"Dieu et mon droit (French pronunciation: [djø e mɔ̃ dʁwa], Old French: Deu et mon droit), which means 'God and my right',^[1][2] is the motto of the monarch of the United Kingdom.^[2] It appears on a scroll beneath the shield of the version of the coat of arms of the United Kingdom.^[1] The motto is said to have first been used by Richard I (1157–1199) as a battle cry and presumed to be a reference to his French ancestry (indeed he spoke French and Occitan but knew only basic English) and the concept of the divine right of the monarch to govern.^[3] It was adopted as the royal motto of England by King Henry V (1386–1422)^[2][3][4] with the phrase "and my right" referring to his claim by descent to the French crown.^[4]"
