What do the three lions represent on the English logo?

Answer:

From Henry II to Richard I the football teams would have had one lion on their shirt. Ok, not really because football wasn't so organised in those days. Only Richard I decided on two lions and later three lions as the symbol of England. Two lions were the symbol of the Dukes of Normandy-all latter monarchs become in effect the Duke of Normandy. It is unclear why another lion was added.
