Definition: The word "Gloucestershire" is a county in England, as well as an historic county in Wales, which also has its own coat-of-arms. The county was formed from the ancient English county of Gloucester, which had previously been part of Mercia. It was named after King Edward I of England, who granted it the name "Gloucestershire" to commemorate his victory over the Welsh king Cynagath, who had ruled over the area since 870. The coat-of-arms for the county is a simple gold eagle with an argent lion rampant holding its staff. The crest features four concentric bands of gold on a white ground, symbolizing the county's rich history and wealth. In Wales, "Gloucestershire" is also known as "Wrestonshire", referring to the ancient Welsh kingdom that ruled over much of western England during the 9th-14th centuries. The coat-of-arms for the county also features a red dragon with its tail and a white cross.
