As a crown isn't a "post" any more than it is an office, I would suggest changing that part to "the throne of Ireland was held by the reigning..." PML
Done, PML. BTW what do you think of the pic? My first pic on wiki, taken last night on my new digital camera. ÉÍREman 04:43 Apr 29, 2003 (UTC)
'Tis enough, 'twill serve. I imagine that it is a faithful rendering, muck and all, which makes it hard to make out detail from the wording and heraldic symbols. But the dexter supporting beast is quite obviously post 1707. (I was interested when I was first in the Master's Lodge in Trinity, Cambridge to note that the dexter supporting beast at the mantlepiece there was a griffin.) PML.
British monarchs dropped their "theoretical claim" to the French throne soon after the French Revolution and this was reflected heraldically when the coat of arms was modified after the union with Ireland was effected in 1801. That's why I snipped out the reference to France in the caption (you'll note the absence of Fleur-de-lis in the picture.)

[edit] A lot missing
This is fine, but it should really point out that there were several major individual Irish kingdoms that lasted into the early years of the 1600's. Fergananim 17:45, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Coat of arms
Surely the same coat of arms as appears on the Republic of Ireland page can be used? Andrew Yong 20:39, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
