In addition to the "fleur-de-lis," the royal cognizance of France, King Henry the Fifth assumed as a badge a cresset light, or, beacon burning; signifying, according to some, his sudden attacks on France, and according to others, that he would show that on his succession to the throne his virtues would, by his righteous reign, shine like the light of a cresset, though formerly obscured, and that be would be a light and guide to his people, that they might follow him to all virtue and honour.
