I’m in Rome, and confused why I’m seeing the Fleur de Lis in St. Peter’s Basilica and other places. What’s the connection with Bourbons and the Vatican?

    Quite a few Popes had the Fleur-de-Lis in their Coat of Arms, maybe you saw those?

    For example:

    • XIIIth century: Urban IV, Innocent V, Nicholas IV
    • XVIth century: Paul III
    • XVIIth century: Innocent X
    • XIXth century: Leo XIII
