After the Norman Conquest in 1066, the arms of the House of Normandy were used in England, two golden lions on a red field.
When King Richard I (Lionheart) came to the throne he first adopted his personal arms of two lions rampant on a red field, but by the end of his life he had adopted a shield with three lions passant, on a red field. The origin of the third lion is unclear.
In 1340, King Edward III laid claim to the throne of France and quartered the English arms with those of France (blue with a tight pattern of golden fleurs-de-lis).
In 1406, the French quarterings were updated to the modern French arms, three fleurs-de-lis on a blue field. These French quarterings have now disappeared.
The modern arms of the United Kingdom are quartered with the English three lions in two quarters. The other two quarters represent Scotland and Ireland. (The whole of Ireland used to be part of the UK, not just Northern Ireland as now. Wales has never been represented as it has, for hundreds of years, been considered as part of England.)

The crest of England, known as the Royal Arms, has evolved over centuries. Originally, it consisted of a gold shield with three lions passant guardant. This design was adopted by Richard the Lionheart in the 12th century. The crest went through various modifications over time, including the addition of a French quarter for the Plantagenet dynasty and the substitution of the Scottish lion for the lions of England after the Union of the Crowns in 1603. The current version features a shield divided into quarters with symbolic elements representing England, Scotland, and Ireland.
The newer crest of the lion and unicorn was adopted in 1837 by and is now endorsed popularly by our current queen, Elizabeth II
