So it was Clovis. Does it say: "Anglia portat in armiß fine treß..."? Something about frogs. And I loose it after that.
[Dominus de Botraux in] Anglia portat in armis suis tres bot[r]aces nigros in campo argenteo.

The legend about Clovis I receiving the new emblem from an angel is, sadly, just a legend. The heraldic emblem "fleur de lys" for the kingdom was not adopted until the 12th century (Louis VII) and, before that, heraldry didn't exist.
