O'Brien coat of arms of the three lions are the modern arms granted to Murrough O'Brien in 1543 upon his surrender of the title "King of Thomond" to English King Henry VIII. In return for the surrender of the Irish title, King Henry VIII gave Murrough the English title of Earl of Thomond and granted unto him his personal coat of arms: "Gules in pale three lions passant guardent armed and langued azure." The king's arms were differenced to Murrough as: "Gules three lions passant guardant per pale or and argent." A high honor from the English view, but defeat for the Gaelic Irish.
