The coat of arms of Dalmatia is the heraldic symbol used for the historical region of Dalmatia on the eastern coast of Adriatic Sea. It is also featured on the ''crest'' of the coat of arms of Croatia. ==History== The arms first appeared in 14th century Gelre Armorial (pre-1396) representing Kingdom of Croatia (''Regnum Croatiae et Dalmatiae'') as part of the coat of arms of King Louis I (1342-1382). Until 1526 these arms were used to represent Croatia in general〔Ivan Bojničić-Kninski - (Grbovnica kraljevine "Slavonije", (1895) ) - PDF file (in Croatian), accessed 28 February 2014〕 as can be seen from coat of arms of several kings: Louis I, Mary, Matthias Corvinus and Louis II. It is also found on the great seals of Sigismund of Luxembourg,〔(Szilágyi Sándor: A Magyar Nemzet Története ) (in Hungarian)〕 Albert II,〔Austria Forum Web Books Viewer (Die osterreichisch-ungarische Monarchie in Wort und Bild, Ubersichtsband, 2. Abtheilung: Geschichtlicher Theil (page 47) ), (in German), accessed 1 August 2013〕 John Zápolya,〔(Fraknói Vilmos: WERBŐCZI ISTVÁN, 1458-1541 )〕 Ferdinand I,〔(Dr. Veress Endre: IZABELLA KIRÁLYNÉ, 1519-1559 )〕 and from then on, on various seals and arms of the Habsburgs. Historically there are two main variants of these arms: *The most widely used version is azure, with three crowned golden leopards' heads affrontés caboshed Or, langued in gules (three golden lion heads, facing front, with golden crowns and red tongues, on a blue shield), often crowned. This variant dates from at least the very late 14th century, found on the ''Great Seal'' of King Sigismund of Luxembourg (1395-1437). The Republic of Venice in its Great Arms (18th century) used a variant with the same charge, but on a gules (red) shield, with the tongues often gold rather than gules. Between 1815 and 1918, the crowned variant of this coat of arms, with the azure shield, was used by the Habsburg Kingdom of Dalmatia. *Another, earlier version, was: gules, with three lion heads argent, facing dexter, langued and crowned Or〔Konrad von Grünenberg - (Wappenbuch (1602-1604) ) (in German), accessed 24 July 2013〕〔Bayerische Staatsbibliothek München (Wernigeroder (Schaffhausensches) Wappenbuch ), accessed 24 July 2013〕〔Gelre Armorial - (Gelre Folio 52v ), accessed 24 July 2013〕〔Ulrich von Richental - (Chronik des Konzils zu Konstanz ) (Chronicle of the Council of Constance, page 343), (in German), accessed 14 February 2014〕 (meaning three white or silver lion heads, with golden crowns and tongues, turned to left, on a red shield). This variant dates from the mid-14th century as part of the arms of Louis I of Hungary (1342-1382). A variation of these arms (gules, with three lion heads Argent, facing dexter) appeared in the book called ''Beschreibung der Reise von Konstanz nach Jerusalem'' (1486).〔Konrad von Grünenberg - (Beschreibung der Reise von Konstanz nach Jerusalem, page 32 [13v] ) (in German), accessed 24 July 2013〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Coat of arms of Dalmatia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
