royal castle, the royal crown and other crown jewels).
