Arms of the Principality/Kingdom of Bulgaria

Bulgaria was in the fourteenth century overrun by the Turks. After a massacre in which 10.000 christians were killed in 1876, Russia intervened and the European powers forced the Turkish government to grant Bulgaria autonomy in 1878. Alexander von Battenberg (a sideline of the grandducal house of Hessen, later called Mountbatten) was elected prince of Bulgaria April 29 1879. From then until the 1886 the arms of Bulgaria had his arms (the Hessian lion with a label above it in the colours - white charged with two black poles - of the house of Battenberg) as an escutcheon in the centre ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Bulagria%2CPrincipality_1879-86.jpg). The shield was further quartered by a silver cross. In the first and fourth quarter the red lion of Bulgaria, in the second and third a greek orthodox cross. The shield is held by two natural coloured lions holding banners with the national colours. (Siebmachers Wappenbuch, I. Band, 3. Abt. III. Reihe, Nurenberg, 1887/1888)

Prince Alexander was however unable to unite the warring factions in his principality. He lost Russian support and abdicated September 7 1886. After the abdication of prince Alexander and the election of Ferdinand von Sachsen-Coburg as prince July 7 1887 the arms were simplified to the golden lion only ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Bulgaria%2CPrincipality%2C1887.jpg). In 1891 a crown was designed for Bulgaria by Friedrich Heyer von Rosenfeld, a circlet with lilyshaped points behind wich eight loops arch over a low purple cap. From the crown fals a ribbon in the national colours. This crown was thereafter often used in the arms. October 5 1908 Bulgaria declared its full independence from Turkey and became a kingdom. The golden lion was from then on charged with the arms of Saxony and sometimes with the full quartered shield of King Ferdinand. The banners were not used anymore. Some coines with the old armes however were struck on later dates down into the twenties. Under King Boris (1918-1943) the Saxon escutcheon is seldom used ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Bulgaria%2CKingdom_1908.jpg). The lion as national symbol was retained even in the communist state arms. These days Bulgaria again uses the royal arms of 1918 again.
