The '''eagle''' is a large [[bird of prey]], known for large wingspan and keen eyesight. The golden eagle is found in [[Europe]], [[Asia]] and [[North America]]. Various sea-eagles are also found in [[Europe]]. Eagles were used by the upper nobility for [[falconry]]. |
|||
The eagle was the symbol of Imperial [[Rome]], and appeared on a lot of royal [[heraldry]] in Central and Eastern Europe, much as the [[lion]] was used in Western Europe. It is normally blazoned [[displayed]], having its wings spread and its head to the side. |
|||
The eagle was also commonly used as the [[Christian]] [[12th Century symbolism|symbol]] for [[St John]] the Evangelist, one of [[Jesus Christ]]'s disciples. This can be seen in many locations, including [[stained-glass window]]s and [[illumination|illuminated]] [[manuscript]]s like the [[Book of Hours]] or the [[Book of Kells]]. |
