Talk:Flag of Tasmania

Red lion = England?
The article says it is "presumed" the red lion is a link with England. This is not in the source cited. Within the UK, the red lion is connected with Scotland, whereas England uses the gold lion. Is there any reliable source that actually says the red lion is a reference to England, rather then Scotland - or perhaps a mix of the two? (Red like Scotland, but passant like England not rampant)? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.255.223.3 (talk) 05:54, 9 June 2021 (UTC)

(^above comment): I think it may have just been an interpretation issue (unspecific), as the Tasmanian lion was invented on the British (predominantly English) level and is a general European heraldic symbol; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lion_(heraldry)#:~:text=It%20traditionally%20symbolises%20courage%2C%20nobility,coat%20of%20arms%20of%20Jerusalem. --Mairremena (talk) 11:25, 26 August 2021 (UTC)
