Was Priscilla Presley faithful to Elvis Presley?
No he was not. Elvis loved Priscilla but prior to his marriage to her he lived a wild lifestyle and loved the company of women. It has been said he was reluctant to get married, because he had no interest in changing that lifestyle. He married Priscilla, and continued almost living the life of a bachelor. He almost always had affairs with leading ladies on the movie sets, but that was just a drop in the bucket. He had a serious affair/relationship with Ann Margaret while in a serious relationship with Priscilla. In fact it is said that he struggled to chose between them, as both wanted to get married. Elvis was in love with Ann but his deep attachment was to Priscilla. According to all who knew Elvis he loved Priscilla very much. It is a myth that he was somehow forced to marry her. The fact is he was given an ultimatum from Colonel Parker, to "marry her or not" because the Col. felt he had dragged his feet in their relationship long enough and that it didn't look good to his image. It's likely that Priscilla's parents were reaching the point of wanting to issue an ultimatum as well. But Elvis was not pressured to marry her, he was simply pressured to make a decision. Like any man who thoroughly enjoys being single, Elvis would have much preferred to remain single. But he was not willing to choose a life without Priscilla. Here is a very intimate and special moment captured in time, in Priscilla's words: "I was surprised he was holding up so well, considering how nervous he'd been about this ultimate commitment... He carried me across the threshold of our house singing "The Hawaiian Wedding Song". He stopped and gave me a long, loving kiss, then proceeded to carry me up the stairs to our bedroom, the whole crowd teasing. It was still daylight and the sun shone brightly through our bedroom windows as Elvis carefully placed me in the middle of our king-size bed. I don't think he really knew what to do with me. After all, Elvis had protected me and saved me for so long. He was now understandably hesitant about fulfilling all his promises about how very good this moment was going to be. Looking back, I have to laugh when I remember how nervous we both were. One would have thought it was the first time we had ever been together under intimate circumstances. Gently his lips touched mine. Then he looked deeply into my eyes. "My wife," he said softly, as he drew me close. "I love you Cilla". The intensity of emotion I was experiencing was electrifying. The desire and lust that had built up in me throughout the years exploded in a frenzy of passion. Could he have known how it would be for me? I'll never know. But I do know that as I went from child to woman, the long, romantic, yet frustrating adventure that Elvis and I had shared all seemed worthwhile." During their marriage Priscilla knew that Elvis was not faithful to her, and Elvis was often gone for long periods of time. After she had Lisa Marie she was even more sensitive to his long absences and his affairs, which hurt her very deeply. She requested to join him on movie sets and she spent time in L.A. during the shooting of some of his films, however Elvis didn't prefer it. They had other problems in their marriage, but ultimately it was the affairs and his absence that caused them to grow apart and eventually divorce. According to her, and others, they remained close after divorce, they would still hold hands and sit close together when together. Priscilla has said it was like they never really divorced. While Elvis was crushed that Priscilla left him, and the loss of his family devastated him, he made no promises to change in any way, and Priscilla had no reason to believe he ever would. Priscilla hints in her book that if he had made such promises to change his ways, she would have stayed. In a phone conversation toward the end of 1976 or early 1977, according to Priscilla, they discussed the possibility of getting back together: Priscilla "Do you think you can really live with one woman?" Elvis "Yes, now more than ever. I know I've done some stupid things, but the stupidest was not realizing what I had until I lost it." Priscilla "Maybe it was just too early in life for us. Maybe one day there will be a time for us."
What does the lion on Finlands coat stand for?
The lion in Nordic heraldryThe heraldic lion is quite common in Western Europe, and several European countries incorporate it into their national coats of arms. In Nordic heraldry, the lion is first-found in the coat of arms of Denmark in the later part of the 12th century.Starting in the 12th century, the territory of today's Finland was gradually incorporated into the Swedish kingdom, and this coincided with the period when coats of arms first came into use in northern Europe. The first known use of the lion in Sweden was on the royal seals of Erik Knutsson (died 1216) and Erik Eriksson (1216-50), who used two and three lions on their seal, respectively. The first king of the Folkunga family, Valdemar Birgersson (1239-1302), also used 3 lions on his seal (Figure 2).Finland as a duchyBengt Birgersson, the first Duke of Finland (1254-91, Duke from 1284 until 1291), and Valdemar Magnusson, the second Duke (died 1318, Duke of Finland from 1302 until 1317), both used the later Folkunga coat of arms, which was a crowned lion rampant with three bends sinister, the main difference being that Valdemar's arms had the field strewn with hearts (Figure 3). This version of the arms was quite similar to the modern coat of arms of Finland, but the lion did not yet brandish any weapon. Creation of the armsWhen John III assumed the title of "Grand Duke of Finland and Karelia", soon shortened to Grand Duke of Finland in 1577 (or soon thereafter), the lion became closely associated with Finland through the grand-ducal coats of arms (Figure 5). The grand-ducal coat of arms is thought to have resulted out of a combination of the Göta lion (originating from the Folkunga lion) and the arms of Karelia (Figure 6). The result was that the lion brandishes one weapon and treads on another. The best-known version of the grand-ducal coat of arms is found on the tomb of Gustavus I (1523-60) in the Uppsala cathedral (Figure 5). It has been suggested that either Duke John himself, or his brother Eric XIV, was leading the design work on the heraldic signs on the tomb. Neither statement can be confirmed, but it is known that Eric XIV showed an interest in heraldry. The monument was commissioned from Guillaume Boyen (Willem Boy), a Flemish architect and sculptor who had worked in Sweden. He started on the task in Antwerp in 1562, completing it 10 years later; however, the tomb was not in place in Uppsala until the early 1580s, and the finishing work lasted until 1591. In addition to the royal arms of Sweden and those of Finland, the arms of the 11 provinces are depicted. From Finland they include North and South Finland, as well as Tavastia and Karelia. The work of Willem Boy is of exceptional quality, which is perhaps explained by the fact that lions were a dominant feature in the heraldry of Flanders, and he would therefore have had a great deal of exposure to it before receiving the commission for the tomb of Gustavus I.The earliest known blazon from this period states that the arms of Finland represents A crowned lion of gold holding a sword in the right forepaw and trampling with both hindpaws on a Russian sabre (ryssesabel), surrounded by nine silver roses in a red field, over the shield a golden crown with a red cap.As both King Gustavus I and his son, John III, were involved in lengthy wars with Russia, it should come as no surprise this was a central element in the arms of both the Grand Duchy of Finland, and in that in the coat of arms of the Finnish province of Karelia, which symbolizes the fight between East and West.The purpose of the nine roses remains unknown, but are now mostly considered to be decorative only. They have sometimes been claimed to represent the nine historical provinces of Finland, but this hypothesis has not found support among prominent scholars.[ The number of towns in the nominal "Grand Duchy of Finland and Karelia" in 1580 were also nine, but no known historical research provides support for a link between the number of roses and the number of towns in Finland in 1580.Evolution of the armsSwedish eraDuring the following centuries, the arms of Finland were to appear in different versions of varying artistic quality, and it was only in the late 19th century when the Uppsala lion was again taken into use as the prototype for the coat of arms of Finland. The lion experienced several changes during the 17th century. In the funeral banner of Charles X Gustavus (in 1660) it can be seen treading on the sabre with all three free paws; in drawings by Elias Brenner (in the Suecia antique et hodierna by Erik Dahlberg, printed in 1716), it is pictured with a double tail (queue fourchée) and with an almost walking posture.Russian eraAfter Finland had been ceded to Russia (as a consequence of the Swedish-Russian war of 1808-1809), Erik Brenner's version of the lion was chosen by the authorities as the model for the new coat of arms of the Grand Duchy of Finland in the Russian Empire. The blazon in the decree of 26 October 1809 states: The shield has a red field, strewn with roses of silver, on which a golden lion with a crown of gold, standing on a silver saber, which it grasps with the left forepaw while holding in the right forepaw an upright sword. Obviously, any interpretation of the lion as trampling on a Russian sabre had been lost at this point in time. During the reform of the Russian official heraldry in 1857, the lion was again changed on the initiative of baron Bernhard Karl von Köhne. The blazon states: On a red field strewn with silver roses a crowned lion of gold, holding in the right forepaw an upright sword and in the left one a curved sword on which it rests with the right hindpaw. The main changes were that the lion had started to resemble a dog rather than a lion, and the crown on top of the shield had been changed to an arched crown without a cap, and with a small Russian eagle on the rim. The sword in the right forepaw had shrunk in size, to the point of resembling a dagger rather than a sword (Figure 8).During the years when the Russian emperors attempted russification of Finland (1899-1905 and 1908-17), the use of the arms of Finland increased significantly, and eventually became popular in the broader population.The director of the Finnish National Archives, Karl August Bomansson (1827-1906) made the first significant study on the arms of Finland in modern times. He restored the appearance of the arms in 1886, so that it closely resembled the Uppsala lion. However, there was a slight deviation on how the lion tramples on the saber, and the arched crown with the imperial eagle in the von Köhne version was replaced with a crown similar to that of a German princely crown. This version of the arms was subsequently used in the early years of Finnish independence.Early independenceDuring the 1920s and 1930s, the national arms became the subject of some controversy, and the debate centered on whether the lion should be replaced with a bear, which had an important place in the national folklore. Already in 1557, the bear had emerged as the emblem of Finnia Septentrionalis ("North Finland", at the time roughly the same as Satakunta and northern Finland Proper) and continues to be used as the coat of arms of Satakunta. However, outside Finland, the bear was usually regarded as a symbol of Russia. The debate was however not settled, and throughout most of the 20th century, versions of the arms were used that closely adhered to the Uppsala lion. In 1936, a state committee suggested a compromise that Finland should have a "greater" and a "smaller" coat of arms. The greater coat of arms was proposed to have two bears as supporters of the arms, with a base of spruce twigs and with the motto vapaa, vankka, vakaa ("free, firm, steadfast"). This would have given the bear a place in the national heraldry, but the design was never confirmed, nor was this version of the arms taken into use.TodayThe blazon of the national coat of arms was finally settled in 1978, when the law of 26 May 1978 (381/78) described the coat of arms as follows: On a red field, a crowned lion, the right forepaw replaced with an armoured hand brandishing a sword, trampling on a saber with the hindpaws, the lion, crowned and armed, the weapons hilted and the armour garnished gold, the blades and the armour silver, the field strewn with nine roses of silver. (This is, however, a direct translation from Finnish; the heraldic blazon would be Gules, a lion crowned Or rampant striking with a sword Argent on his armoured dexter arm, trampling on a sabre Argent; surmounted with nine roses Argent) The coat of arms appears on the Finnish state flag. The Finnish lion is also used in a wide variety of emblems of different state authorities, often modified to depict the duties of the unit or the authority. On the other hand, the Finnish municipalities and regions usually use heraldic motifs drawn from elsewhere, leaving the lion for state use (exceptions exist, such as the Coat of arms of Jakobstad). Finnish lion also appears as armed force's generals' rank insigna and in navy as part of officer's rank insigna.
